Star Cat

As expected, my wart removal cream has worked wonders (just kidding 😂). But Wart Jr. is now all packed up and ready to move out of town. It does feel a bit weird to be saying goodbye to him after just a six-week stay in Forest, but oh well. It’s better to lose him than risk losing one of my favorites.

Wart Jr.: Anyway, as you can see, I've decided it's time for me to hit the road! I'm movin' outta town!

Up at the Roost, I spent 200 bells on a nice cup of coffee. After drinking it, my character actually said “Pa-zow!” Apparently it was so good that I thought it was a dream?

Strong AND full-bodied?! It's like I'm in some crazy dream!

While I was in the museum, I made a rare trip upstairs to the observatory. I decided to make a new constellation, a cat!

Celeste registered it for me, and she told me that its best viewing will be on March 7th.

Celeste: Splendid! I shall now register cat.

When I visited Vladimir, I noticed that he redecorated in an unusual way: Literally all of his furniture is in the front half of his house!

Vladimir's curious decorating.

I suppose he could use the back half to run around and play. But then again, maybe that’s where he goes to fart (or should I say, where he does his putin‘.)

Later on, my cat constellation ever so slowly rolled across the sky. I took this photo of it over my fountain. 🙂

See you all next week! Don’t forget to check in on your villagers, and Never Stop Crossing! 🙂

That’s a Wrap!

I barely made it to the fireworks festival tonight, with mere minutes to spare. Tortimer gave me a Roman candle, and I promptly gave him his annual turtle wax.

The shell shine costs extra, sorry.

I also looked up to the sky to enjoy a few moments of the fireworks.

Wart Jr. walked into the plaza, and he told me that he was thinking about moving out of town!

Wart Jr.: It's just about time I packed up my things and moved on, grr-ribbit.

I encouraged him to go, although I must admit I don’t dislike him quite as much as I thought he would. Despite his appearance, he seems like a nice guy. But I’m okay with him leaving anyway. 😛

After the clock struck midnight, the fireworks ended for the year. Tortimer was sad that he’ll have to wait until next year to see more. I think I’d have to agree with him. It feels like there weren’t enough of them this year (because we only had four Sundays in August, compared to five the past two years).

Tortimer: Well. I guess this is it for fireworks this year. No more fireworks until next year. How sad...
That’s a wrap!

Tom was still sick tonight, but he initially tried to blame it on a lasagna allergy! When did he have lasagna? Who does he think he is, Garfield?

Tom: Ha-choo! That's weird. My lasagna allery hasn't acted up in ages. I better not be sick...

I gave him another dose of medicine, so hopefully he will get well soon.

Since it was very late when I played (and since I’ve already met my bell goal for summer), I didn’t do any additional bug-hunting (except for a few that I saw as I made my rounds).

2022 Summer Goal Met

Gaston asked for a new catchphrase yesterday, and I told him to say “my ‘stache.” He hasn’t used it in a funny way yet, but I think it has potential. (“In my stache” would have been funnier, but it wouldn’t fit.)

Gaston: My 'stache... My 'stache... Yeah, that might work, my 'stache!

I’ve hardly seen any sharks all summer, surprisingly enough. But that changed when I caught two of them last night (one hammerhead and one regular shark). It’s always satisfying to bring them in. 🦈

My Friday night session was just about one hour, and I earned 145k on the night.

I played again tonight, and Tom was sick with a cold. I gave him some medicine, but he said he still felt “fadey.”

Tom: Oooh...that's some fast-acting stuff there. My symptoms are fading, but, I feel...fadey.
Did Jerry give you an invisibility potion?

I went up to the Roost for the Saturday night show and asked for a random song. K.K. Slider played Rockin’ K.K., which felt a little too fast and happy for my mood. 😛 But I did appreciate all the quick camera cuts that the game does to match the fast beat of the song.

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

Big Top asked me for a lantern fly, so I kept my eyes out for one as I hunted for bugs. I caught one for him, and in return, he gave me a palace tile (flooring).

Big Top: Yes! A lantern fly!

In my 52-minute session tonight, I earned over 129,000 bells. And that was enough to kick my bank account balance up to 53 million bells! That’s right, I have met my summer goal a few days ahead of schedule! 🎉

Your current balance is 53,000,000 bells.

I plan on playing again tomorrow night for the final fireworks festival of the year. But I’m not yet sure if I’ll post a blog entry, or just save those screenshots for later in the week. I’ll see how things go tomorrow.

Enjoy the fireworks tomorrow! Hope to see you again soon.
