Pete was outside my door today with a letter from Nintendo. It’s July now, and that means new DLC. The item this time is a creepy skeleton.

Maybe it’s just me, but I think it looks kind of dumb. It looks more like a dog skeleton lying on the floor. I think I’d prefer a vertical (standing) skeleton instead. Of course they already have one of those in the game. Anyway, here’s a look at the creepy skeleton.

In my mailbox was a letter from the Bank of Nintendo. I earned 58,600 bells of interest this month.

On the bulletin board, I got some bad news.

The rainy season is about to wrap up, it says. But I’m not sure when exactly that means. Mid-month? Or has it already ended? I know it wasn’t raining in Forest today, but I’m hoping the rainy season sticks around a little longer. I hate watering flowers.

Anyway, I went to the city to check for new emotions. Nothing I was interested in.

But I saw Goose in the city and I said hello.

The beginning of July means there are lots of new bugs (well, and fish too). To celebrate, I’m going to have a late-night bug-catching party tonight in my town. So check back late tonight for another blog entry.

Tonight, I opened my gate at 10:00 for Friday Night Forest. Yann, Phoebe, and Megan quickly filled up my town. We went in the Able Sisters, and Megan tried on a geisha wig.

I showed them my newest emotion, distress, which I got on Monday. I said it looked like I was doing the pee-pee dance.

Phoebe was acting like she worked there, so Megan called her Phable. The name stuck. After we left, Phable was still inside, so I buried a pitfall seed. Once she came out, she fell for it.

We went to Nook’s, and even though Phoebe didn’t pretend to work there, I started calling her Phook. She seemed to not be paying much attention. I think she was distracted by penguin feet.

We caught some bugs, including goliath beetles. Here we are, posing as with The Beetles.

But then we got disconnected and lost our beetles. I reopened my gate and the same three visitors came back. At one point in my house, Megan and Phoebe were spamming lots of keyboard text in time with the music playing in my house. Megan later declared it Spam Night.

Shortly before Nook closed his store, we did the door glitch again.

I later caught a coelacanth and here I posed with the sharks caught by Phoebe and Megan. Yann provided a nice silk hat for me.

Nature called and led us into Scott’s house. It was both the #1 and #2 spots in town tonight.

Everyone posted on my bulletin board. Megan quoted some Rhythm Heaven Fever.

Phoebe eventually left for the night, and I closed my gate a short while after that. It was a fun night.

It rained earlier in the day today, so I again didn’t have to water my flowers. I really enjoy the break from watering, but unfortunately, the extra rain isn’t translating into more hybrids. In fact, I’ve hardly been getting any new black roses lately. I’d guess I’m averaging about 0.5 per day over the past couple weeks. Very disappointing.

Anyway, I still went around town and talked to some of my animals. Kid Cat said he wanted to move out, but I talked him out of it.

I just don’t understand why it’s almost always the animals I like that want to move out. Why can’t Yuka ever ask me? I would love to tell her to get out. In fact, I’d pay for her bus ticket out of town! 😛

Pascal was in town today. I gave him a scallop and he gave me a barrel before taking an Olympic dive into the river. I’d rate his dive a 8.0. Not bad, but it made too much of a splash. He’s not quite ready for the Olympics. 😛
