On Tuesday, Goldie again wanted to move out of town. I got her to reconsider.

Whitney was looking for some new furniture, and she said she wasn’t picky. As long as it was something ranch, she said it would satisfy her. Nook ‘n’ Go had a covered wagon for sale, and that certainly sounded ranch to me. It cost 3,040 bells, but I can be nice to my villagers sometimes (contrary to public opinion). 😛 So I took it over to Whitney, and she seemed confused.

You guessed it: She didn’t think it was ranch style. Ugh.

During a trip into the city, I saw that Crazy Redd had a ranch chair for sale. Now a ranch chair has to be ranch, right? I bought it, even though it cost 2,800 bells. I took it to Whitney, and this time, she was happy with the gift. But her reward for me was just 728 bells…after I spent around 6,000 bells on her. What a waste.

Roald asked me to buy his boxing mat, because he needed money to beef up his toothpick collection. Since I just spent all that money on Whitney, I turned down Roald’s offer.

I got my net out and started hunting for valuable bugs. At one point, I caught a golden stag, while standing right next to Goldie. I made about 170,000 bells in just under an hour.

I played again tonight, and Puck asked if I had just pigged out on a bunch of veggies. I said yes (even though it wasn’t true), and he told me that his “honker” is never wrong.

I shot down a balloon present and found a green pipe inside.

After making my rounds, I did a little more bug-hunting. I wasn’t having as much luck as I did on Tuesday, so I didn’t play quite as long. But I still earned about 60,000 bells on the night.

I spotted a tarantula on the beach tonight, right along the water’s edge.

I got my net out and walked towards it. Right as I swung my net, the tarantula sidestepped into the ocean, never to be seen again. It was so close to where my net landed, that I felt robbed.

When I visited Static, he said that Roald and Puck are so close to each other that they act like family. Then he wondered if they could be related, since they look so much alike. That’s actually true, they do look alike! I think Static just randomly stumbled onto the truth.

Speaking of Puck, he asked me for some of my clothes. I didn’t have a spare outfit with me, but I bought a “U R here” shirt for him at Able Sisters. But when I took it back to him, he said it wasn’t “fresh” enough, and he refused it.

I hate how picky animals are when it comes to clothes in City Folk. Especially considering they don’t tell you up front that it has to be a certain style.

Over at the Roost, I ran into Phyllis. She complained that she sees too much of the people in town.

After making my rounds, I did a little fishing and bug-catching. That included catching two sharks right next to each other!

I also caught a hammerhead shark, an arapaima, a goliath beetle, a couple of gars, and more. But one thing I didn’t catch? The scorpion that caught me first. Oof.

I didn’t play as long as I did last week, but I still ended up earning over 100,000 bells on the night. See you next time!

Last Sunday night, I played just before midnight so that I could see if fireflies would disappear off the screen right as the clock struck twelve (and June turned to July). They didn’t, although the two fireflies that remained on-screen were the last two that I saw.

Before I ended my game, I checked my bank account balance: 36,100,000 bells. Just like last year, I want to earn a million bells in July, and another million in August. So my goal is to have 38.1 million bells by September 1st.

Tonight, Whitney the white wolf was feeling under the weather. So I managed to get my mitts on some medicine. Maybe it will mitigate her malady and improve her mood.

Crazy Redd had a pear wardrobe for sale, and he claimed it was the first of its kind to ever be offered for sale. I scoffed at his claim, but I appreciated his (probably inadvertent) wordplay by saying that the pear wardrobe was a slice of history.

At the Roost, K.K. Slider was performing. I asked for a random song, and he played K.K. D & B for me.

Goldie said that there are a lot of empty houses in town, but that’s not true at all. In fact, the one she was standing by, was the only one!

Once I spoke with everyone, I started my bug-hunting session. Here, I caught an atlas beetle. A few seconds later, I also caught the cyclommatus on the tree next to it.

I was finding lots of valuable bugs, and I ended up making about 200,000 bells on the night. Good luck with your bug hunts, and I’ll see you next week!
