Country Guitar

Saharah was in town last Friday. I helped her out by making deliveries to Blathers, Pelly, and Mabel.

Pelly: Oh! It's the item I ordered from Saharah! It's finally arrived! Yippee!

Saharah offered me a meadow vista or a western desert as my reward; I chose the former.

Today, Rolf had something surprising to say about Tom Nook: He said Tom Nook reminds him of a dog! He just had trouble pinpointing why or how.

Rolf, talking about Tom Nook: No, I mean, it's not that I think he's gonna steal my food or lick my face...

Speaking of dogs, Goldie has still been sick lately. So I gave her some medicine on Friday, and then again today.

For reasons I don’t understand, Peanut greeted me in a very odd way today. She said I was like a big stick of happy TNT!

Peanut: Jumpin' jelly beans! Sunshine, you're like a big stick of happy TNT!
Oh, is there such a thing?

She was actually asking to have a fishing competition to see who could catch a frog first. Since frogs aren’t that hard to find (and you can tell by their croaking if a shadow in a pond is a frog or not), I agreed to the challenge.

A few minutes later, I caught a frog and gave it to Peanut. She confirmed that I won, but I thought it was funny the way she was holding the frog. It was just sitting there motionless, with its legs fully outstretched, like it was playing dead. 😂

Peanut: You got it already?! Y-you mean... I lose, slacker?
I think you’re the slacker. No offense.

She gave me a regal carpet as my prize for winning.

For the first time in almost two months, Wendell was in town! I gave him a red turnip that I’ve been saving for him, and he gave me a country guitar (not a turban this time)!

Wendell: Tuh-to show you how much I appreciated that, have a country guitar!

So I took it in my house to take a look at it, but it looks exactly like you’d expect. No surprises here. 😛

The country guitar.

But the good thing about it is that I can give it to K.K. Slider to get his picture on Saturday night. And that’s exactly what I plan on doing. So I’ll be back with another entry then, if not before.

Bucket To Go

On Monday, Big Top told me that he went to another town, and he took a bucket with him. He said it was his first time in a taxi.

Big Top: I went to a nearby town, with my bucket at my side.
I’d hate to be that taxi driver if you… uh… filled up the bucket en route.

Today… Peanut had an odd request for me: She wanted a sea bass!

Peanut: OMIGOSH! I gotta have one!! I TOTALLY need a sea bass...

Well, to be more specific, she wanted to have a competition to see who could catch a sea bass first. I was up to the challenge, and I returned with a sea bass just four minutes later. She initially seemed disappointed that I won, but she ultimately rewarded me with a library wall as my prize.

Gracie was in town, so I took her quiz and earned myself another Fashionista badge. I paid her 5,000 bells for some new clothing, and she gave me a funky dot shirt.

Gracie: Ready...and GO!

I didn’t care much for the shirt. So when Samson asked me for some new clothes to soak up some sweat, I gave the shirt to him. He actually loved it, and he rewarded me with some tiny shades…that didn’t look very tiny. 😛

Samson: Some tiny shades! Bam! Aren't you stoked, villain?!

Goldie has been sick since last Friday. I gave her medicine on Friday, Monday, and then again today.

I’ll see you all next time! I’m not sure when that will be, though; Pascal is taking his good old time in showing up.

Mosquito Problems

On Monday evening, I saw a shark in the ocean. But there was a mosquito buzzing around, so I stood there, waiting for it to bite me. But there was one problem with that strategy: it didn’t bite me! I waited a good 25 seconds, and it would circle around me, but didn’t bite. 🦟

So instead, I tried to lure it away from the area. Once it was out of the area, I quickly walked back to the shark and cast my rod. The shark took notice and started to nibble. But meanwhile, the mosquito was racing back towards me. Once it got close, it bit me immediately, scaring the shark away. Why was it suddenly so impatient once I was about to catch a shark? It’s maddening.

I got bit by a mosquito! So...very...ITCHY!

I gave Peanut some more medicine last Friday and then again on Monday. By Wednesday, she was over her cold. She gave me some checkered tile for helping her out.

Peanut: It's all because of your medicine, sunshine! You are so crazy nice!

Olivia asked me for a new greeting, so I told her to say “in my litterbox.”

Olivia: In my litterbox, huh... OK, thanks... I'll be sure to try it out, woof.

Today, I shot down another UFO. Gulliver looks as if he crashed into an apple tree head-first! That’s got to hurt!

Gulliver: Mnnuh? What's that? You fool!

I gathered up his five UFO parts and returned them to him. In return, he gave me a matryoshka. I put it in my room on the left, which is still mostly filled with hybrid flowers.

Sitting on my Nintendo bench next to my new matryoshka from Gulliver.

Bunnie was packed up and ready to move out, but I convinced her to stay.

I caught a shark today, so that made me feel a bit better about the one that got away on Monday.

I caught a shark! It was a shark attack!

It has been weeks since I got my scallop from Tortimer, and there still has been no sign of Pascal. If he shows up tomorrow, I’ll be sure to post another entry. Otherwise, I’ll be back next week.
