Month: March 2024

June has lived in Forest for a week now, and I still can’t get over how adorable she is. 😆

I got to see the inside of her house last Thursday, and it’s really pretty. It has a beach theme and shell furniture. For a moment, June appeared to be looking up at her shell arch. Maybe she was afraid I’d bump into it and knock it down. 😆

I recently updated my dream, so you can all meet June if you’d like. Just go to dream address 6717-1633-3682. Enjoy your visit! 🙂

On Sunday, Zipper’s eggs started appearing all over town. They’re in the ground, in the sky, in trees, in rocks, and in the water. Villagers give them to you too! You can’t escape them, and we’re stuck with them for a whole week. But the worst part is that I had to see Zipper himself!

He basically just reminded me to save up eggs for Bunny Day next Sunday. He also told me to watch out for Bunny Day D.I.Y. recipes in the meantime, but I’ve already obtained them all before.

Today is Louie’s birthday, and I gave him a Mama panda that I bought at the shop. He seemed to really like it, I think.

June was also at Louie’s birthday party, wearing a cute dress. They both seemed to be having a good time. 🙂

Note: I’ve recently updated most of the photos on my town page, and of course I’ve added Midge’s exit and June’s arrival to the town history as well.

Yesterday, I posted my annual slideshow of my best screenshots of the past year. It’s the 4th Year in Pictures:

Here are a few other quick notes about the past week or so:

• Wisp gave me a candle chandelier last Tuesday, and a schefflera on Sunday.
• Last Wednesday, I sold my turnips at a price of 314 bells apiece (700k total). It was like a turnip pi(e) surprise, a bit late. 😉 I’m now just 400k from my turnip goal!
• Gullivarrr sent me another pirate bandanna.
• K.K. Slider performed Café K.K. for me and Ketchup on Saturday night.
• Yesterday, I grabbed seven fish from storage and sold them to C.J. for 67,500 bells.
• Today, I sold nine bugs to Flick for 44,250 bells.

Yesterday, Daisy Mae was in town, and she was selling turnips for 92 bells apiece. I bought 2,200 of them.

But more importantly, I was on a mission. I had ten Nook Miles Tickets and one goal: To find a new villager to replace Midge. So I went to one mystery island after another, seeking that perfect animal to add to Forest. If you want to see how it all played out, including who I almost took, check out my new video before reading the rest of this entry:

Rio was talking about my hair, and she said she’d like to try a new hairdo to keep up with my style. Imagine Rio with a mohawk. 😆

I found a scallop while diving, and Pascal showed up to talk about attacking your food with utensils.

Today, I found my new villager’s house. It looks nice!

Of course, I went inside to greet the new animal. Welcome to Forest, June! I’m thrilled to have you here! 🙂

She’s one of the cutest villagers in the entire series, and her wallpaper and carpeting (not to mention her outfit) reflect her status as an original islander on GameCube. 🏝️

It was raining in town tonight, and I caught a nice coelacanth!

A few minutes later, I also caught a blue marlin and an oarfish! I’ll save them all for C.J., but that’s a nice little haul!

That’s all I have for now, but I’ll be looking forward to getting to know June in the coming days and weeks. 🙂 See you all next time!

On Sunday, Ketchup asked me to play a treasure hunt game. She gave me six minutes to find the buried treasure, but I didn’t find it in time. It’s rare for me to lose these hunts, especially when I had the full six minutes. Once I did eventually find it, Ketchup demanded the gift back. 😛

Tuesday (March 12th) was Midge’s birthday, and I attended her party. I gave her a clarinet as a birthday gift. I don’t mean to toot my own horn, but my gift blew her away!

She thanked me for the gift, and she said she hopes she can celebrate her next birthday here on the island too.

Agent S was also at the party, and she seemed to be having a good time. She genuinely enjoyed seeing Midge so happy. Awww. 😊

Yesterday, just three days after Midge said she wanted to be here next year, the bird already changed her tune. She wants out!

She has lived here for 11 months in this stint, and over two years in total. So I decided to let her go (again). I’m sure we’ll meet again soon enough, if history is any indication. 😆

I went diving a bit later, and I found a scallop. Pascal popped up and started talking about runners’ second wind.

Today, Midge was all packed up to move out of town. So long, Midge! It’s been nice having you around. Twice. 😉

I recently put together an animated line chart race showing my savings account balances in each Animal Crossing game. Give it a watch if you’d like, it’s only a minute long:

Here are a few other quick notes about this week:

• On Monday, I sold 9 bugs to Flick for 57,000 bells.
• Ketchup was sick with a cold, so I gave her some medicine. In return, she gave me a striped tee.
• Midge sent me a tee-parka combo in the mail Wednesday, to thank me for attending her party.
• Gulliver sent me a veil Wednesday.
• Yesterday, I sold 13 fish to C.J. for 132,000 bells.
• Today, my savings balance reached 85 million bells.
• K.K. Slider performed K.K. Waltz for me tonight.

I’ll see you all next time, with news of whoever my next villager will be. 🙂
