Stargazing Cat

On Wednesday, I was surprised to find a goodbye letter from Deena in the mail. Even though she was never one of my favorites, she had grown on me a bit during her stay. And I’m sad to see her go.

Dear Jeff, I'm moving out! Gonna see the world! Everyone in Forest was fun, but you were always the best! Good-bye! -Deena

Yesterday, Peanut warned me I was about to receive the Spike of Sandy Doom!

Peanut: Sunshine! Heads up! Prepare to received the Spike of Sandy Doom!

As confusing as that sounds, she was talking about a volleyball move. Of course, we weren’t actually playing volleyball, and neither of us had a ball, so I still think she’s crazy for saying that. 😉

Bob told me that he’d like for Forest to be so crowded that it’s like a fair all the time. I don’t think it’s just crowds that make a fair a fair, but okay. 😛

Bob: Ideally, I'd like Forest to be so crowded that it's like a fair all the time!

Last night, I wished on a shooting star. Today, Wishy sent me a moon in the mail. I can only imagine the shipping costs on that!

Gracie was in town today, so I took her fashion quiz. As usual, I answered her questions the way I imagined she would respond. And it worked out well; I earned another fashionista badge. I paid her 5,000 bells for a new outfit, and look what she did to me!

Gracie: Snip snip snip..

She put me in a Dutch shirt (which looks like a skirt) and a paperboy cap. Yikes. I quickly changed back into my nebula shirt and sporty shades (even though it’s nighttime).

Deena’s replacement moved in today, and it’s Mitzi the cat! I like Mitzi! 🙂

Mitzi: One night, you and I should go stargazing and see if we can spot Libra!
Sounds like a great idea!

My town now has two cats and two dogs. (The other animals are a chicken, a squirrel, a wolf, and an elephant.)

Goose has been sick lately, so I gave him some medicine Wednesday, yesterday, and then again today. Hopefully he’ll be over his cold by the next time I play.

Goose: I feel like four pounds of trash in a two-pound bag...

Gold is Lame?

On Thursday, Butch asked me if I wanted a golden belt. I said yes, and Butch said he prefers silver. He even said gold is lame…and he didn’t give me anything at all.

Butch: Gold is lame, don't you know? And I'm not talking about the fabric!

As I was trying to figure out what just happened with Butch, I heard a UFO! I got my slingshot out, chased it, and eventually shot it down.

Gulliver: That, my friend, is the secret to living a long life in space. Don't get eaten.

Gulliver asked me to recover his five UFO parts. Once I did, he rewarded me with a plate armor. Unfortunately, that’s an item I already own.

I’ve continued to give Eloise medicine, and she was finally over her cold by yesterday. She thanked me for the meds by giving me a lawn chair.

Bones asked me for a new catchphrase recently, and I told him to say “just bones.” It fit the situation when he asked me for a new fossil.

Bones: I really like fossils, just bones.

Today, Mom sent me a letter about the arrival of fall. It’s about a month too late, but oh well. 😛 She sent me an acorn too, but I didn’t have room in storage to keep it.

Dear Jeff, Summer is over and it's getting chilly. I slipped on some wet leaves today. It was unfortunate. Guess fall's here! -Mom

Since I don’t often play Wild World on Saturdays, I decided to check out K.K. Slider’s show tonight. He performed Café K.K. for me, and it’s not a bad song.

K.K.: All right, get ready to dig the riffs on this ditty: Cafe K.K.!

Have a good night, and I’ll see you all next time!

Acorn Festival 2022

I received a letter from town hall today, informing me that I earned 27,730 bells in interest on my bank account. Not bad!

The Acorn Festival is underway this week, and Cornimer is hanging out near town hall. He told me that he uses his special powers to scatter acorns around town. That’s not exactly the most impressive superpower, if you ask me. 😛

Cornimer: For the next week, I'll be using my special powers to scatter acorns around town.

You can find acorns under trees around town, but it requires a lot of walking back and forth to take them to Cornimer (since our pocket space is limited to 15 items, and no stacking in this game).

Acorns on the ground under trees in Animal Crossing: Wild World.

You must dispose of the rotten acorns to avoid angering Cornimer, and give him only the good acorns. But Tortimer can also give you a fortune. Mine didn’t really reveal much, though.

Your secret fortune: Mini Acorn.
Life: Do your best!
Hopes: It'll be OK.
Karma: Do ten chin-ups. 
Look behind you!

Wolfgang really seemed to be enjoying the festival. A little too much, if you ask me. 😛

Wolfgang: But acorn-hoarding gets me in the loopiest mood! Whooohahaha!

Today is also Goose’s birthday, and I bought an oil drum at the shop to give him as a gift. But by the time I got to his party, I was kinda falling asleep as I played. 😴 And I accidentally gave him an unidentified fossil! Oops! 😲

Goose: A fossil, huh, nutty?!

But he still accepted it, and he even gave me a raven pole in return.

Eloise was still sick, so I gave her some cold medicine.

After giving him Tortimer a total of 63 acorns, I earned a mush stool, a mush end table, a mush lamp, a mush chair, and a mush dresser. I didn’t need them, so I sold them to Tom Nook for a total of 10,750 bells.

You have until Sunday to participate in the Acorn Festival, so good luck! 🙂
