Today was the day of the Bug-Off competition. Because of that fact, Brewster wouldn’t let me work at the Roost today. But outside of the cafe, I saw Rolf walk up to a bug on a tree with his net drawn. He actually stood there in this position for several seconds without moving.
To my surprise, he eventually did swing the net. He missed the bug of course, but it was nice to see the attempt.
Nearby, I saw Phineas! He brought me my tenth badge, the Good Host badge for having lots of visitors to my town.
My town tree told me that I’ve had 54 visitors so far, so apparently it takes 50 to get the Good Host badge. Interestingly enough, beating all of your visitors with a toy hammer doesn’t hurt your chances of being considered a good host. 😉
After that, I decided to try catching some bugs for the Bug-Off. I caught a Miyamoto miyama stag, which gave me the lead with Nintendo 64 points. Nat took it and gave me a wooden box as a reward.
As I continued my walk around town, I saw my first Jacob’s ladder! It was next to my pyramid.
I took my daily fossils up to Blathers, and for once, I had a new one! It completed the archelon.
I looked around saw that I only need two more fossils to complete my collection.
In the garden shop part of T.I.Y., I bought some flower seeds (as I usually do), and Leif told me I get a happy bonus today!
It’s a silver watering can! It can water five squares at once. This will definitely come in handy.
After that, I resumed my bug hunt. I caught a jewel beetle and took it to Nat. It was good for 80 points, which broke my own record. He rewarded me with a butterfly wall. Unfortunately, it’s pretty ugly. I couldn’t bear to open my eyes to look at it.
I also caught a cyclommatus stag, but I didn’t want to give it to Nat unless I had to. So I waited until 5:59, and saw that my jewel beetle still was the record-holder. So I hung on to my cyclommatus stag, and went into Nat’s tent for the awards ceremony. Yay, first place!
After that, I decided to visit Club Tortimer. The first island I visited had nobody there but me. So I went back and tried again; this time, there was someone named Jo from the U.K. We caught some bugs and fish, and did some diving. But after 15 minutes or so, I had to go, so I said goodbye.
That’s all for today, but I’ll be back tomorrow with some Wi-Fi fun. Remember, I’ll be opening my gate at 7:00 p.m. London time. I hope some of the Europeans on my roster are able to make it.
I worked a shift at the cafe and earned some superb coffee beans. Brewster also gave me a third gyroid, the mini brewstoid. In this picture, it’s the small one on the right.
And as I made my way around town, I reached the northeast corner of town, where I usually backtrack to get to my bridge. And then I saw it. Yes, my brick bridge is done!
This provides a nice shortcut and it’s quite helpful. And soon after crossing, I saw Katt, who asked me for an ocean fish. I was glad to help! No, really! I caught a wonderful ocean fish just for her!
Tabby approached me, so I had to talk to her. (Eventually, she’s going to have to move out, right? Right?!) Unfortunately, that discussion didn’t happen today. But she did suggest a new town project: an illuminated heart. Wendy has an illuminated heart (you can see an animated pic on my 
I then went into town hall to trigger the completion ceremony for the brick bridge. Even though you have the option not to attend the ceremonies, they’re quick and fun, and I haven’t turned one down yet.
I then returned back to town hall to check my town status. Wait, what is this? Can it be? Forest has achieved perfect town status?!
Woohoo!
Isabelle said that nobody wants to move out of a perfect town, which is a scary thought. I don’t want to be stuck with Tabby, Katt, Rory, and Tex forever! But I’m sure it’s just hyperbole; at least I hope so. Otherwise, I’d have to start trashing my town! 😛
And now that I have a third bridge, this is my current town map:
After that, I made my way up to Main Street. T.I.Y. had a cool stained glass for sale. I bought it.
I put it in my house, but it doesn’t look real great if you put it over an existing window. Part of the old window is still visible, so it may look best on an empty wall (even though you won’t get sun shining through it that way).
After that, I saved my game. But I started the game up again at 10:00 for Friday Night Forest. Dash, Daisy, and Wendy came over to visit.
We did some dancing at Club LOL and then went to my house. Wendy gave me a free harp, no strings attached.
And we spun my colorful wheel, with each of us saying the number it landed on. Clearly, everyone sees something different.
Everyone had nice custom outfits except me.
After we were done in my house, we went to the island.
After catching some fish and bugs, we went on a tour (to save our game). We did the firefly tour, which I don’t recall playing before.
Wendy won that tour, but we also did a hammer tour, which I won. We did another round of catching fish and bugs before returning to Forest. Dash left once we returned. Nick ended up coming in to take his spot. But Nick didn’t stick around too long. After he left, Wendy reminded me to try 
Daisy and I were taking turns, trying to get either of us onto the tracks also, but we weren’t having any luck. But then Joey came in. With his help, he was able to get me onto the train tracks as well!
Joey left, and I ended the party shortly after 1:00. I had a fun night, and I got a lot done today too–namely achieving perfect town status. Good day.
It was a beautiful day outside, and Benedict suggested a new town project: a caution sign!
I admit, it would be funny to put it outside of Tabby’s house or Katt’s house. But I’m hoping those two animals don’t stick around my town very long, so it would probably end up being a waste of 43,500 bells.
I went to work at the cafe, and for the first time, I got everyone’s order completely perfect!
Unfortunately, nothing special happens if you get all four customers’ orders perfect. You still get the superb coffee beans of course, but you don’t have to be perfect to get that.
But I went inside, and I was not impressed. She used a modern wood wall and a sandlot for the floor.
Even though I like the modern wood furniture, I think the wallpaper is ugly. I would grow board of it very quickly.
I had most of the money for it, but I still needed about 20,000 bells more. So I did some fishing, both in town and on the island. I caught three new fish I needed for the museum: a nibble fish, a gar, and this ray:
When I was done fishing, I had earned more than enough money to finish paying off the bridge. It will be complete tomorrow.
