Pressure Point

On Sunday (November 10th), Hornsby asked me to dig up his time capsule for him.

Look! I dug up a time capsule!

I took it back to him, and he found his kung-fu tee inside…which he then gave to me. I’m not usually fond of clothes as rewards, but this shirt really packs a punch. 😉

Hornsby: Yeah! My kung-fu tee, aged to perfection!

I was finding a lot of dandelion puffs around town, so I wanted to try something. I picked up five of them, and then went by my statue fountain. I blew them all. Away.

The next day, I found three new dandelions. These things are immortal!

I blew the seeds away, thinking I had won the fight.
But they came back with a fury, and just overnight

Yesterday, Aurora was talking about gardening. She said she has to get her hands all grubby to do it right. 😆

Aurora: Hee hee! Sometimes you just have to do a little gardening and get your hands all grubby.
Good luck with the gardening, Aurora! I’m rooting for you!

Jeremiah gave me a cheese floor, saying he thought of me as soon as he saw it!

Jeremiah: Since you're always helping me out, I got you a little present. It's a cheese floor!

So you’re saying I’m cheesy? You may have a sharp wit, but you should brie grate-ful that I have a gouda sense of humor about it!

Friga the penguin was camping at the campsite. I don’t mind if she chills here for a day, but I don’t need her moving in. I already have two penguins, and that’s enough. I don’t need a whole penguin colony in Forest!

Friga, at the campsite: Hey there, I'm Friga. I'm just in Forest camping for a little while.

Speaking of penguins, Cube seemed to be listening in as Aurora gave me a new nickname: Cupcake.

Aurora: Great! So from now on, I'll call you cupcake!

Today, Gulliver was down on the beach, talking about geoglyphs and alpacas. So I knew he was headed to Peru.

Gulliver: The country I was headed to has huge pictures drawn right on the ground called geoglyphs.

If he misses out on seeing the geoglyphs, I guess he’ll just have to draw his own conclusions. Or just alpaca his bags for the next trip. 😉

But anyway, he’ll be sending a gift in the mail tomorrow. Just as a reminder, I do have a Gulliver Guide if you ever get stumped by one of his clues!

I listened in on a conversation between Mira and Aurora, and Aurora was crying! Mira told her to get a hold of herself, and I wasn’t sure what was going on.

Mira: Hey! Take it easy! Get a hold of yourself, Aurora! People are gonna think I'm bullying you!

When Mira noticed me, she told me to get out of here! How rude!

Mira: Dude! This isn't a show! Get out of here!

But then Aurora explained why she had been crying. Mira taught her a massage pressure point, and it hurt when she pushed it.

Aurora: Mira taught me a massage pressure point, and it hurt so much when I pushed it...

Mira said she couldn’t tell if Aurora was brave, or if she was being a baby. I think Mira is still pushing all the wrong buttons.

Mira: I can't tell if you're brave or a baby! I hopped!

After the conversation ended, I spoke with Mira again. She asked me to play a game of hide-and-seek, and I agreed. She gave me ten minutes to find her, Aurora, and Hornsby. I found Aurora so quickly that the game starting banner was still on-screen.

Aurora: Hey! How did you know where I was?!

And just a few seconds later, I also found Mira nearby.

Mira: Waaah! You scared me!

Even though it took me another minute or so to find Hornsby, I still won the game in under two minutes. That was a quick win! Mira rewarded me with a modern wood sofa.

Mira: Heh heh! Here you go! It's a sweet modern wood sofa!

I could’ve spent eight minutes sitting on the sofa and still found all of you in time. 😛

See you all next time!
