Mitzi’s Pic

On Wednesday, I witnessed Goose falling into a pitfall behind my house. 😆 It was a random pitfall (not one that I buried), but it was funny to see him take a fall.

Goose, in a pitfall: WHAT'S GOING ON?! THE RAGE! IT'S TAKING ME!! Yaargh, nutty!!!

Moments later, Mitzi pinged me and gave me her picture! …Or yarn.

Mitzi: It's nothing much. Just a picture of me, or yarn, but I hope you like it!
Well, I’m hoping it’s not a picture of yarn.

I placed the photo in my house, and Mitzi’s favorite quote is “Sometimes I think I’m the only sane one around.”

When I visited Bob, he asked if I’ve eaten fruit salad. He said that it could compete for the top spot in his “Gut Rankings.” There’s gut to be a better name for a list of favorite foods. 😛

Bob: It could definitely compete for the top spot in my Gut Rankings, in a jar.

Today, there was a new “Talking to Myself” post on the bulletin board. It was talking about classical music, and the difference between allegro, andante, …and al dente. 😆

-Talking to Myself- Classical music... Allegro is faster, andante is laid back, and al dente is the only way to cook pasta.

Dr. Shrunk was in town, and I told him I’d like to learn the emotion of contentment. He said that we all wear masks, and we must break free of them.

Shrunk: We all wear masks. You, me, Tom Nook (well, he wears a raccoon suit, ...

He then started smiling real big, and I tapped the screen to learn the emotion. I chose to replace “scheming” with contentment.

Shrunk: ...and learned how to express contentment! We've made some real progress!

The random daily pitfall claimed another victim today: Bob!

Bob: Someone help me! I can't get out! In a jar!
Aww, poor Bob.

It’s dangerous out there! Be careful! 🙂

Bright Nights 2023

This is the week of the Bright Nights festival!

Hey, everybody! The Bright Nights are here!

All of the villagers’ houses, along with many of the cedar trees in town, are decorated with festive lights. It may not make a lot of sense, but the lights are pretty, and they brighten up these otherwise bleak winter nights.

Bones's house decorated for Bright Nights.
Bones’s house was one of the better displays.

Over near town hall, Butch was overconfident that he was going to win.

Butch: Yeah, all the losers in this town better wave a white flag, nutty!
Wolfgang later repeated this same bit of dialogue.

Even though the festival was dominating discussions around town, not everyone was obsessed with it. Eloise was more concerned with her dry skin. 😛

Eloise: I've actually got chronically dry skin, nutty.

But she told me a home remedy that works for her: Waldorf salad. On her face. It sounds a bit nutty to me, but she swears by it.

Eloise: The Waldorf salad facial! ...What!? It really works! Just look at me!

Bones was finally over his cold, and he thanked me for the medicine by giving me an ornate wall.

After checking out all of the decorated houses, I decided that Wolfgang’s looked the best. He has some decorated cedar trees near his house that added to the appeal. (Even if the narrow camera viewpoint prevents a good look at the whole area.)

So I returned to Tortimer to tell him my choice.

Tortimer: Perhaps I'll pass that on to Wolfgang.

I spoke with Wolfgang again, and he acknowledged my choice.

Wolfgang: Hey, sunshine! Were my lights really that awesome?

Bright Nights continue through Sunday night, so you still have several more days to check them out for yourself.

See you all next time! 🙂

Speaking to Starfish

Yesterday, I saw a large fish shadow in the river, and I caught myself a stringfish! 😀 It’s always exciting to catch a valuable fish like this. 🙂

I completely rock! YIPPEEEEEE!

Mitzi asked me for a new catchphrase to replace “nutty,” so I told her to say “or yarn” instead.

Mitzi: Hmmmmm... I'll have to think about this, or yarn.

Speaking of catchphrases, Bob has continued using his recent one, telling me that he got a picture of a couch in a jar. 😆

Bob: I recently got this really nice picture of a couch, in a jar.

It’s too bad we can’t layer catchphrases, so he could say it’s in a jar, in a box, for example. 😉

Today, Pascal was in town. Apparently, he’s been asking starfish about the meaning of life. And apparently, they spoke back to him? 😛

Pascal: Ask any starfish about the secret to life...
Pascal: And they'll tell you that you've just gotta keep hanging on, maaannn.

Pascal gave me some sea view wallpaper and then jumped into the ocean.

A shooting star flew overhead, but it happened while I was in a conversation with Goose. So I had no chance to wish on it. 🙁

I listened in on a conversation between Wolfgang and Eloise, and Wolfgang was being quite rude to Eloise. He said she was looking scraggly today.

Wolfgang: I gotta say, Eloise, you've got a scraggly look going on today...

Eloise stormed off angrily, and I can’t blame her.

Bones has still been sick with a cold, so I gave him more medicine Monday, Wednesday, yesterday, and again today. That’s five doses of medicine he’s had now (including last Friday), so I feel this has been really excessive. Colds shouldn’t last this long in a video game. 😛

I recently posted my latest Wild World video, episode 52. It covers the events of January. I hope you’ll check it out!

See you next time!
