Unidentified Flying Seagull

I took the bus to the city today and saw my old doctor villager Buck there. Somehow I wasn’t surprised that he was talking about butts.

Buck: Dude! Are they making bus seats outta slabs of solid granite now?I checked the new items at Crazy Redd’s shop, but he didn’t have anything I was interested in. Phineas was also in the city, so I got a bubble wand from him.

Phineas: OK, settle down, now! I'm sure I've got just the thing for you.Back in Forest, everything indicated that today would be a UFO day. And indeed, at 8:07, the UFO flew overhead. Direct hit!

Shooting a UFO with my slingshot.This was my 19th time shooting down the UFO overall and 9th time in 2012. As I was looking for the spaceship part, Yuka approached me. Even though I didn’t really want to talk to her, I was hoping she was going to say she was moving out. But she was just asking for a new catchphrase. So I gave her one.

What's the catchphrase? I hate you.Meanwhile, I was having a hard time finding the spaceship part. I was starting to get worried. But then I finally spotted it. It was much farther from the impact site than it usually is…perhaps the farthest that I’ve seen it. But I did recover it, and that’s all that matters. Check back tomorrow to find out which rare item Gulliver gives me.

Katie, Kaitlin, and Blanca Too

For the third week in a row, I had to reunite the lost kitten and her mother. This time, I had the mother cat Kaitlin in my town.

Kaitlin: Oh, pickles! My daughter has gone missing again...So later on, Yann agreed to bring Katie over.

Thanking Yann as she arrives in Forest.I noticed that Yann’s tan was getting darker.

Jeff, to Yann: You're getting dark.I also noticed that the grass is a different color now. It’s a bluish green. Strangely enough, it will become green again later on, towards the end of summer.

Jeff: The grass is bluuuuuuu...ish.Yann and I caught bugs for 10-15 minutes or so, and then I closed my gate. But after I did, Rowan was mentioning a cat that he didn’t know if it was male or female.

Rowan: There's this weird cat walking around talking about needing a mirror...And sure enough, now that Kaitlin was gone, Blanca appeared! I never knew you could have the lost cats and Blanca in the same day! Actually, while the gate was open, I had Saharah too! So it was a busy day in terms of visitors! Anyway, Blanca was wearing a creepy face that Ness made. Ness seemingly put a lot of effort into it and did a good job at making Blanca look creepy.

Blanca: Do you think my face says "creepy"?Blanca now wanted a serious face though. I’m too lazy to put much effort into it; I just want Blanca gone tomorrow so she doesn’t interfere with my UFO hunt.

Blanca: Done already? Groovy! Gosh, another new face. What secrets will this one hold?After that, I ended my game for the night.

City Visit and Dino Poop

Avery let me know that he has decided to stay in Forest. For now, at least.

Avery: You've convinced me, bud. I'll stay on as Forest's crankiest resident a while longer.I checked the bulletin board and discovered that Jambette won yesterday’s Bug-Off competition.

~Our Bug-Off Results~ The MVP of the 7/21 Bug-Off was Jambette, with a massive 65-point jewel beetle!I went to the city to check the new emotions at the theater. But as I do sometimes, I walked into the Happy Room Academy by mistake. Since I was there anyway, I decided to check out the model room.

A Japanese-looking room as the model room in the HRA.The Japanese themed items (and the deer scare) made me suspect it was Bushido’s room (even though he’s Ness now and probably has Earthbound-themed rooms).

But it was actually Toni’s room. I haven’t played with her in a long time. I remember one time, the Orgs (Jorge and Georgie) started typing animal sounds (such as DOG HOWL and CAT HISS) and Toni left town shortly after. She probably thought they were crazy.

Lyle: This month's winner? Kid from Biggs. Name's Toni. Ya see her? Tell her congrats.I eventually made it into the theater. I decided to get disappointment (the sigh) to replace my distress (the pee-pee dance).

Clerk: What show would you like to see today?Shrunk seemingly had a message for Mumbelina (Chris).

Shrunk: "Shrunk! You'll never be a hit in a million years if you MUMBLE all the time!"In the city plaza, I noticed that four of my former villagers were there. I rounded them up so that they were all on-screen at once. Here’s the picture of Gabi, Antonio, Mint, and Rolf.

Gabi, Antonio, Mint, and Rolf walking around the city.Back in Forest, I watered my flowers. I found out Egbert is kind of creepy. Even if I peek in Bob’s window too… I mean…uh, no I don’t.

Egbert: I just got chewed out by Bob for peeking through his window! Sheesh, what a meanie!Yuka, my 2nd least favorite villager, wanted to give me a new nickname: Sugar J! Heck no! Instead, I made her call me master.

Yuka: So then, I'll start calling you master...I was about done playing, but I decided to make one last stop at the museum. I had some fossils I needed Blathers to identify; one of them was coprolite. If you don’t know, that’s just a fancy term for fossilized dinosaur poop. There…who says my blog isn’t educational? 😛

Blathers: To put it simply, this is some coprolite. Quite. Of this, I have no doubt.
