Octavian’s Pic

Today, Drift told me that bug-hunting season is rolling in. Of course, I’m well aware of that fact, and I’m looking forward to it! More so in City Folk than Wild World, but still. I love my bug hunting on summer nights. πŸ™‚

Drift: Looks like bug-hunting season is rolling in, rrrrribbit!

Anyway, he was wanting to have a competition to see who could catch a rare bug. However, I wasn’t interested. I’ll do the simple contests, like catching a moth, but I’m not a fan of these open-ended ones. Especially since it’ll cost me a valuable bug, most likely. πŸ˜› And besides, it was raining in town today, so not many good bugs were out anyway.

Speaking of the rain, Octavian warned me that I should duck and cover! That’s a little over-dramatic, but thanks for the warning, I guess. πŸ˜†

Octavian: It's comin' down hard, now! ...Duck and cover!

Dotty asked me to get her a new outfit, and she said she didn’t care what kind. But I knew better, of course. So I went to Able Sisters and bought two shirts for her, a BB shirt and a No. 5 shirt. I knew there’s always a chance she’ll reject what I give her…and it turns out I was right. She refused the BB shirt because it “looks like a boy outfit.”

Dotty: ...Um...HELLO? Yeah, total miss on this one. It kinda looks like a boy outfit...

So I gave her the backup option, the No. 5 shirt, and she loved it!

Dotty: Wow, sunshine! You're so super generous! I can't wait to try it on!

She rewarded me with a pilot’s cap.

Back outside, Octavian surprised me by giving me his picture!

Octavian: Here... Take this picture of me. It's all yours!
Thank you, Octavian!

It’s not easy finding space in my house, but for now I placed it on the floor in my mush room. On the back, it says his favorite quote: “Don’t be a sucker!”

I sold a few batches of fruit so that I could get my savings balance up to an even 12 million bells.

Pelly: The current bell balance is 12,000,000.

And a couple quick notes about items I found:

  • Yesterday, I found a kiddie dresser in the recycle bin.
  • I shot down two balloon presents today. They contained an exotic lamp and a bromeliaceae.

Enjoy your weekend, and I’ll see you again in July!

Laughing Butterfly

On Wednesday, Filbert wanted to compete to see who could catch a tiger butterfly first. But he framed it in a funny way: He wondered if the butterflies get ticklish if you touch their bellies, so he wanted to find out!

Filbert: Ha! I'd like to see a tiger butterfly rolling around laughing!

However his enthusiasm seemed to die out seconds later, when I handed over the tiger butterfly. He said he “guesses” he’ll take it. πŸ€”

Filbert: I guess I'll take this tiger butterfly.

He made no further mention of tickling it or making it laugh. He just gave me a regal carpet and went on with his life. I guess I’ll never know if they’re ticklish.

Speaking of butterflies, I saw an even bigger one yesterday: a birdwing butterfly. I had to cross the river and chase it down, but it was worth it. Nothing this big should be allowed to fly around freely without me snagging it. πŸ˜†

I caught a birdwing butterfly! A green light in midair!

Filbert recently came down with a cold, so I gave him some medicine yesterday and today. Get well soon, Filbert!

Octavian asked me to deliver a letter to Bones today, and he only gave me ten minutes to do it. That wasn’t a problem, though. Bones loved the letter, and Octavian thanked me for saving his hide.

Octavian: You saved my hide... Thanks, yip yip!

And yet, my reward was just a beige box. I guess his hide isn’t worth much. πŸ“¦

Octavian: Hey, why don't you take my beige box, yip yip?

Later on, I went to the Roost to check out K.K. Slider’s Saturday night performance. He played K.K. Gumbo for me; it’s not one of my favorites, but it’s not bad either.

I posted my latest video episode the other day, so check out episode 66:

See you all next time!

A Fashionable Dot?

It was raining so much on Thursday that Filbert thought he was going to dissolve. But fortunately, he didn’t.

Filbert: I felt so waterlogged, I thought I was gonna dissolve, bucko.

When I visited Octavian, he asked me what I thought of his clothes. He was just wearing a simple big dot shirt, so I just said “meh.” This angered him immensely; he completely, and utterly, tore into me.

Octavian: Yeah, I figured you had no clue about high fashion, or even basec aesthetics.
Octavian: ...Yip yip. You couldn't even recognize a high-quality lipstick
Octavian: ...if you fell on one!
You wear lipstick?

If you really think one big dot is the peak of fashion, then you must’ve been living underwater most of your life.

Yesterday, I shot down Gulliver’s UFO…leaving him unsure of his location.

Gulliver: I'd better check my space... locator...izer... and plot my precise coordinates.

I gathered up his five missing UFO parts, and he rewarded me with another Metroid. A good item, sure, but not what I wanted.

On the bulletin board, there was a new “Talking to Myself” post. The author (again, not sure if it’s Pelly or Phyllis) complains about always having to wash her sister’s lunchbox, in addition to her own.

-Talking to Myself- I've always washed my own lunchbox, and my sister's, too. Siiiiigh! Some things never change!

Today, Filbert wondered why we were both up so early. Sure, technically it was the morning, but it was only about ten minutes to noon!

Filbert: Hey! Whatcha doin' up so early? And for that matter, why am I up?
Maybe you’re just programmed that way.

Still, he was thinking about going back to bed. Naps are always nice. 😴

Filbert: I'm actually thinkin' about goin' back to sleep, hon.

It did feel like a sleepy day, and not much was going on in Forest. But I returned tonight to check out K.K. Slider’s Saturday night show. I asked for a random song, and he performed K.K. Bossa for me. Good song. πŸ‘

Enjoy the rest of your weekend, everyone!
