No Words

On Tuesday, Bob was telling me that he always falls asleep when he’s listening to music on his stereo. So because of that, he said he doesn’t know the words to any of K.K.’s songs.

Bob: That's why I don't know the words to any of K.K.'s songs, even though I listen to 'em all the time!

But…do they even have words??? I have no words. 😛

If you’re wondering why I was dressed as a hot dog, it’s because I was making a short silly video of me dancing. In a hot dog suit. 😛 It uses an Awolnation song, so I won’t be posting it to Youtube (at least not in this form).

On Thursday, Rodney was again camping at the campsite. That was his third time camping here in Forest!

Rodney, at the campsite: Ahoy. Rodney is my name, and traveling, singing very loudly, and dance are my passions three.

Yeah, you look like a real passionate person, Rodney. 😆

The January fishing tournament was held today, and I decided to participate in one run. I ended up catching seven fish in the three-minute span, and two of the fish were red snappers.

I caught a red snapper! Gotta keep this up!

The seven fish earned me a total of 9 points, and C.J. paid me 10,950 bells for my fish. I forgot to check if I had enough points for a prize, but that’s okay. They’ll carry over to next time. Not to mention, I’m sure I’ve received all the rewards before anyway.

As most of my villagers were fishing, I spotted a Rajah Brooke birdwing. Honestly, it feels a bit weird that such a big, fairly valuable butterfly is still available in the middle of winter. When I caught it, you could see Bob and Ankha concentrating on their fishing in the background. 😛

I caught a Rajah Brooke's birdwing! Nothing else I'd rajah be doing!

They weren’t having much luck catching any fish, as you might imagine.

Ankha: I'm not having much luck today, in my tomb! Where ARE all the fishies?

Because of the tournament, K.K. Slider did not visit for his usual Saturday night show.

Sunset on Bob’s Birthday

On Sunday, I built another perfect snowman and he sent me a snowperson head in the mail the next day. I decided to put it on, and I paired it with a snowflake sweater.

Tuesday was New Year’s Eve, and I found Isabelle and Tom Nook hanging out in the plaza. (Resident Services was closed for the day.)

Jeff stands between Isabelle and Tom Nook, as the countdown timer to the new year showed 4:44:44.

Isabelle gave me a light stick, and Tom Nook gave me some party poppers.

About 4 hours and 44 minutes later, I returned to watch the final countdown. Happy 2025!! 🥳

The fireworks read 2025 as Forest welcomes in the new year.

You may have noticed a balloon present in that last screenshot. I crossed the river and shot it down, only to find a globe inside.

Wednesday was New Year’s Day, of course, but it was also Bob’s birthday! I went over to his house for his party, and Merengue was also there. I gave Bob a raccoon figurine for his birthday gift…even though I forgot to wrap it.

Bob, at his birthday party: Oh wow, like... Whaa?! This is a raccoon figurine, right?!
Yes, and it’s already looking to collect on your mortgage payments. 😉

Later on, I spotted a beautiful sunset that I couldn’t resist staring at.

A beautiful sunset seen from the museum on the cliff.

It must’ve been so beautiful that it disoriented C.J.; I found him standing up on this tiny waterfall cliff near Peach Park. 😆

C.J. stands in an odd place, on a tiny cliff.

Tonight, I headed over to the plaza for K.K. Slider’s Saturday night show. I told him I was feeling blue, and he performed K.K. Dirge for me and Ankha.

K.K.: Feeling downbeat, huh? Well, let me lay that beat down, K.K. Dirge style.

Here are a few other quick notes about this week:

  • On Sunday, Wisp gave me a porcelain vase. Louie immediately asked to buy it for 1,975 bells, and I agreed.
  • I helped Gullivarrr Monday, and he sent me a pirate-treasure chest the next day.
  • Yesterday, I returned a lost book to Agent S. She rewarded me with a conductor’s cap.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend, everyone!

Toy Day, Zodiac Snake

First, just a quick heads-up that the zodiac snake figurine is now available in the “Special Goods” section of Nook Shopping. It can be ordered through January 5th, for just 1,600 bells. I ordered a few of them.

On Monday, I went out to Lottie’s Island to visit the hospital. But when I saw the beautiful sunset there, I had to stop for a few moments and just enjoy its beauty. 😍

Tuesday was Toy Day (Christmas Eve), so I made sure to find Jingle near the plaza.

Jingle: Ho HO!

I helped him out by crafting some wrapping paper, and he rewarded me with some Toy Day stockings. I hung them up in my house, and continued working on Jingle’s next request of delivering gifts to all of my villagers.

Static: Whaddays got in the bag, kiddo? You find some of Santa's old laundry? Heh, you like that one? Gahaha!
Yeah, and it’s got some static cling! You know anything about that?

A few of my villagers gave me gifts in return, but most did not. I successfully delivered gifts to all of my villagers.

Ankha: Oh! Was Santa indisposed, and you heroically swooped in to deliver presents in his stead? How dashing!

However, I made a mistake that I didn’t even realize until tonight as I’m writing this entry: I didn’t return to Jingle to get my reward (a Toy Day sleigh)! Oops! I forgot to wrap up the task, and I bet Jingle was snow disappointed in me!

Of course, I’ve completed the task before, and I have my four previous sleighs in storage already, so it’s not a huge deal. But still, I goofed. 😛

Oddly enough, I did remember something less obvious: I checked the stockings on Wednesday (Christmas Day) to find my photo of Jingle.

Jingle's photo was inside! How sneaky of Santa...

Louie asked me to play a treasure hunt game, and I found the treasure in just over a minute. Louie seemed shocked, and he gave me my prize: a shop uniform shirt.

Louie: You found it?

On Thursday, Huck the frog was camping over at the campsite. I was not interested in keeping him, so I sent him hopping on his way.

Huck, at the campsite: Heya! Are you from around here? I'm kinda on vacation, just relaxing and focus-grouping a few things...

Today, Agent S told me that sometimes she likes to take a deep breath and admire her garbage pail. 😆

Agent S: Sometimes I just stop what I'm doing, take a breath, and admire my garbage pail.

Here are a few other quick notes about this week:

  • On Wednesday, my savings balance reached 105 million bells.
  • Thursday, I made my 2nd perfect snowboy of the season. He sent me some ice flooring yesterday.
  • Agent S was sick with a cold yesterday, so I crafted her some medicine. She gave me a tee and towel in return.
  • I sold 26 bugs to Flick for a total of 123,750 bells.
  • Tonight, K.K. Slider performed “K.K. Fusion” for me and Static.

Have a happy New Year!
