A Fish Called Frog

Yesterday, I went over to the Happy Room Academy headquarters in the city. Lyle told me that my current house score is 113,873 points. He also talked about my harvest festival room, which is the current model room…and the highest-scoring room. But despite that…he wasn’t a fan of the turkey stuff. 😛

Lyle: Not really Lyle's taste. Not that you care. Buncha turkeys? Feathers and junk? What they hey, right?

Felicity asked me for a new catchphrase, and I told her to say “it’s green.” Hopefully it will pay off at some point.

Felicity: Yessss! I can feel a new flame burning inside me! It's green! It's green!

Today, Apollo was telling me about the benefits of daytime naps. Sounds good to me too!

Apollo: I've been a firm believer in midday naps all my life.

When I visited Tiffany, I was surprised to see that she was already packed up to leave town!

Tiffany: Well...you're right on time, aren't you? To see me all sweaty and gross!

And I’m not bothered by that one bit. Not only is she my least favorite (current) villager in town, but her house is practically right on the beach. I prefer if those spots can be empty in summer, so they don’t obstruct my view for summer bug hunts. Bye, Tiffany!

Scoot asked me if I’ve heard of a fish called a frog. 😆 You mean like the one on the shirt you wear half the time?

Scoot: Yo, J-boo! You ever hear of a fish called a frog?
Amphibian, but yes, I’m vaguely familiar with frogs. 🐸

It didn’t take me long to find one, but Scoot didn’t entirely seem convinced that the frog I caught was real! He asked if it was rubber or something!

Scoot: A frog! Is this for real, J-boo? It isn't like rubber or anything?

But he still accepted the frog, and he rewarded me with a screen.

Cube asked if I had just eaten waffles, and I said no. He acted surprised because he said I’m a “waffler.” 🧇 I think I’m insulted by that.

Cube: I was sure that a waffler like you'd be chowing down on 'em morning, noon, and night...

Over at town hall, I found a white boom box in the gray recycle box. 😛

Rare Candle?

Saturday nights are K.K. Slider’s concert nights, and Rosie was looking forward to the show. She even said she’s going to bat her eyes at him until he plays her request. 😆

Rosie: Today is the day! I can feel it. I'm gonna bat my eyes at K.K. Slider until he, like, plays my request!
I don’t think batting your eyes is a requirement for that. 😛

I headed over to the Roost to check the show out for myself. I asked for a random song, and he performed “K.K. Lullaby” for me.

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

After the show, Felicity asked me to make a delivery for her (because she was swamped). So I took it (a green rug) over to Tiffany, and the gift was well-received. When I returned to Felicity, she rewarded me with a cabana lamp. She even compared her gratitude to a pile of mashed potatoes that reached to the sky. A bit odd, but you’re welcome, Felicity. 😛

Felicity: If my gratitude was a pile of mashed potatoes, it would reach TO THE SKY, J-love!

I took the bus out to the city, and I saw Peanut there. She was wondering if she had enough bells to get her fortune told…so she could learn something about her love. 😆

Peanut: Eeeek! I, like, HAVE to get my fortune told! I wonder if I have enough money?
Peanut, quietly: Surely it will reveal something about my... ♥

In Redd’s shop, he tried to sell me on his “rare” candle.

Redd: Oh, ho ho! Did my rare candle catch your discerning eye?

He was asking 2,560 bells for it, but I’m too bright to fall for that one. 🕯️

Shark season starts Monday! See you next week!

Wasted Time and Motion

It was raining in Forest today, and Antonio told me I can’t let the rain keep me in. He said I gotta go out and “rock it,” even if I get wet…up his nose. I think I need to change his catchphrase at this point. I don’t need to picture the inside of his nose every time I play. 😆

Antonio: You can't let the rain keep you in. You gotta go out and rock it even if you get wet, up my nose!

Rosie told me that she was planning on moving out of town, but I told her to stay. She said she was still going to leave, but she might change her mind if I keep being nice to her.

Rosie: Hmmm... Maybe you should keep being nice to me, cat. I might change my mind again.

I think I remember dealing with this peppy dialogue before. Despite how it sounds, I think this means she has already decided to stay. I still chatted with her another handful of times later on in my session (just in case), and she didn’t mention moving again. So I think she’s safe, for now.

Sydney was sick with a cold today, so I gave her some medicine I had with me. She didn’t start feeling any better just yet, though.

When I ran into Rosie again, she was talking about the flea market that’s coming up tomorrow. She said that last time, she missed out on all the good stuff. So this time, she’s going to plan things out more efficiently. Good luck with that, Rosie.

Rosie: There must be minimal wasted time and motion, cat!
This quote is about finding better junk at the flea market, but it sounds so much more profound out of context.

I played again tonight, and I headed over to the Roost for K.K. Slider’s Saturday night show. He performed “K.K. Steppe” for me.

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

I got to see the inside of Apollo’s house now that he has unpacked. He has some modern furniture (but not the modern wall/floor) and a couple of chess knights.

The inside of Apollo's house in Animal Crossing: City Folk for Nintendo Wii.

I went on a fruit-gathering run and I kept going until I had enough bells to hit a new savings milestone: 77 million bells.

Your current balance is 77,000,000 bells.

See you next week!
