Hyperpop Girl

Yesterday, Wolfgang said he wasn’t good at giving compliments, but he tried to give me one anyway.

Wolfgang: You're so full of trendy style, it's practically oozing out of your ears!
Not true, but…thanks?

ProTip: Compliments rarely contain the word “oozing.”

A new message was posted to the bulletin board, and it was about how even chatty people are quiet in elevators. Well, most of them…

-Talking to Myself- It's odd how even the chattiest people get quiet in elevators! Except for my sister...

Dotty was still sick with a cold, and I asked if she needed medicine. She freaked out and called me a mean old liar! Just for that, I didn’t buy her any.

Dotty: You don't have medicine! LIAR! MEAN OLD LIAR! ...Oooh, I'm gonna be sick... BLARRG!

Today is the first of September, and salmon can now be found in the river (and king salmon at the mouth of the river). The big fish shadows always make me think I’ve found something super valuable, so it’s a bit disappointing to keep pulling these up. 😛

Woo hoo! I caught a king salmon!

Peanut said she was going to give me the latest single from Hyperpop Girl, which she said was blazing the charts.

Peanut: Hyperpop Girl's new single just went platinum!

But then she realized she didn’t have the right one after all, so she didn’t give me anything. 😛

Dotty wasn’t rude to me today, so I gave her medicine this time.

Caroline asked me to make a delivery to Eloise, so I took over a checkered shirt. Eloise liked it, and she said that Caroline has some good taste, despite her tacky exterior. 😆

Eloise: Underneath that tacky exterior, Caroline had some crazy good taste.

Caroline rewarded me with 510 bells. (Of course.)

After selling today’s fossils (and some other things), I was able to boost my bank account balance up to nine million bells.

Pelly: The current bell balance is 9,000,000.

If you didn’t see my latest Wild World video, it’s a bit different. It’s a collection of special characters’ funny quotes taken out of context. Check it out!

Got the Jitters

On Wednesday, I received this letter from Mom. It’s about the sounds of summer…and Dad.

Dear Jeff, There's a jam session tonight with frogs and your snoring dad on bass, and bugs on percussion. I can't sleep... -Mom

Today, Goose’s replacement moved in: It’s Jitters the green bird. He looks like he just drank 15 cups of coffee. (And that might explain his jitters.)

Jitters: So you're telling me... they call you Jeff? Really, bzzert?

Dotty has still been sick with a cold, so I gave her some more medicine Wednesday, and again today.

Dotty: M-medicine...??

Saharah was in town, so I helped her out by delivering some wallpaper for Phyllis and Mabel. While I was in Able Sisters, I bought myself a dawn shirt. And since Wolfgang had been asking me for new clothing, I gave him my old racer shirt.

Wolfgang: Not bad... Not bad at all! You've got a good eye for style, kid.

He rewarded me with a puffy hat, which I tried on briefly. I’m not a fan.

When I returned to Saharah, she had a third job for me. She asked me to deliver some carpeting to Blathers…even though we were standing right outside the door to the museum. 😛

Saharah: I have the next one here. Please take it to Blathers.

After I stepped inside and made the delivery, Saharah ultimately rewarded me with a Saharah’s desert carpet.

Morbid Peanut

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

Yo, yo, yo, Jeff! I'm moving! Man, we had a great time chillin' in Forest! I'll think of you when I pump mad iron! Later, yo! -Goose

Even though the UFO didn’t come at the first two opportunities, it surprised me with a visit after I came out of Nook’s shop! Despite not being prepared for it, I was able to chase it down and shoot it out of the sky.

Site of the UFO's crash landing, with Gulliver lying unconscious on the ground.

After I recovered Gulliver’s UFO parts for him, he rewarded me with a mermaid statue. I already had one, so I didn’t need it.

Today, Tom Nook gave me a stomach update.

Tom Nook: I think I may have eaten something that disagreed with me, yes?

Actually he was just continuing his discussion about his previous life in the city, and the bitter memories that were upsetting him. It was about him being unprepared for life in the city, where he kept making errors and lost everything he had.

Wolfgang asked me if I’d rather eat mousse or fish and chips, but before I could answer, he told me that he hates them both.

Wolfgang: Huh? Me? Well, actually... I hate them both! G is for gross, snarrrl!
Who said anything about “G?”

There was another fireworks festival underway, and Peanut said that it would soon be reduced to memories of smoke and ash. And then she started talking about…her own death?

Peanut: I hope people remember me once I'm gone, too... Wow, that's TOTALLY morbid...

And Eloise said she’d like to look down on the fireworks from above.

Eloise: Just once, I'd like to be able to look down on the fireworks exploding!

Sure, why not? She looks down on everybody else. 😆

At the Roost, K.K. Slider sang me a lullaby. And I think it worked, because I ended up taking a nap after I was done playing. 😆

K.K.: All right, get ready to dig the riffs on this ditty: K.K. Lullaby!

Dotty was sick with a cold tonight, so I gave her some medicine.

Goose’s replacement has not moved in yet, but that will surely happen next week. See you then!
