I received my latest home score from the Happy Home Academy in the mail today. They gave me 96,518 points, and an S rank. They also informed me that my main room on the first floor (the mermaid room) was my highest-scoring room. That’s what I figured…and it’s also why I need to keep the mermaid stuff up until I earn all of the HHA rewards.

Up by the Animal Crossing cemetery, I noticed a bunch of new budding flowers have appeared.

It didn’t rain yesterday, so I was a bit confused at first. But then I remembered that last night, I (and others) used a watering can to “attack” Logan from on the cliff, while he was down below, attacking us with a net. 😛

Yellow roses aren’t necessarily a flower I need more of, but at least I figured out the mystery of the new flower buds. 😛

I shot down a balloon present over the other graveyard (the Halloween one), and it contained an anatomical model. It looks like it could be a Halloween item (like a partially dissected body), so I placed it nearby. 😛

I crafted a gold rose wreath and gave it to Hornsby. He told me he would display it, but only after he cleaned his sticky door. I don’t know why his door is sticky, but I was afraid to ask. He gave me a school jacket in return.

Later on, I found Wisp back by Rizzo’s house. I thought it was amusing that the toilet lid flipped open each time Wisp would float by. 😀

Does Wisp even need a toilet? Well, anytime he drinks some coffee, it passes right through him. 😛 But anyway, he asked me to collect his five spirits for him. I was surprised to find two of them together at the amusement park! Maybe they wanted to play a “Guess My Weight” game. 😉

After finding all of Wisp’s spirits, he gave me a stadiometer for helping out.

Video update: I plan on posting Wi-Fi Moments #12 tomorrow, and New Horizons Moments #3 later in the week. Keep an eye out for them! See you soon!

Yesterday, Jolly Redd was in town with four works of art for me to choose from. The famous painting appeared to be fake, and the flowery painting appeared to be real (but I already have it in the museum). So that left a quaint painting and a beautiful statue, both of which I had not seen before in New Horizons. I took a chance and bought the quaint painting.

Today, I received the painting in the mail. I took it over to Blathers, and he informed me that it was a fake. 🙁

When I went diving for a Nook Miles+ goal, I found a scallop and Pascal showed up to ask for it. Pascal wondered why people used to try to turn lead into gold instead of just accepting lead the way it was. 😛

K.K. Slider was in town, and I asked him for a random song. He performed Café K.K. for me, Keaton, and Lopez. Now if only K.K. could perform in a café. 😉

I made a special Halloween mural that’s on my beach near the graveyard.

At 10:00, I opened up my gate. Logan and Alex from Pawnee came over…and surprisingly, that was it. I know this was my first time opening on a Saturday night, but I expected more visitors than that…so I posted to Twitter to remind people. Three people replied that they were trying to get in, but were getting an error message.

So I closed my gate and reopened around 10:30 or so. This time, Maria, James, Logan, and Alex from Pawnee came over. As you can see in this screenshot, I also made a pattern for K.K. night.

Logan told us that Alex from A-Nation was also trying to come over, but he was getting the error message as well. We noticed that both times, nobody joined in after Alex from Pawnee. So we thought maybe he was locking the door behind him when he came in. 😉 But he offered to leave and return to see if the other Alex could get in…and it worked! So we had both Alexes.

We headed over to the plaza, and I asked everyone to go crazy as I watched K.K.’s show. People running around during a show provides some funny moments, as some of you may remember from my ACCF Wi-Fi Moments.

After a few shows, we walked through Donkey Kong Country and Alex did some fishing.

A bit later, Maria was trying to catch a shark, and Alex stole it away. It turned out to be a whale shark, too! 😮

We went to my house and merged in the basement. It’s a shame that stairways seem to be the only place where merging still works. I guess it’s so that people don’t accidentally push each other up/down stairs or out a door.

After we were done hanging out in my house, we visited Apple. She was crafting a cabin wall, which I don’t think of us needed. 😛

Shortly after that, I ended the session (just after midnight). Thanks to everyone who came, it was fun!

Yesterday, I received a letter from Gullivarrr in the mail. He sent me a pirate-treasure chest.

I like the item overall, but it’s a bit disappointing that it can’t be closed and opened; it’s always open. And the gold doesn’t look particularly shiny…even my golden roses look shinier. 😛

I finally bred my first orange rose, and I was planning on using black and orange roses to decorate for Halloween. However, the orange rose is very pale and it almost looks pink to me. So I may just use orange windflowers to decorate instead.

Louie informed me that he lost his training notebook. If I’m not mistaken, this is the first time a villager has informed me of a lost item before I’ve found it myself. The book wasn’t far away, so I quickly returned it to Louie. He gave me some rimmed glasses to thank me.

What’s with the jocks losing so many items lately though?

Today, Saharah was in town. I made some purchases and ended up with a snowflake rug, blue dotted rug, flowing-river flooring, and blackboard wall. The snowflake rug is the only one I kept (in storage). But I noticed that picking up a rug sure stirs up a lot of dust!

I posted a New Horizons Q & A video today, so check it out if you’d like. I answer about 50 questions about the game, features, villagers, my play style, and more.

There won’t be a Friday Night Forest this week, because I’m going to be playing some Super Mario 3D All-Stars. 😛 However, I plan on opening up on Saturday night instead, probably at the same time.
