It was storming in Forest tonight. In the mail, I received a flame shirt I had ordered from Nook.

I put the shirt on, walked around town, and saw a yellow tent. This weekend’s summer camper is Rasher. He wasn’t exactly happy to see me.

I played his games until I ran out of money and furniture. I continued my journey around town, pulling weeds, and talking to animals. I also went in the lost and found to snatch up all the furniture I could.

I returned to the tent to play some more games. There is a particular item I was trying for. I needed three of them, but I only got one.

When I ran out of items again, I went to my house and worked on redecorating a little bit. I then went up near the train station to watch K.K. perform. I let him pick a random song and he chose K.K. Casbah.

Unlike in City Folk, K.K. sings right in your face on GameCube. But you’ve got to give him credit for performing in the pouring rain and lightning.

After K.K.’s performance was over, I headed for home.

I checked my mail and saw that I got a goodbye letter from Tutu.

Tortimer was out and about for the fishing tournament. He was being rather bossy, telling me I had to participate. Who does he think he is, the mayor or something? Oh wait…

But I didn’t want to fish right then, because there was a summer camper in town! This is the first weekend of summer campers, so I went in the tent. Samson was this week’s camper. I played one of his games, but it didn’t go so well.

Still, I kept playing his games for a while. I did eventually get one camper-exclusive item, a bonfire.

I then went to the lake to check out the fishing tournament.

I caught one bass to give to Chip.

But it was only 17 inches, and Puck had already caught an 18-incher.

I gave it a couple more tries, but didn’t catch any more bass, so I gave up on it for the day. I went on a walk around town, pulling weeds and talking to animals. Kody asked me for a new catchphrase and I taught him to say “I’m blue.” Then I talked to him again, and he said he painted my roof. That’s good, because I wanted to get rid of that white roof anyway.

I also met my new neighbor, Marcy the kangaroo.

After that, I worked on my house a little. I have an idea on what to do for my (almost) annual house redecorating, but I need a few more items first. Some can be ordered, but others are harder to come by.

It was raining again in Forest today. I went to Nook’s and bought a satellite.

I talked to Tom and he told me that he always looks forward to the fishing tournaments in June.

I also talked to Copper, as Tom was blatantly eavesdropping in the background. Copper told me Wendell would be in town tomorrow.

I stopped by the post office and the dump on my way home. I noticed that at some point, someone must have painted my roof white. I don’t even remember when it happened, but it doesn’t look good. I’ll have to remember to buy some paint for it next time.
