On Wednesday, I found this “Talking to Myself” post on the bulletin board. It’s about one of the pelicans making sludgy tea for her sister.

Yesterday, I put some bells into the bank, and I reached a major milestone: I’ve now saved up ten million bells!

Today, I received a letter from town hall. They congratulated me on saving ten million bells, and they sent me a gift! I was not expecting this!

I opened the gift; it was a piggy bank! I put it in my (mush) bedroom, moving one of my Master Swords to storage to make space for it.

Each time I use it, I lose one bell. So it actually works, except that you can’t get the money back out.

When I visited Peanut, she was telling me about this trendy harmonica she just bought. She said it was hard to use, so she wished she had just bought bought a discount harmonica instead.

I know this is random, but this made me imagine a new character for a future game: A special character who sells (or gives) you a different musical instrument each time they come to town. Perhaps you’ll hear a faint musical tune while walking in your town, and you have to look for the source (by shaking a tree perhaps). A bird flies down and gives you an instrument. I don’t know, just a thought.

Anyway, Drift asked me to stop by Bones’s house to make a delivery, and I agreed to help out. But almost immediately after ending the conversation with Drift, I saw Bones practically right there! That made the delivery super easy!

I handed Bones the gift (a red down vest), and then Drift gave me a lab wall for helping out. I wish all requests were this easy!

I’ll be back with another entry next week. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, everyone!

On Wednesday, I shot down Gulliver’s UFO (for the 30th time, if my records are correct). He asked me to recover the missing parts of his spaceship for him.

I gathered up the parts and returned them to Gulliver. In exchange, he gave me a Mouth of Truth (my 4th one).

Yesterday, Mitzi asked me to compete to see who could catch a sea bass first. Since that’s (obviously) an easy fish to catch, I agreed to the contest. I found one almost instantly, and Mitzi gave me 510 bells as my prize. But then she suggested that next time, she’ll steal my fishing rod before we start!

Wow, what a poor sport! Not what I expected from Mitzi, at all.

Today, I found Pascal near the shore. He told me not to judge anyone who fakes a smile.

He then gave me a keg before he jumped into the ocean and swam away.

Mitzi was talking about the sea bass I gave her yesterday, and she said she can always talk to her fishies if she doesn’t have any friends.

I delivered a gift from Drift to Dotty tonight. Dotty didn’t care much for the shirt, but Drift still rewarded me with 510 bells for making the delivery. He also said Dotty and I are his best buds…although he was frowning as he said it.

If you haven’t yet seen my latest Wild World video, here it is. Episode #61.

Yesterday morning, it was really foggy in town as I took a walk along the beach.

Gracie was in town, so I took her quiz and earned another Fashionista badge. I paid her 5,000 bells for new clothes, and she gave me this outfit: A groovy shirt and a paperboy cap.

This morning, Bones told me that he woke up and took a big swig of tomato soup. That sounds disgusting.

He actually thought he looked cool doing that, like a cowboy. Bones is so crazy.

Over by town hall, Peanut was happy to see me, and she started to cheer for me. But she seemingly forgot what letter my name started with, despite literally just calling me J-town.

She said she was going to relax and do nothing all day.

Meanwhile, Caroline told me she filled up her watering can, and she’s going to have a gardening day! Good luck with that!

Dotty is still sick, so I gave her more medicine yesterday and today.

I posted a new video today, taking a look at some of the positivity that comes from feel-good dialogue throughout the Animal Crossing series (including several clips from Wild World). I hope you’ll take a look!
