On Thursday night, I saw a large fish shadow in the river, and I thought it might be an eel. (Eel shadows aren’t as thin in this game as they are in later games.) But apparently, this one was still too wide to be an eel…because it was an arapaima instead! I was happy to be wrong about it. ๐

Dotty shared some “Dotty news” with me: July 15th is Caroline’s birthday. Wait, how is that Dotty news? ๐ Apparently she’s throwing the party for Caroline.

I’m not sure if I’ll play Monday or not, but I’ll give you an update in next week’s entry if I do.
Yesterday, I shot down Gulliver’s UFO.
![Gulliver lying unconscious on the ground in front of his UFO.](https://www.jvgs.net/acwwblog/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/ufo-71224.jpg)
As I was speaking with him, one of his UFO parts spawned just behind his ship. Of course, this wasn’t the first time this has happened, but it is kinda funny to just see it magically appear out of nowhere.

I picked it up, and I gathered the other missing parts as well. When I gave them all to Gulliver, he rewarded me with another Moai statue. That’s my 4th one overall, including three of my last five rewards from him! If he keeps this up, I could make my own Easter Island. ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ฟ
At town hall, I found a robo-chair in the recycle bin.
Today is La-Di-Day, and several of my villagers offered to sing me a song, hoping for it to be used as the new town tune. Filbert was the first one, and his song sounded boring, to be honest. It was only six notes, then a delay, and one final note.
![Filbert: Huh huh huh! Well, that could have gone better... What did you think?](https://www.jvgs.net/acwwblog/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/filbert-better.jpg)
Octavian sang a song too, and his was better…but still not good enough. Caroline also performed a song, but it was one I’ve already had before. She didn’t handle the rejection well, and she was afraid that she was going to get voted out of town now. ๐
![Caroline: Oh, no! Does this mean the judges are going to vote me out of the village?](https://www.jvgs.net/acwwblog/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/caroline-voted.jpg)
But then Tank also performed a song, and it sounded very familiar to me. I’m not sure if it’s from a Mario game or something else, but I’m sure I’ve heard it before. Maybe you recognize it?
Update: Thanks to Nozua, I know what the tune is: K.K. Comrade!
I hired Tank, and that is my new town tune. He was thrilled to have his song chosen.
![Tank: See, fans like you are why I can't ever give up on a music career, yip yip!](https://www.jvgs.net/acwwblog/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/tank-music-1.jpg)
Eloise has still been sick with a cold this week, so I gave her some more medicine Thursday, yesterday, and again today. She said she’s starting to feel a little better, but I hope she gets over it quickly.
Tonight, I found another item in the recycle bin: A T-rex skull! ๐ฆ
I’ll be back with more next week. Hope to see you then!
Iโve used the following tunes in my ACWW town:
5/21/22-8/14/22: Luigiโs Mansion
8/14/22-11/14/22: Sariaโs Song
11/14/22-1/14/23: The Final Countdown
1/14/23-3/22/23: E GFE D CDEGC
3/22/23-5/13/23: Faraway Promise
5/13/23-onwards: Final Fantasy VII Airship
Nice! I have a bad habit of rarely changing my town tune in most Animal Crossing games, so I’m glad Wild World has La-Di-Day. I can change it without doing the work of entering the notes myself. ๐
