Yesterday, Gulliver sent me a geisha wig in the mail. I also received some mail from Jack; he sent me his portrait, along with a reminder to start saving up candy for Halloween.

Leif was in town, selling pumpkin starts at half-price. I bought a few of them, although I don’t plan on keeping up with them as much as I did last year.

Wisp was also in Forest, and I gathered up his spirits for him. In return, he gave me a stovetop espresso maker.

Tonight, it was K.K. Slider night. I was surprised to see a pretty good crowd at the plaza, and K.K. performed K.K. Steppe for me, Marina, Eloise, Bones, and Louie. I really enjoyed the show tonight. 🙂

I later gave Static a mini fridge that I bought at Nook’s Cranny. In return, he gave me a simple parka.

I planted five pumpkin starts and watered them, I wished on a couple of shooting stars, and then I wrapped up my game for the night. I haven’t had the motivation for decorating lately. 😛

Enjoy the rest of your weekend, everyone!

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

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.

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! 😮

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

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.

See you all next time.

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!

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.

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!

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. 😛

See you all next time!
