Prog Rock & Jacquess?

I ran into Apollo at Able Sisters yesterday. He informed me that one of the designs was made by someone. You don’t say.

Apollo: This design's by someone.
Thanks, Captain Obvious.

Jacques the bird was at the campsite, camping out and eating a donut. He told me that 100% of Jacquess would rate the campground highly.

Jacques: So far, I like what I'm seeing. 100 percent of Jacquess would rate this campground highly.

I’m just trying to wrap my head around “Jacquess” being the plural of Jacques. 🤔 That just doesn’t look right to me.

Jolly Redd was in town, but unfortunately, he didn’t have any art that I needed. I bought another flowery painting just to have as a future prize.

Today (Thursday), Gulliver was sleeping on the beach. I gathered up his communicator pieces for him, and he’ll send me a gift tomorrow.

Agent S sent me an amusing letter in the mail, telling a story of how she sent a note in class to impress a girl named Debbie. She lied in the note, saying that she hated pop music! 😮

Story time, buddy! Once, my teacher caught me passing a note and I had to read it aloud. It said 'I hate pop music.' I WAS LYING! I wanted to impress this girl, Debbie. She liked prog rock. WHAT EVEN IS PROG ROCK? No, seriously. -Agent S

It was a dreary, rainy night. Louie mistook the rain on me for sweat. Silly jock.

Louie: You been working out, oh banana? You're all sweaty! Oh...that's rain?!

I crafted an acorn pochette for Static (you know, because squirrels like acorns). But when I gave it to him in the museum, he didn’t exactly seem thrilled. 😛 He gave me a rotary phone in return.

Static: Hm? An acorn pochette?

See you all next time.

A Million Bells of Fish

On Saturday, Gullivarrr sent me a pirate’s hat in the mail for helping him out last week.

When I visited Hornsby, he told me that his grandma made him dream of “pah-sketti” and brownies. 😛 I’m not sure how she “made” him do it, but it sounds like a tasty dream!

Hornsby: But last night, she made me dream pah-sketti with a side of brownies! Yummy-yum!

The Bug-Off was held, but I only played one round. I ended up catching ten bugs (for a score of 12 points). I redeemed my points for a termite mound and a bug wand.

Yesterday, K.K. Slider was in town after being bumped from his usual night thanks to the Bug-Off.

K.K., looking over his shoulder: ...Cool, I've got a slick one for ya.

I asked him for a random song, and he played Comrade K.K. for me and Bones.

Today, C.J. was in town with another seasports challenge for me. He wanted to see me catch three small-fry fish in a row. So I caught a clown fish, a crucian carp, and a freshwater goby to complete the challenge.

I had a huge backlog of fish to sell, since I’ve been storing my valuable fish for over a month. And that included a lot that I caught earlier this month while looking for my first golden trout. So I went home and filled up my pockets with fish from storage. C.J. paid a whopping 745,500 bells for them all!

C.J.: Oh, you got a whole school for me? All together that'll be... 745,500 bells. Deal?
This also helped alleviate my nearly-full storage problem as well.

Except that wasn’t everything! I returned home and grabbed another, smaller haul. I sold the rest of the fish for another 244,500 bells. That’s a grand total of 990,000 bells! Nearly a million bells worth of fish! Why does C.J. walk around with that kind of money? 😉

Note: I later caught and sold another 26k of fish, just to officially make it over a million bells worth of fish for the day.

Meanwhile, Hornsby told me that he’s been going outside and singing heavy metal at the top of his lungs. He’s a strange dude, but I like him. 😛

Hornsby: Singing! I just go outside and start belting out heavy metal at the top of my lungs!

See you all next time!

Apple’s Birthday

I had a productive start to my session today: Immediately after checking my mail, I found three of today’s four fossils right near my house. Not bad for my first 35 seconds of gameplay. 😛

Three holes show the locations of three fossils I dug up near my house.

The 4th one wasn’t very far away either, so I ended up identifying all of my fossils before I was even able to check my beach. But once I did, I found Gullivarrr passed out on the shore. I went diving for his communicator and then returned it to him.

Nook’s Cranny had a synthesizer today, even though it was rather expensive (66k). Since I needed it for my catalog, I went ahead and bought it. I wrapped it up and gave it to Apple, because today is her birthday!

Apple: And SO expensive! Wow! Are you SURE you want to give me this? It's almost TOO awesome.

Forest’s other peppy villager, Agent S, was also at the party. It looked like everyone was having a good time! Happy birthday, Apple! 🎂

Agent S: I hope this birthday is a super mega-awesome one for Apple!

In case you’re curious, Keaton was the friend that attended Apple’s birthday party last year.

Back outside, Eloise informed me that a magazine has published a fashion photo of her!

Eloise: Oh! I almost forgot, ella-weez! A magazine has published a fashion photo of me! Yes, little ol' me!

It’s on the last page of a free magazine from her hometown, but still. Congrats to her! 🙂

Static has now unpacked all his furniture, so I got to see the inside of his house for the first time. He has a lot of black furniture (much of it is rattan) and a couple of electric guitars. I really like it! Well, maybe not the wallpaper so much, but everything else is great IMO.

When I ran into Marina, I gave her an octopus that I caught while diving. 😛 She appreciated the gift, but she didn’t seem to understand that it’s the same species as her.

Marina: Oh, wow! I've always wanted my very own octopus.

I’ll see you all next time. Have a good weekend, everyone!
