Hamlet’s Birthday

I did a lot of fishing (in town) and bug-catching (on the island) last night. I racked up over 200,000 bells worth of catches. Depositing that money kicked my bank account balance over 71 million bells.

Your current balance is 71,080,000 bells.Today, a message on the bulletin board informed me that it was Hamlet’s birthday! When I went into his house, he told me that he didn’t expect anything from me. He hasn’t lived in town very long, and I don’t really know him very well yet.

Hamlet: I really don't expect anything.But of course, I had to give him a gift. I was planning on giving him a customized item that was sitting in Re-Tail. Unfortunately, I must have been distracted when I went in there, and I forgot to pick it up! So the only thing I had for him was a mega dinkoid I dug up out of the ground. He wasn’t exactly thrilled by it, but he didn’t seem disappointed either. He said the important thing was that he had a bro like me.

Hamlet: You know, gifts are great, but having a bro like you is the best!
d’aww

Another rodent, Agent S, was also there to help Hamlet celebrate. She thought I only came because I heard she would be there! Not true!

Agent S: Hey! It's skippy! I knew you wouldn't be able to stay away once you heard I'd be here!But I think Hamlet and Agent S both had a good time. Happy birthday, Hamlet! I hope someone got you a nice wheel to run around on!

Back outside, I got some fairly big news. Hippeux told me he was planning on moving out of town on June 4th.

Hippeux: I'm making my big exit on the 4th of next month. At least that's the plan, natch.
Hip hip hooray!

There’s been a lot of villager movement in Forest lately: Dizzy moved out, Elise moved in, Peck moved out, Hippeux moved in, Elise moved out, Hamlet moved in, and Bob moved in. And that’s just since mid-April! I’m kind of tired of the revolving door, so when Hippeux asked to move out, I had to think about it. For two seconds. But I realized that this is my chance to get rid of him. Another opportunity might not come for months. So goodbye, hippo.

My recent dream visitors have been Ben from B-Town, Naomi from Hattorf, Karen from Home, and Carry from Dopolis.

One other note: Now that my museum is complete, I’ve put together a Crazy Redd Art Guide that shows the differences between real and fake works of art. It includes side-by-side pictures, as well as a description of what to look for. Feel free to use it anytime Redd shows up in your town! And good luck with your museum progress (if you haven’t already completed it)!

Thank you for visiting the blog today! 🙂 Have a great day and please stop by again. 🙂

Museum Complete

I got the fine painting in the mail from Crazy Redd, and I quickly went up to the museum. The fine painting will always be authentic, so Blathers gladly accepted it. He then confirmed that the museum is now complete!

Blathers: Hold on! Was this possibly...? Could it perhaps be...? Has the dream finally come true?Blathers: Yes! The museum's collections are completely, thoroughly complete! Hoo! Simply stupendous!I went in to look at the new painting in the art gallery.

[Fine Painting] May 27th, 2016. Donation by Jeff.Back in town, I had another gem rock today. But I still hadn’t sold all of my ore from the last time! Pashmina came into Re-Tail, and she told me she was going to come back in a kilt!

Pashmina: Shopping here just feels so eco-friendly, I'm definitely gonna come back, in a kilt!I took a trip out to the island to catch some rays. Well, just one ray.

I caught a ray! That made my day!I caught other fish and bugs too, before returning to the mainland to sell my catches. I looked around for Phineas (wishful thinking), but no luck. I worked a shift at the Roost, and then wrapped up my night.

Have a good weekend, everyone!

Feeling Fine

Crazy Redd had a tent set up at the event plaza today, so I went inside. I was quite happy (and excited even) when I saw that he had the fine painting up for sale! If I’m not mistaken, that is the last piece of art that I need for my museum! Finally!

Redd: Whoa! I see you've got eyes for that fine painting there! I'd say it has eyes for you too!He will be shipping it to me tomorrow.

Over on my western bridge, Hamlet ordered me to catch a butterfly for him!

Hamlet: Jeff! It doesn't matter what kind. Just catch me a butterfly!Fortunately, I already had a yellow butterfly in my pockets. I gave it to him and he thanked me by giving me a skull tee.

Daisy was sitting on the town’s metal bench, and she asked me to join her.

Daisy: Why don't you sit down with me, dude?It’s not often a dog tells a human to sit! But I was happy to join her for a moment or two. I guess she has me trained pretty well.

Sitting on a bench with Daisy.Pashmina was talking about the turf wars going on in Splatoon another town, and she wanted to join in. She said she was going to move out of town on May 31st…but I told her not to go.

Pashmina: I'm leaving this month on the 31st! You'll see me around slinging some turf for practice. But then I'm out.When I saw Hamlet again, he asked me for another favor. This time, he wanted some fruit. I gave him a perfect cherry, and he loved it so much that he was making up words to describe how good it was!

Hamlet: Wowzaschnowza!He thanked me by giving me a gently used small space console. That’s a lot of adjectives there, buddy. At least none of them were made-up words like wowzaschnowza.

Hamlet: Here you go! It's a gently used small space console! Enjoy!

At the Dream Suite, Luna told me that Valeria from Corazón was my most recent dream visitor. Thanks for stopping by! I’ll be back with another entry tomorrow!
