Halloween is getting really close now, and Isabelle and the Nooklings have started dressing up for the season. Isabelle is now wearing an orange-and-black striped witch hat, and the Nooklings are wearing hats to make them look like…animals. 😛

I didn’t notice at first, but Mabel and Tom Nook were also dressed up, wearing impish horns. Thanks to Logan for pointing this out!

Orville joined in the fun as well! Thanks to Josh (aka JDTubeHD) for the heads-up!

There were also new Halloween decorations at town hall.

Gullivarrr sent me my reward in the mail, and it was a pirate barrel. Even though I was hoping for another piece of the pirate outfit, I am happy with the pirate barrel. It’s a good thing to have on-hand.

C.J. was in town, and he had a fishing challenge for me: He wanted me to catch five fish in a row. That was easy enough! I got a bunch of fish out of storage and sold him a whole school of assorted fish.

I sold them for over 265k bells. That’s one of my biggest payouts from C.J.

The special characters weren’t the only animals wearing new headgear: I was amused to find Agent S wearing my “Where’s Waldo?” hat, over her helmet, in the shop. 😀

At 7:00 tonight, shooting stars started appearing. I wished on a few of them, and then I ran into Celeste up on the cliff! She gave me a D.I.Y. recipe for a Scorpio lamp. And I noticed that she wishes on shooting stars, too!

I’m going to work a bit more on my town later tonight, and hopefully, record my new town tour video tomorrow. There may not be a new entry tomorrow (unless something major and unexpected happens). As for the town tour, I’m not sure if I’ll be posting it tomorrow or Friday, but you can check my latest videos here.

I am currently planning on having Friday Night Forest this week, and we can have another Halloween race tournament. If anything changes before Friday night, I’ll edit this paragraph. Hope to see you all soon! 🎃

Yesterday, Flick was in town to buy bugs. I sold him two scorpions and a tiger beetle (that’s all I had) for 26,250 bells.

In front of town hall, Bones was singing K.K. Dirge for Midge and Rizzo. They were sitting on the ground like children, seemingly fascinated by the song. It was cute!

Today, I found Gullivarrr washed up on the beach. As usual, he was missing his communicator.

I went diving in the ocean and found it on my first attempt. He’ll be sending me a gift in the mail tomorrow.

When I visited Hornsby, he went on and on about how much he liked his argyle sweater. He said it goes with everything…even bug dirt, fish slop, and nose glop. 😮 That’s disgusting! 😛

Tia had a new nickname for me, and it’s one I don’t think I’ve heard before: J-bug.

Later on, I found Wisp hanging out in Pumpkin Park.

I collected his spirits for him, and he gave me a sepia puzzle wall.

As you probably know, Animal Crossing villagers sometimes share their catchphrases with other villagers. But for once, I actually witnessed that exchange. I saw Tia standing behind a tree, and I couldn’t really tell what she was doing. So I spoke with her, and it turned out, she was talking with Bones. Bones complimented her catchphrase, and she told him to use it. And just like that, he adopted the catchphrase “with cream.”

Yesterday, I posted Wi-Fi Moments #14, with Halloween-themed online highlights. Check it out if you haven’t seen it yet!

For just the second time, I bought some turnips from Daisy Mae this morning. Her price was 100 bells apiece, and I bought 1,000 of them.

I had a lot of unwanted flower buds to clean up, after the rain yesterday. But I want to keep my town looking nice, so that I can record a new town tour video later this week.

I found Midge reading while sitting on the ground outside her house…right next to her new bench. She repeated the new greeting I gave her a few days ago. 😉

Later, I listened in on a conversation between Apple and Agent S. They were discussing a band named Gyroid Gyroid that was supposedly on TV last night.

They were fangirling over the band, and their great lyrics.

I crafted some more spooky furniture and put it in the main room of my house. Just ignore the turnips for now. 😛

I moved my mermaid furniture to the basement.

Wisp was in town, up on the cliffs tonight. I found his five spirits and returned them to him, and he rewarded me with a velvet stool.

If all goes well, I’ll be posting a new Wi-Fi Moments video tomorrow!
