I was surprised to find Lyle outside my house today as I started up the game. He had some questions for me. First, he asked what day I’d prefer Crazy Redd to visit. Saturday wasn’t an option, so I picked Tuesday. He then started asking some grim questions about insurance.
After answering his questions, he told me I needed insurance right now.
He told me it would just cost me 3,000 bells. Since I don’t see how insurance would do any good in a video game (especially one in which you can’t actually get sick or die), I said no. So he said he would knock the price down to 3,000 bells (the same price) and asked me again. I said no, and he just kept repeating the same shtick. Over and over, I said no. Ten times!
Clearly the game was forcing me to buy it, so I had no choice. He stole my money. I never really understood while people seemed to hate Lyle, but now I get it. He’s a thief.
Anyway, July is here now. So there are new types of insects and fish available. While I didn’t do a whole lot of fishing and bug-catching, I did do a little. My new catches included an evening cicada, a sweetfish, and a walkingstick.
Kiki was still sick, so I gave her medicine once again. But she needs to get over it already.
The flea market was held today, and Hopper told me to peruse his priceless artifacts. I thought he was going for alliteration until he said artifacts.
He should have said “peruse my priceless possessions, promptly.” 😛 But he wasn’t interested in selling me his fish, so I just left.
A message posted on the bulletin board said that the rainy season will end by mid-July.
I ran into Rod by the museum, and he told me I could always talk to him if I have any issues. “After all, we’re photo pals,” he said. That’s pretty cool.
Inside the museum, I donated my new catches. Blathers informed me that the sweetfish is not actually sweet, and still tastes fishy.
I wrapped up my evening at town hall, where I made a 30,000 bell mortgage payment.
Here’s my latest Wild World video, showing some of the more interesting happenings since March.
Many of my villagers were talking about the flea market coming up on Saturday. I don’t think it’s all that exciting, to be honest.
I saw the new Message of the Week on the bulletin board, and it’s a good one. It says a friend in need is a friend indeed…and an enemy in need is hilarious. 😀
When I visited Baabara, she talked about the weather. She said it was getting cold…and then she told me to shear her! Wouldn’t it make more sense to shear you when it’s hot? 😛 Of course that’s just her catchphrase. 😛
It would be funny if I actually could shear her, though. I bet she’d look so much smaller without all that wool! Ewe could hardly recognize her.
It was raining in town tonight, and I saw Big Top switch from his bug net to his umbrella. I went fishing (in both the river and the ocean), but I didn’t catch anything new tonight.
At the Roost, I checked out the Saturday night musical performance. K.K. Slider sang K.K. Casbah for me.
There were no new messages on the bulletin board, and not much seemed to be going on tonight. At town hall, I made a 15,000 bell mortgage payment and then found a cabin couch in the recycle bin.
