I listened in on a conversation between Harry and Grizzly today, and they said it looked like they were hatching an evil plan every time they talk. 😄

They said even though it was a joke initially, they felt like they really should become supervillains. They even practiced their “villain laugh.”

Immediately after their conversation ended, Harry asked me for a new catchphrase to replace “honeybun.” Yeah, I guess villains can’t go around saying “honeybun.” So I told him to say “I’m evil.” 😛

At Nook ‘n’ Go, Tom Nook was selling a lot of green furniture today. It must’ve been a special Green Day sale. 😛

Goldie was sick with a cold, so I gave her some medicine. Get well soon, Goldie!

In the city, Crazy Redd was ready for the summer heat; he was selling a backyard pool. I really like the way it looks in this game: The water looks so sparkly and inviting.

July is here, and that means it’s prime bug-hunting season! I didn’t do any bug hunting just yet, but I’m sure I’ll get that started one night soon. 🙂

I started today with 55.4 million bells in savings. I’m going to set myself a goal of two million bells for the summer, just like I have the past few years. So I want my balance to be (at least) at 57.5 million bells by September 1st. That shouldn’t be too hard, considering how much I enjoy my late-night summer bug hunts.

Good luck if you’ll be out there hunting bugs too! 🙂 I’ll see you next time!

Boomer’s replacement moved in today, and I was a bit surprised to see that it was Marcel the mime dog (again).

Marcel lived in Forest just last year, and he moved out last August. That’s less than a year, and he’s back already. That makes him the 2nd villager to leave in 2022, and return in 2023! (Goldie was the other one.) This sort of thing never used to happen, and now it’s happened twice in the past month. Weird.

Saharah was in town today, looking for old carpets. Grizzly was talking about her, and he even called her an oddball. 😛

I started asking around, and my old friend Tom (the cat, not the raccoon) was the only one to give me some old carpet. Thanks, Tom!

Fortunately, I had two others saved in storage. So I grabbed them all and started looking for Saharah. I was wondering if maybe this would be the time I would finally get the lunar surface, which Saharah still has not given me even once in 14.5 years. But it wasn’t meant to be: She took my three old carpets and just gave me a tatami instead.

It’s just frustrating that I haven’t been able to make a proper space room in this game in 14+ years.

Down by the beach, I caught my first shark of the season. 😎 I love how big the shark shadows look in this game. And the fins are so prominent compared to how they look in New Horizons, too.

My recent video “If Animal Crossing was Narrated by Zelda TotK Characters” has a couple of short ACCF clips in it, even though it’s mostly New Horizons. But I hope you’ll check it out if you haven’t seen it yet: Link

On Thursday, I received Boomer’s goodbye letter in the mail.

The door to the Resetti Surveillance Center was open in the city, so I dropped in for a visit. Resetti wasn’t around, but Don was talking about how Resetti likes scalding hot baths. He even said he tried to join in Resetti’s bath, but it was too hot for him. Um, okay…

Tonight, Harry was sick with a cold, and I generously gave him some medicine.

I spoke with Nat outside of town hall. The Bug-Off was held today, but of course I played too late to participate. Nat informed me that Goldie won the competition by catching a 55-point diving beetle. Congrats to Goldie!

I went over to the Roost, and K.K. Slider performed K.K. Faire for me. I always enjoy that song, even if I did just hear it in Wild World last weekend.
