Groin Cramp?

When I played on Tuesday, I got my weekly HRA score in the mail. Filbert’s pic has boosted my house score again, and I’m now up to 290,500 points.

I saw a large fish shadow in the river, and I fished out a dorado!

Whoa! A golden fish...!?

I knew it was a rare and valuable fish, but I didn’t realize how much it sold for: 15,000 bells! Nice! 😎 Later, I also caught a giant snakehead…which only sold for 5,500 bells.

Yesterday, I spoke with Drift in the morning. With a smile on his face, he told me about his…groin cramp?! I didn’t see that conversation coming.

Drift: Morning! They say the early bird gets the worm.
Drift: All I got was this lousy groin cramp, rrrrribbit!

Saharah was in town, and she needed my help making some deliveries. So I took some wallpaper over to Pelly (for Phyllis), and then I took some carpeting to Tom Nook. Saharah then rewarded me with a shoji screen.

Caroline looks on as Saharah says "Ah, yes! That is very rare!"

When I checked the recycle bin at town hall, I was shocked to find a computer in there! Who throws away a computer? Well, it’s mine now. 😛

Today, it was raining in Forest. Octavian offered me “a little somethin’-somethin’.”

Octavian: Right now, I'm holding a little somethin'-somethin'.

He wanted me to pay 940 bells for it, without even giving me a clue as to what it was. I wasn’t interested, because I figured it was probably an overpriced shirt. 😛

Meanwhile, Truffles called the rain “mean.”

Truffles: Oh, boy, I don't usually say this about ANYTHING, but rain is so mean!

But Tank had the weirdest dialogue of the day. He told me he had just rammed his head into a tree, and he hallucinated seeing a fight between an alien and Eloise in a leotard. I think you may need to see a doctor, Tank.

Tank: It was a space alien! ...And Eloise was fighting it in a leotard!

If you haven’t seen the Youtube Short I posted recently, here it is. It’s me scaring tree bugs away…and then catching them.

Filbert’s Pic

I received my latest Happy Room Academy evaluation today, and my score was up to 287,300 points. The increase is due to the addition of Tank’s pic from last week.

Speaking of villager photos, I was surprised with another one today…from Filbert, of all people! He has only lived in town for two months, so this one was especially surprising!

Filbert: Now, I only give my picture to my bestest friends ever!

I took it home to put it in my house, but of course, space is still limited. I put it on the floor, in front of Tank’s pic.

Just watch out for that horn!

His favorite quote is on the back of the photo. It says “Don’t go nuts or anything.”

Eloise was finally over her cold, and she thanked me for all the medicine by giving me some blue flooring.

Eloise: Thank you, sunshine, from the bottom of my heart.
Aww, you’re welcome, Eloise.

As I figured, Bones asked me for some lovely furniture tonight (as he’s been doing lately). I gave him the lovely loveseat that I found in the recycle bin last week; he loved it!

Bones: Whoa! I can't believe it! A lovely loveseat! Yip yip!

He gave me 510 bells in return. I wondered if he would put it out right away, so I quickly left and re-entered his house. Sure enough, he set it out and I put it to good use.

Look, Bones! A huh huh huh…I’m sitting!

I’ve been practicing a useless skill related to bug-catching…and I’ll show it off in a Youtube Shorts video next week. But in the meantime, check out my latest Wild World episode, #67:

See you next week! Never Stop Crossing! 🙂

Tank’s Pic, Fireworks

The fireworks festival was held tonight, and Tortimer was standing outside of town hall for the occasion. When I spoke with him, he gave me a sparkler. I promptly set it off and watched the mini-explosions. Even Filbert came over to watch.

Well actually, Filbert was only standing there because he wanted me to buy his gold armor suit from him. 😛

Filbert: Want to buy my gold armor suit for 790 bells.

I asked him to give me “the buddy price,” but he declined my counter-offer. He said he would just sell it at the shop. 🤷

Eloise has still been sick this week, so I gave her some more medicine Thursday, yesterday, and again today. She suggested that she was feeling better, but I’ll believe it when I see it. These things drag on forever in this game.

Tank pinged me, and then surprised me by giving me his photo! I was not expecting this! Thanks, Tank!

Tank: I'm not gonna get misty about it...but I AM gonna give you my photo!

I took Tank’s pic home and put it in my mush room. Surprisingly, I had room to place it down, even if it is in a horribly awkward spot.

His favorite quote on the back is “Remember to keep your core muscles engaged!” Yeah, we get it, you’re a jock. 😛

I found a lovely loveseat in the recycle bin at town hall. I know Bones has been asking me for lovely furniture lately, so maybe I’ll save it for him. I couldn’t get him to talk about anything other than fireworks tonight though, so that will have to wait until next week.

And speaking of the fireworks again, of course I took a few moments to watch them…and take in the atmosphere of the event. 🎆

I hope you all enjoy fireworks season in the Animal Crossing games this month! Make sure to enjoy the summer while it’s still here! 🙂
