Month: August 2020

Able Sisters had all four colors of frog caps today, so I bought the two I still needed (yellow and red). They also had a blue cavalier hat, so I bought that as well…even though it’s not dark blue like the one in City Folk.

When I visited Rizzo, he told me that the Happy Home Academy wasn’t impressed by him.

Don’t feel too bad about that, Rizzo. Nobody is impressed by you. 😛

I made a new Jeff Tybalt design, and I set up my fireworks patterns with Isabelle. This is what I went with for the final fireworks festival of the year:

At about 9:10 tonight, I opened up my gate. Bran, Logan, Alex (from Pawnee), Timo, Maria, and Sacky showed up, and we watched the fireworks for a bit.

I took everyone to the cemetery, and we learned that fish couldn’t be released into the slim pond of water behind the graves. But I learned that I could dive into the ocean from on top of the wall behind the waterfall…but only from the right side.

We went swimming, hung out at the amusement park arcade, and then we jumped on the pillars (for perhaps the last time).

Sacky left without warning, and that seemed to start a revolving door effect a few minutes later. William arrived, TZ arrived, Bran left, and Logan left. We hung out at the plaza and watched the fireworks some more.

TZ and Alex left after a bit, and I ended the session about 11:00. Thanks to everyone who came, it was fun!

When I visited Lopez today, I saw that my buddy Hornsby was there for a visit. Lopez was telling me about his rocking chair, and how it was custom engineered to hug his butt. However, it was Hornsby’s (considerably larger) butt that was hugging his chair at that particular moment. 😂

Accessing the Nook Stop machine today earned me enough Nook Miles that my account total hit 500,000 miles! There’s not really much point to it, but I thought it was an interesting milestone anyway. I know, I’m weird. 😛 I may use some of them soon though, because I want to visit some mystery islands and stock up on weeds and bamboo. (Again, I’m weird, haha.)

K.K. Slider was actually performing at the plaza on a Saturday for a change (*gasp*). 😛 So I asked him for a random song, and he played Rockin’ K.K. for me. Midge, Keaton, Agent S, and Rizzo were also in attendance.

When I went diving for scallops, Pascal gave me a DIY recipe for a mermaid chair. I made one and put it in my room.

As I mentioned recently, I was informed that Tybalt’s name in French is Jeff. Thanks to Anna on Youtube for pointing this out to me.

I wanted a visual example of this, so I checked my Welcome Amiibo cards. While Tybalt’s card does indeed show his other language names, I didn’t have that card. I was thinking about asking someone to take a screenshot for me, but then I thought of something. The language can be changed in the Switch menu, so I could do it myself! And that’s what I did. Here’s a pic of Jeff greeting Jeff. 🙂

The last fireworks festival of the year is coming up tomorrow night. I’ll be opening my gate for friends at some point. It’ll likely be sometime around 9 p.m. Eastern time (6 p.m. Pacific), but I suggest checking my Twitter for a more precise time. See you all then!

Lopez was wondering why someone (me) left a plain wooden shop sign on the side of the road.

Has he never been to Apple Lane before? Maybe if he could read the sign, he wouldn’t be so confused. 😂

When I found Pascal, he told me people were telling him his shirt was on inside-out. But he didn’t care, because he was dressing for himself, not for them.

That’s fine and all, but there’s a problem with that story. Just on Monday, he told me that he never wears shirts! So how could his shirt be inside-out if he wasn’t wearing a shirt in the first place? 🤔 Anyway, he gave me some mermaid shoes in exchange for my scallop.

In the bug wing of the museum, I ran into Louie. There was an atlas moth seemingly hovering in mid-air as I spoke with Louie.

Kicks was in town, but I didn’t buy anything from him.

Back at home, I noticed my bathroom was filling up with garbage! 😉

Just kidding. I noticed that I had enough trash in storage that I was able to craft the garbage-heap wall and flooring. 😛 I can’t imagine actually using this wall/flooring in my house, but I put it into storage just in case.

Not much else was going on, and I felt like I was in a bit of a rut. So I brainstormed and tried to think of something new to put in my town. I came up with an idea (but not the specifics), but I’m not going to start on it until next week. But if any of my visitors Sunday night want to jump on the jumping pillars, I suggest you do it while you can. That’s where I’m planning on putting the new area.

Reminder: There is no Friday Night Forest tonight, but I’ll be opening on Sunday night for the final fireworks festival. The time is uncertain, but it will likely be somewhere around 9pm Eastern time. Just check Twitter for the exact time once Sunday night comes around.

Final thought for the night: I’d love to hear what everyone’s favorite parts of my island are. If you’ve visited or dreamed of Forest, could you rank your top three attractions? To refresh your memory, I’ll list some of them here: The frog race course, Peach Park, Rainbow Road, the AC cemetery, Apple Lane, the sumo ring, arches, campsite, amusement park, Sudden Valley, etc. Leave a comment below!
