Bug-Off Competition

Late last night, Wendy got to visit her own island for the first time. She invited me to come along with her, so I did. After some bad haircuts yesterday, we were wearing blue Pikmin hats to cover up.

Two blue Pikmin ride Kapp'n's boat out to the island.We were doing a lot of swimming and diving, and I caught this ugly creature: a giant isopod.

I caught a giant isopod! That's a horror if ever one existed!And on more than one occasion, we had to flee from an attacking jellyfish!

Jeff and Wendy, both dressed as blue Pikmin, fleeing from a jellyfish.We stayed on the island a long time, but we eventually returned to Oakville. In Wendy’s house, we discovered that while sitting in a chair, you can move around a bit. It makes a “whoop” sound effect and we kept doing it and cracking ourselves up.

Wendy "whooping" in a chair.I offered to let her use my wet suit overnight, but I had to give her a warning about it…

Jeff: I peed in it.And of course, I continued using my toy hammer on her.

Nat: Well then, I've got a special prize for you. It's a rather smashing caterpillar sofa!This is what it looks like:

The caterpillar sofa I got from Nat, on display in my house.I also saw Phineas in town today. He gave me a Seafood Maniac badge for finding many things while diving.

I got the Seafood Maniac badge! I've found so many different things under the sea!^I literally had to take that picture four times because I kept blinking. This game has too much blinking! But Phineas wasn’t done with me; he also gave me a badge for playing a lot!

I got the Village Representative badge! This is my prize for playing a lot!I then took some fruit to Shrunk, and he taught me the distress emotion. It now appears that I have half of the emotions in the game.

Shrunk: "Congrats! I feel like such a lucky guy! Of all the fish in the sea, I somehow caught a whale!"I also stopped at the cafe for some coffee. While there, I saw KK enjoying some coffee as well. Well technically, he was called “DJ KK” now. “Villager Jeff” isn’t so sure he approves.

DJ KK: Hmmm... I'm feeling a groovy riff. Could be a hit, so don't throw a fit...Brewster told me that starting tomorrow, I can get coffee to-go by ordering from the counter on the right.

Brewster: You can make use of...the counter on the right, if you like... I offer takeout coffee there...After 6:00, I went into Nat’s tent for the Bug-Off results ceremony. My bug remained in first place, and I won the competition! Big Top came in 2nd place, and Katt finished third.

Jeff stands atop the Bug-Off winners' podium. Big Top stands in 2nd place and Katt stands in 3rd.At 8:00, I was going to play with Ness/Bushido, but he kept getting error messages when trying to visit Forest. He’s going to try adjusting his router settings to get things to work, but he didn’t want to fool with it today. But I decided to open my gate anyway. So Wendy and Rae came over to play.

K.K. Slider performs for a full house.We hung out in the museum for a while and then spent some time at the cafe. The waiter never came out to serve us! What lousy service!

Four of us sitting in the cafe.We also did the chair “whooping” thing, which was good for some more laughs.

Tabby was hiding indoors again today, so I went to check out her house. She has a wall-mounted fan that’s really cool. It’s so high up that your character has to literally jump to turn it on or off. This was another surprisingly amusing thing to do.

Me jumping up to turn Tabby's fan on and off.We then headed out to the island for some fishing, bug-catching, and swimming.

Kapp'n, singing: Ya best be sure, sneakin' up on a friend, it really be yer friend, not some random schmoe.After a short while, I ended the party for the night. Thanks for coming, Wendy, Rae, and Joey! I had a good time!

I’ll be back tomorrow night with another update, so I hope to see you all then. Enjoy your weekend!
