Eloise Exits

Yesterday, I noticed that Drift has straightened up his house a bit. He lined up all of his bugs against his back wall, and his house has never been so neat and clean. 😆

Drift and his five bugs, lined up neatly against his back wall.

It also shows how many bugs I’ve caught for him. 😛

When I visited Truffles, she actually looked lovely for once. 😉

Truffles, not visible standing behind a lovely kitchen: Good evening! You're still full of energy, aren't you? Snoutie!

Eloise, meanwhile, has continued to show me how snooty she can be.

Eloise: Hmmm... You know what your problem is? You're lacking a distinct personal style.

She told me that I should start a rockabilly band to play for her enjoyment.

Eloise: You should form a band and play rockabilly for me to dance to.

Today, Truffles asked me to take a gift (a fluffy shirt) over to Filbert, and I agreed to help out. Filbert complimented me on the speedy delivery, and then…said he and Truffles were worried about me. Why would they be worried if it was a speedy delivery? 🤔

Filbert: Huh huh huh! That was fast. Truffles and I were worried about you, pal.

Truffles rewarded me with a ranch armchair.

A message posted to the bulletin board was about being the author being rebellious and looking at whatever she wants. Unless it’s gross, of course. 😛

-Talking to Myself- Who was it that decided some things shouldn't be seen? I'll see what I want! ...Unless it's GROSS!

Tank has come down with a cold this week, so I gave him some medicine Wednesday, yesterday, and today. Get well soon, Tank!

When I went into Eloise’s house, I saw that she was all packed up and ready to move out. Like I mentioned in last week’s entry, I feel like it’s time to let her go…so I did.

Eloise: It's not your business, but I've got a dream I have to pursue. Someplace else.

Her snootiness has been annoying me lately, and she’s had a nice, long stay in Forest (two full years). Bye, Eloise!

I plan on posting my next Wild World video this weekend early next week, so keep an eye out for that! Have a great weekend!

Sausages Strike Back

I listened in on a conversation between Eloise and Bones today. Eloise told Bones his shirt was too tight, and she said he looked like an overstuffed sausage! 😮

Eloise: You look like an overstuffed sausage, and I, for one, am offended!

That comment made Bones sad, and he said maybe he ate too many poached pears yesterday. Eloise asked what I thought, and I said Bones’s shirt was fine. She didn’t like that I sided with Bones, and she implied that I was an overstuffed sausage too!

Eloise: So maybe the overstuffed sausage look IS in, tooooot.

Bones was actually happy that she said the overstuffed sausage look was in, because that meant he could eat even more. 😛

Bones: I better get on that and start gobbling lots of rice pudding!

However, I wasn’t as willing to overlook Eloise’s rude comments so quickly. After I found the day’s pitfall seed, I planted it just for Eloise. Don’t mess with Bones, or me. 😛

Eloise, holding a shovel, struggles to get out of a pitfall.

I’m starting to think Eloise may have overstayed her welcome here in Forest. I may consider letting her go the next time she tries to move out.

When I visited Octavian, he was laughing and I didn’t know why. I replied with “Are you hurt?” and he angrily said he was trying to sneeze…and I distracted him.

Octavian: Jeff! What's the big idea? I was about to sneeze

I didn’t want an octopus sneezing in my face! (Not that I knew he was trying to sneeze.)

Truffles asked me to deliver a letter to Bones, and I agreed to help out. She told him to never give up on his dreams, and he really liked the letter.

Bones: Huh huh huh. Letters really soothe the heart. Almost as much as pizza.

When I returned to Truffles, she thanked me for making the delivery. But she didn’t give me a reward! Apparently it’s because my pockets were full. She didn’t say a thing about it, though! I’ll probably get her reward in the mail next time.

Over at town hall, I put 100k into my savings account. My balance just reached 13 million bells.

Pelly: The current bell balance is 13,000,000.

I hope to see you all next time!

Soda Water Expert

On Tuesday, Octavian surprised me by telling me that he can’t stand Pete! What did he ever do to you?

Octavian: Grr... You know that Pete guy? I can't stand him! Yip yip!

He said if I wanted to know why, I had to go to town hall and find out for myself. This was just his way of letting me know Pelly or Phyllis had some new dialogue about Pete, apparently. Pelly was talking about the slap mark on Pete’s face, which of course is dialogue I’ve seen before.

Wednesday, Bones was telling me about a movie he saw recently. He said it was about a guy who shampooed his hair with milk. 🤔

Bones: I saw this movie yesterday about a guy who shampooed with milk.
…why?

He said it was one of his top-ten favorite movies ever. I bet the movie studio is already planning on milking it to make a sequel. I’m sure the series will be a big cash cow. 🐄

Remember my short video about catching bugs after scaring them away? I was asked on Youtube recently (by bok1791) if it only works with a golden net. I tested it out yesterday, and I can confirm it works with a regular net as well.

Today, I was surprised when Truffles enthusiastically told me that I should become a soda water expert. Wait, what?

Truffles: OMIGOSH! You should totally become a professional soda water expert!

It turns out, she was just practicing her acting skills. Does this mean I should give up my dream of becoming a soda water expert? 🙁

Truffles: Most actresses these days are just a pretty face.
Truffles: But I'm so much more than that. It's all in the eyes!

She tried to convince me that she’s more than just a pretty face. (No, she’s less.)

And not to be outdone, Eloise had something almost as ridiculous to say: She said that she doesn’t think fossils mind being dug up by her. 😆

Eloise: I don't think fossils feel bad about being dug up by me, tooooot.

At least her statement is actually true. It’s just a weird way of looking at things. 😛

Filbert has been sick with a cold, so I gave him some medicine Wednesday, Thursday, and again today.

Filbert: Hack... Hack... Oh, whoooa... My legs are as wobbly as grape jelly, yip yip.

Get well soon, little guy!

Gracie was in town today, but I didn’t even bother to talk to her. How bad of me. 😛 Have a great weekend, everyone! I’ll see you next time!
