Meteor Shower, Olivia’s Party

Last week, Wishy sent me a deluxe washer in the mail.

Until recently, I wasn’t entirely sure that Wild World had proper meteor showers. Yes, I have seen a shooting star on random clear nights, but they were typically isolated incidents. But on Tuesday, I saw FIVE shooting stars during a 15-minute play session. I’d say that qualifies as a meteor shower. I wished on three of them, even though you only need to wish on one to get a letter from Wishy.

Over by town hall, Bunnie asked Bob when Tom Nook’s birthday was, and Bob said it was on the 28th. Bunnie asked if I knew when it was, and I said yes…because Bob just said it. Bob then acted surprised that I cared so much(?), and he said he wished his brother was like me.

Bob: I wish my brother was like you, sunshine... Sniff...

I’m guessing Bob’s brother forgot his birthday? The whole thing was actually a bit confusing. Perhaps it wasn’t the best-written bit of dialogue.

Yesterday, I received my latest reward from Wishy. It was another deluxe washer! I wish Wishy would give me some art instead! Or at least something different! 😛

Today (February 3rd) is Olivia’s birthday, and I attended her party. Bob was also there, and Olivia was excited as I handed her a gift…

Olivia: Huh? Really? I'm so excited! It's a lie!

I gave her a doghouse that I found in the lost and found. 😂 She called it an interesting choice, which sounded sarcastic even before she said that was a lie. I don’t know what to believe! 😛

Olivia: You've made such an interesting choice for me, it's a lie!
She gave me a pine bonsai in return.

Bunnie has been sick with a cold, so I gave her some medicine yesterday and then again today.

Peanut asked me to buy her rose wall for 2,410 bells, and I declined the offer. She wasn’t happy about that, and she told me I’m never going to get anywhere in life.

Peanut: Y'know, with that kind of attitude, you're NEVER going to get anywhere in life!
So paying high prices for things I don’t want is the key to success? You’re nuts!

Pascal was in town, so I gave him my last remaining scallop. He gave me another golden axe. I don’t really need it, but oh well. 😛 🤷‍♂️

Cyrano in Love

Last Wednesday, I got to see the inside of Deena’s house. I was surprised that it looked like a gym! There was a weight bench, basketball hoop, table tennis, and a bunch of lockers! I would’ve expected something like this inside of a jock’s house.

The sporty inside of Deena's house in Animal Crossing: Wild World.

Snake has still been sick, so I gave him some more medicine last Tuesday and Wednesday. By Thursday, he was over his cold and he gave me a modern sofa.

Saharah was in town Thursday, and I made deliveries to Phyllis and Tom Nook for her. In return, she offered me an ancient wall or a lunar surface. I jumped at the chance to get the lunar surface; that’s what I’ve been hoping for!

Saharah: Do you want an ancient wall or a lunar surface?

I installed it in my space room, and it’s almost complete. All I need now is the rocket from Crazy Redd.

The lunar surface in my ACWW space room.
Just don’t ask me how there’s a moon on the moon.

When I spoke with Olivia, she mentioned that Katrina switched from using a crystal ball to using tarot cards instead. That’s an interesting tidbit of information, although Katrina now uses a crystal ball again in New Horizons.

Olivia: She used to use her crystal ball to see the secrets of the future, but...
Olivia: ...she recently switched props. So she uses cards now, it's a lie.

I wished on two shooting stars last week; Wishy sent me a robo-stereo one day and a cement mixer another. Neither is what I wished for. 😛

Today (Monday), I shot down Gulliver’s UFO. It was my 14th one overall. I gathered up the astronaut’s spaceship parts, and he gave me a compass. Unfortunately, that was another duplicate item that I already had.

Gulliver: I am known as Gulliver. I am an astronaut from what you call outer space.

Over by the museum, Cyrano told me about a time he got a leg cramp while sipping cappuccino at the Roost. He said Celeste rolled her eyes at him, and he thought he was in love. 😛

Cyrano: Celeste totally rolled her eyes at me... I thought I was in love, in my nose!

Later on, I wished on another shooting star. I can’t tell you what I wished for, but I’m hoping to donate it to the museum. 😉 See you next time!

Deena Flies to Town

Last week, I wished on a shooting star, and Wishy sent me a baby panda in the mail. Since Wishy can apparently send spotlight products, I may put more time and effort into looking for shooting stars on clear nights. It’s taking forever for Nook to stock the paintings I need, so I’ll try anything at this point!

On Wednesday, I shot down Gulliver’s UFO for the 13th time. I gathered up his missing UFO parts, and he rewarded me with an Arc de Triomphe.

Gulliver: At last, I can repair my Porpoise and return home! I am indebted to you!

That was a duplicate item for me, and I still have the first one I got from him. So I sold this one to Tom Nook for 2,300 bells.

Today (January 17th), I found a new house in the spot where Kiki once lived. That meant that Goldie’s replacement has moved in! I went inside and found Deena the duck.

Deena: One night, you and I should go stargazing and see if we can spot Cancer!

She may not be the cutest animal around, but she does seem nice! Welcome to Forest, ducky! 🙂

Snake was sick with a cold today, and he did not look well.

Snake is sick.
How can I talk you out of ever making that face again?

I gave him some medicine, but I’m sure it will take many more doses before he starts to feel better.

Cyrano asked me to buy a nebula shirt for 530 bells, and I took him up on the offer. But after I handed over the bells, he called me a sucker for buying the shirt at that price.

Cyrano: Thanks, come again! (Heh, I should sell ALL my junk to suckers like this!)

I recently posted a video taking a look at 24 things that Wild World introduced–features, events, tools, and special characters–that are still around today. Please give it a watch if you have the time!

That’s all for today. See you next time!
