Brian and Whitney

On Wednesday, I received my latest bank statement from town hall. I earned 65,000 bells in interest this month.

I also received Eloise’s goodbye letter. So long, Eloise!

I'm outta here, Jeff! I'm moving, and it's sad. But the IMPORTANT thing is it's all about me. 'Cause I'm moving. And it's sad. Later! -From, Eloise

As I saw on the bulletin board, the Acorn Festival starts next week! Cornimer will be here soon!

-Acorn Festival Notice- The Acorn Festival starts next Monday! Let's all go find nature's most eerie and mysterious of gifts... THE MIGHTY ACORN!

I shot down a balloon present, and the gift was actually a space station! Did I just shoot down the space station?! Oops! 🛰️

Last night, I wished on a shooting star. Today, Wishy sent me an Arwing (Fox McCloud’s space ship from Star Fox). I guess that makes two items from space that ended up in my pockets this week. 🚀

Tank was out for a walk tonight, and he told me that walking is good for the body…and good for Brian. Yes, Brian.

Tank: Walks are good for the bod, of course, but they're also good for Brian.

My character apparently corrected him, telling him he meant “brain,” not Brian. He wasn’t convinced at first, though he did wonder if he was a meathead. 😛

Tank: Hm? Brain? ...You sure it's not Brian? You're positive? Am I a meathead?

Octavian came down with a cold this week. So I gave him some medicine yesterday, and again today. Get well soon, Octavian!

Octavian: Oh! You actually thought of me, eh? Wow, yip yip!

I found a new house in the same spot where Eloise lived; Whitney the wolf just moved in!

Whitney: I'm Whitney. I fled to this town for many, many complicated reasons.

Even though she is a snooty villager like Eloise, Whitney is definitely one of the better snooties to have. I’ve always liked her. Welcome to Forest, Whitney!

And if you haven’t yet seen my latest video episode (#69), which I posted on Monday, here it is:

Have a great weekend! I’ll be back next week with another entry, during the Acorn Festival.

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!
