Goodbye Gladys

When I went in to visit Gladys today, I was surprised to see that she was all packed up and ready to move out! That was quick! She just moved in one month ago (to the day).

Gladys: I think you can tell by looking, but I've decided to move out of Forest for good, stretch.Alfonso was sick with a cold, so I bought some medicine to help him feel better. I guess you could call it Gator Aid.

Alfonso flips in the air as he takes his medicine.Static was talking about red turnips today…I had completely forgotten red turnips were a thing! Not that I ever bought any.

Static: I raise red turnips for pickling, but, man, look away for five seconds and they start dying!And of course, it’s Saturday night, so I headed to the Roost for some live music. K.K. then performed K.K. Technopop for me.

K.K.: All right, get ready to dig the riffs on this ditty: K.K. Technopop.Tomorrow night is the 4th fireworks festival (of five). I plan on attending one of them, but it may not be tomorrow. If not, I’ll definitely attend next Sunday.

Seeking Old Wallpaper

As expected, Nat sent me a bug trophy in the mail as my reward for winning the Bug-Off. I had no need for it, so I promptly sold it. 😛

Saharah was in town today, looking for old wallpaper. In fact, she was the reason I’m writing this blog entry today instead of tomorrow. I still need a number of her items, so I’ll often start up City Folk to see if she’s in town. If so, I’ll keep playing and write a blog entry. If not, I’ll wait until my usual-ish days, which tend to be Wednesdays and Saturdays.

Saharah: I came from far away. I wish to trade wallpaper. It is for wallpaper that I came to your town today.So I began asking around for wallpaper. Static had no interest in helping me out. He even used an excuse about not having any pets or kids! I’ve never heard of a squirrel that has pets.

Static: Nah, I don't have any pets or kids, so my furnishings usually last. Good luck, though, toasty.Kitt was creeping around outside of Cousteau’s house for some reason. When I caught her, she bribed me with an old wallpaper. So I won’t mention it to Cousteau…this time.

Kitt: That's fine! You're really welcome to my old one. It's not like I need it for anything!Twiggy, however, wasn’t as cooperative. She just wanted to make jokes, asking if I needed old wallpaper because I bought an old wall. She even thought her joke was so funny that she told me to retweet it!

Twiggy: Old wallpaper? Why, did you buy an old wall? Tee hee, retweet me! Teeeeee hee hee hee!Friga was the only other villager to give me old wallpaper. Fortunately, I had one in storage to take to Saharah in addition to the two from Kitt and Friga. In return, Saharah gave me a tropical vista.

Saharah: Here...a tropical vista. Very exotic... Treasure it. It is a very rare thing.The tropical vista is definitely an attractive wallpaper. But unfortunately, it’s not one that I needed.

August Bug-Off

Broccolo told me he was having bad dreams last night. He blamed them on some iced tea he drank. Come on, mouse, you and I both know it wasn’t iced tea in your cup.

Broccolo: Drinking iced tea late at night always gives me the craziest dreams, toasty!The Bug-Off insect-catching competition was held today, so I kept my eyes open for rare bugs while making my rounds. I spotted a rainbow stag, and I knew I had to catch it!

I caught a rainbow stag! Someone tell me, already! Where's the rainbow?!I took it to Nat, the judge of the Bug-Off, and he examined it and said it scored 84 points. That took over the top spot. Nat rewarded me with an exotic chair.

Nat: Sweet buttery monarchy! However did you manage to find a rainbow stag? It's RARER than rare!I took a little nap, and then returned to the game after 6:00 when the competition was over. Nobody topped my 84-point rainbow stag, so I was the official winner of the Bug-Off.

Nat: A 84-point rainbow stag. By the king's crown! It seems that YOU caught this one!Nat said that he’ll send me my prize (the trophy) in the mail. I celebrated my win by popping off a couple of my party poppers that have been sitting there since New Year’s Eve.
