Twin Tourists?

On Monday, I encountered Pascal while diving. He told me that fresh-baked cookies are like hugs for your mouth. That certainly sounds like an odd comparison, but I can’t exactly disagree with it either. 🍪

Pascal: Cookies fresh out of the oven are like warm hugs for your mouth. And your mouth...maaan, it needs hugs too.

He gave me two pearls for the scallop I caught.

On Tuesday night, I spotted two orange mice that were tourists that looked the same at first glance. As if they were twins, or clones!

But when the one turned around to say “Cheese!” it was clear that they were very different indeed. It was Bettina and Limberg! Oops!

On Thursday, Julia the ostrich was camping in town. She said she loves Forest, particularly the air, trees, and water. But I have a feeling she’d say the same thing even if a town didn’t have any trees.

Julia, at the campsite: I absolutely love this island, don't you? The air! The trees! The water! It's all so splendid.

I found Pascal while diving again, and he had another quote that I apparently haven’t included in the blog before. He said if you “waste your time” doing something you enjoy, then the time isn’t really wasted. Very true!

Pascal: Maaan, if you waste your time doing something you enjoy, then you don't waste your time.

Tonight, I stopped at the plaza to check out K.K. Slider’s Saturday night show. I was joined by both of my purple buddies, both of my villagers whose names start with “B,” and two of my three squirrels. In other words, Bones, Bob, Static, and Agent S. K.K. performed “King K.K.” for us.

Here are a couple other quick notes about this week:

  • On Thursday, I retrieved Wisp’s spirits for him. He rewarded me with a snare drum.
  • Yesterday, Flick was in town. I sold him 31 bugs for 151,500 bells.

Update to Restore Order

On Monday, I reached a new milestone in my savings account: 135 million bells.

Savings Balance: 135,000,000 bells

On Tuesday, my recently departed villager Ankha returned to Forest as a tourist! She said it had been too long, and she was acting as if I had already forgotten her! Not true! But it was nice to see her again, even though it hasn’t been that long at all!

Ankha: Don't tell me you've forgotten your friend Ankha?

Blaire the skunk-like squirrel was camping in town on Wednesday. I stopped in to say hello, and she was looking cute! But I wasn’t about to kick anyone out for her.

Blaire: Well, you're not a shy one, are you? My name's Blaire. How kind of you to stop by.

A couple weeks back, I talked about the leaf statue that Nintendo sent out for the series’ 25th anniversary. I mentioned that the gift could not be ordered. While that was true at the time, Nintendo has since updated the game again (Version 3.0.3) to change that! We can now order the leaf statue for 25,414 bells! (The 25 represents the 25 years, while the “414” references the April 14th date of the anniversary.)

Leaf statue: 25,414 bells.

Thank you for this, Nintendo! 🙂

Yesterday, I caught a flea that was on Peanut…even though she denied having fleas, ever. I then asked her about a lost item I found in town, and she told me it was hers. To thank me, she gave me a shower set. But maybe she should’ve kept it; she’s the one with fleas, after all. 😛

Peanut: Aaaaand check it out! It's a shower set! I hope you like it!

I gave Agent S a wharf roach that she asked for. And in return, she gave me another copy of her photo. Thanks, Agent S!

Tonight, my purple buddies Bob and Static joined me for a K.K. Slider performance of “Soulful K.K.”
