On Wednesday, I found a poem written to the bulletin board. It was about jelly rolls, because why not?

Over by town hall, Mitzi told me she wondered if her friend Eloise was still hard at work. Of course, Eloise was clearly within sight, and Mitzi could’ve just yelled out and asked her.

On Thursday, Gulliver’s UFO flew overhead, and I promptly shot it out of the sky with my surprisingly powerful slingshot.

It was my first UFO of 2024, and my 32nd overall. After I gathered up the missing parts of Gulliver’s ship, he rewarded me with a Metroid (for the 4th time).

Yesterday, Peanut asked me for some orange furniture. I bought a classic sofa for her at Nookington’s, because it looked orange to me. However, Peanut didn’t agree, and she refused to accept the gift.

This evening, Octavian told me it was his favorite time to be at the beach…because it’s so bleak and devoid of joy.

He said it reminds him of himself.

After making my rounds, I headed to the Roost and waited for 8:00 to arrive. Once it did, I asked K.K. Slider for a random song, and he played one of my favorites: K.K. Faire.

If you haven’t yet seen my latest Wild World video, here it is:

Thanks for stopping by, and enjoy your weekend!

On Wednesday, Peanut told me she was finally over her cold. She was very grateful, but even she couldn’t believe how many times I gave her medicine.

To thank me, she gave me some steel flooring.

Yesterday, Bones informed me that Sable was acting like a space cadet. He wondered why she was more spaced out than he was.

That made me wonder if I’ve been missing out on Sable’s backstory dialogue all this time. I know Tom Nook, Blathers, and the pelican sisters have a lot of that dialogue, but admittedly, I don’t visit Able Sisters much any more. I did befriend her in the early months of my town, but I don’t check in regularly throughout the year.

So I headed over there to see what was going on. But Sable didn’t have much to say, other than to confirm what Bones said.

Mabel said that Sable gets like this each winter. I guess I’ll need to keep checking in on them in the coming weeks.

Today, Caroline was telling me that La-Di-Day is coming up on Saturday (tomorrow). She was confident that she wasn’t going to lose to Bones, because he’s a tone-deaf dweeb!

Don’t call Bones a dweeb, you big-eyed freak! I don’t plan on playing tomorrow, but I wouldn’t have chosen Caroline’s tune anyway since she insulted Bones like that.

Octavian was feeling good, because he finally got a good house score from the HRA.

He got 9,732 points, which may not sound all that high, but it is good for a villager house. That score will probably go down in time, as he displays the random junk I’ll eventually give him (and clears out some of his space stuff).

I’ll be posting my latest Wild World episode (video) this weekend, so keep an eye out for that! See you soon!

On Wednesday, I received my monthly bank statement from town hall. I earned exactly 50,000 bells of interest on my savings this month!

I’m now halfway to the maximum interest payment (99,999 bells), so apparently I’ll need to reach 20 million bells in savings to reach that. That will take me at least a few years, though. Earning money is such a slow process in older Animal Crossing games!

I found Pascal by the shore, and he told me some words of wisdom about selling things.

Yesterday, I heard someone fall into a pitfall, so I looked around. I found my buddy Bones struggling to get out. Aww, poor Bones!

Octavian was home, so I got to see the inside of his house. Much like in other games, he has a bunch of space items and a couple of robo items as well.

Today, Drift gave me a free item; it was a sleigh that he just found lying around.

You don’t think he swiped it when Santa was inside someone’s house delivering presents, do you? I hope not. (Maybe that’s why Wild World doesn’t celebrate Toy Day, because Santa’s sleigh got stolen.)

Peanut has still been sick this week, so I gave her more medicine Wednesday, yesterday, and today. I’m starting to think medicine in this game doesn’t actually help at all.
