On Sunday, Quillson the duck was camping here in Forest for the 2nd time. I ducked out before he could inquire about moving in.

On Wednesday, Louie sent me a letter with a blue corner attached. Since it was Agent S’s birthday, I thought that would make a good gift for her. It is blue, after all. So I wrapped it up and headed to the squirrel superhero’s party. But when I gave her the present, there was a problem: She said she already has a blue corner! Oops!

However, she still accepted it. Another squirrel, Static, was also at the party. And he even called himself “an old cuss.” 😆

Yesterday, I listened in on a conversation between Agent S and Bones. Agent S said that her goal was to become a multifaceted pop star, and Bones didn’t understand. 😛

Today, I had another camper at the campsite. It was Peggy the pig, but I have no interest in bringing home this bacon.

K.K. Slider was in town tonight for his Saturday night show, and I asked him for a random song. He performed “K.K. Rally” for me, Ankha, Bob, and Bones. Well, and a mosquito.

Here are a few other quick notes about this week:

• On Sunday, K.K. Slider performed “K.K. Ballad” for me.
• On Tuesday, I sold 18 fish to C.J. for a whopping 312,000 bells.
• On Wednesday, Wisp gave me a garden chair when I returned his spirits to him.
• Flick was in town, and I sold him 32 bugs for 159,000 bells.
• Yesterday, I returned a lost item to June. She rewarded me with some cat grass.
• I helped out Gullivarrr, and he sent me another pirate outfit today.

On Sunday, Pascal popped up in the rain to talk about yoga poses.

Bob sent me this letter on Wednesday, along with a gift. He found it under his bed while looking for candy, and he wondered if it was a piece of toffee…

But the attached item was actually coprolite. That’s fossilized dino poop! Wow, he’s lucky he didn’t lick it to taste what it was! Yuck! 😆

On Thursday, I dug up the daily glowing spot money, and then a zigzag pattern led me to three of the day’s four fossils! That was four of the five buried items all in one area.

When I visited Bones, he told me to pick a color. He said he would tell me what food I’m most like. I picked red, and he compared me to a “hababa-ben-erioh” pepper. He’s wrong, of course, but I thought it was cute how he struggled to pronounce habanero. 😛

I know some of you have had issues with Joy-Con drift, and I’ve been having issues with Pro Controller drift for a while. I sometimes don’t get the full amount of bells from money rocks, because the controller wants to move my character down. And the problem is getting worse, too. The other day, I walked into Nook’s shop and my character left the store by himself! 😆 It’s annoying, but I don’t want to buy a new Pro Controller when I’ll be getting Switch 2 within the next few months.

Today, the June Bug-Off was held, and I participated in one round. But as I was trying to catch a drone beetle, Static was in my way and I kept talking to him by mistake!

But despite the setback, I still ended up catching 14 bugs…which was good for 16 points.

I sold my 14 bugs to Flick for 4,110 bells, and then I redeemed ten of my points for a bug wand.

Due to the Bug-Off, there was no K.K. Slider concert tonight. Here are a few other quick notes about the past week:

• Last Saturday, K.K. performed “Marine Song 2001” for me, Ketchup, Peanut, Agent S, and Bones.
• Ketchup was sick on Sunday, so I gave her some medicine. In return, she gave me an attus robe.
• On Tuesday, I helped out Wisp and he gave me a portable record player.
• On Wednesday, I had a whale of a fishing day; I caught three whale sharks! And also a great white shark, a saw shark, and a coelacanth! 💰💰💰
• Yesterday, I helped out Gulliver; he sent me a tubeteika in the mail today.

I recently posted my latest New Horizons Moments video. Check it out!

On Tuesday, Pascal popped up to ask for a scallop I caught. He then spouted some dizzying logic, wondering why dinosaurs are bad drivers if dinosaurs turned into the oil that powers cars?

Who says they are bad drivers? Is this about Yoshi in Mario Kart? This is not one of Pascal’s better quotes, in my opinion. Unless I’m just missing the joke?

On Wednesday, Wade the penguin was camping at the campsite.

I did not recognize him, because Wade is a villager that I’ve rarely seen before. I might have seen him in a friend’s town on New Leaf, or possibly in a dream town, but those would’ve been many years ago. And it seems that the only time I’ve even mentioned him on this site was when I listed the new and returning villagers in Welcome Amiibo in 2016!

At any rate, he is cute, but I did not ask him to move in.

Yesterday, Peanut asked me to visit her house, and I agreed to stop over. She talked and talked, wanting to know everything about me. It was a bit much.

But I chatted with her repeatedly, I used her workbench, I watched cartoons on her TV, and I played a game of High Card, Low Card with her. I lost. After about five minutes, I left her house. She chased me down in the doorway and gave me a copy of “Forest Life” on my way out. It was kind of cute how it went down.

Today, I listened in on a conversation between June and Peanut. Peanut was talking about fashion, but June didn’t understand a word. Peanut said she was just trying out some small talk, so June gave that a try too. Except she was talking about how she thinks mermaids really exist. 🧜‍♀️

If mermaids are real, that makes me wonder where Pascal is getting the mermaid’s clothing that he sometimes gives out! 😮

Later, I listened in on another Peanut conversation. This one was with Louie, and he told her how he’s going to start signing his autographs once his pro surfing career takes off. It included a catchphrase I taught him a while back. 😆

But Peanut liked it so much that she’s going to start using it too! This is what she plans on saying when she becomes a pop star:

Silly villagers. 😆 Anyway, here are a few other quick notes about this week:

• On Tuesday, I shot down a balloon present that contained an old-fashioned alarm clock. I must’ve really clocked that balloon, but the reward was alarmingly good. ⏰
• Wisp was in town, and he gave me a school desk. He must be really dead-icated to learning.
• Yesterday, I returned a lost item (a shopping bag) to Bones, and he gave me a cycling shirt to say thanks.
• I sold 30 bugs to Flick for 156,750 bells.
• Tonight, I sold seven fish to C.J. for 117,000 bells.

Have a great weekend, everyone! I’ll be back with more next week, including a new episode of New Horizons Moments. Never Stop Crossing!
