Bright Nights 2019

I played on Saturday, and Gaston told me it was colder than an icicle’s armpit outside. That’s an interesting comparison. I certainly haven’t heard that one before.

Gaston: It's colder than an icicle's armpit out here, mon chou!

Near the river, I spotted some purple tulips! That’s another hybrid I can use to attract a peacock butterfly next month.

When I played tonight, I learned that the Bright Nights festival was underway! Cool! That means festive lights will decorate some trees around town, and also the villagers’ houses.

Tortimer was outside of town hall for the occasion, and he asked me whose house looked the best. I told him Kiki, and he said he’d give her a congratulatory slap on the back.

Tortimer: After all, I am the mayor! And a slap from me is better than a cookie!

The only downside of the event is that Crazy Redd wasn’t in town this week. Well, I guess there was one other downside. Jeremiah got an attitude after he heard that I liked Kiki’s house the best.

Jeremiah: Well, I guess there's no accounting for taste. Especially bad taste!
Salty frog.

One other thing I noticed tonight, was the new moon in the sky. I’m not sure why it caught my eye, but it did. 😛

Rosie suggested a new nickname for me, “Sugar J.” I was actually going to accept it, but I clicked the wrong option. For some reason, the decline option is first and the accept option is second when they offer new nicknames in Wild World. I almost always click the wrong thing, out of habit. But since I declined, I had to choose something. So I made Rosie declare me to be the mayor. 😛

Rosie: OK then! Done! Hooray! From now on, you're always gonna be mayor!

If you’re looking to check out Bright Nights, you have the rest of this week to do it. And speaking of Bright Nights, they make a brief appearance in my latest video: 13 Things I’d Like to See in Animal Crossing Switch. Give it a watch if you’d like, and have a great day! 🙂

Double Dark Chocolate

Thanks to a message on the bulletin board, I learned that I missed Margie’s birthday yesterday. Oops.

-Happy Birthday- Today is Margie's birthday! Margie is now one step closer to being an adult. Bring 'em a present!

In front of town hall, Crazy Redd had his tent set up. Inside, he had a rare painting for sale. That’s the same one he had last week (and it was real), so I didn’t need to buy it again.

Bree asked me to deliver a present (an orange jumpsuit) to Roald, and I agreed to help out. Roald didn’t enjoy the gift, but Bree still rewarded me with 500 bells for making the delivery.

Rosie had a surprising question for me tonight. She asked if she got me a double dark chocolate! Huh?

Rosie: (Did I) get you a double dark chocolate?

If she had done that, I certainly would have remembered! But she did not. However, she seemed to think otherwise, and she said I could pay her back with double interest. Yeah, don’t count on that happening, Rosie.

Rosie: You can just pay me back with double interest!

After making my rounds, I started shaking some trees. I found a robo-clock and a few bags of bells, but I also got stung by bees a couple of times. Even though it looked like my glasses hid my swollen eye, Big Top had the decency to let me know that my face looks terrible. Thanks, big guy.

Big Top: Whoa! What happened?! Your face, mayor! It looks terrible! Baconballs!

Rare Painting!

Crazy Redd was in town, and he again had a rare painting for sale. I purchased it and rushed over to the museum. Blathers had some good news for me: The painting was legitimate!

Rare painting. Donor: Jeff.

Only two more paintings to go!

I ran into Bree outside, and she made a point of telling me I’m not very memorable. I could say the same thing about her! Rude.

Bree: You're not the most memorable person I've ever met. You gotta visit more.

Kiki was wondering what things would be like if the ocean was made of mint tea.

Kiki: Think about it for a sec... What if the sea were made of mint tea?
It would be mint-tea fresh.

She then took it a step further, wondering what the fish in the minty sea would taste like. Where does she come up with this stuff? 😛

I wonder what the fish would taste like, marinating in that stuff all day!

Big Top told me that “Fashion Lad” was looking for a new look. So I bought him a six-ball shirt at Able Sisters and it took it over to him.

Big Top, wearing a six-ball shirt: Yesss! I'm going to transform before your very eyes! Baconballs!

He put it on, and he now has a green shirt with the number 6 on it, to match his green helmet with the number 3 on it. He thanked me and gave me 500 bells for helping him out.
