Rainy Week

It was raining on Monday, so I decided to use a tailors ticket to buy a raincoat. I also ended up buying a matching wrestling mask. 😛

Mabel: Looking sharp! Thanks so much!

I later found Midge hanging out in Marina’s house (at the site of Midge’s former house) once again. She even said the house seemed so comfortable. Why do I get the feeling this feud is about to escalate, and I’m going to find a dead octopus buried on the beach one of these days? I hope I’m wrong. 😛

Midge: Her home is just so...comfortable! Maybe that's because I get along so well with Marina...

It’s been raining most of the week, and all the excess flower buds popping up are starting to drive me crazy. But I took advantage of one positive aspect of the rain last night: I caught a coelacanth.

Me, holding a coelacanth: Blast from the past!

Surprisingly, I’ve learned two new recipes this week! Static taught me how to make a tomato bagel sandwich on Monday, and Marina gave me a recipe for veggie cupcakes last night. I just haven’t bothered to make either of them yet. Oops.

YUM! Now I can make some veggie cupcakes!

Today, C.J. was in town, and he wanted me to catch three big-time fish. So I caught two black bass and a dace to complete the seasports challenge. Those fish didn’t sell for much of course, but C.J. paid me 22,500 just for my coelacanth alone. 🙂

C.J.: Way to wreck that seasports challenge! What a haul!

Here are a few other quick notes about this week:

  • On Sunday, I caught a man-faced stink bug for Static, and he gave me another copy of his photo.
  • Wisp gave me some hanging stage lights Sunday night, and a pink painted-wood wall tonight.
  • Gullivarrr was in town yesterday, and he sent me a pirate rug today.

Stamp Rally 2023

It was raining in Forest tonight, and Rio warned me to be careful.

Rio: We've got a rainy night tonight! Have fun out here, but be super careful, viva!

Over at the plaza, I joined Static for K.K. Slider’s Saturday night show. K.K. D&B was the random song tonight.

K.K.: Right on. I'm tuned up and ready to roll. Who's in the mood for a little K.K. D&B?

Up on Rainbow Road, I ran into Midge. She seemed a little too excited about digging holes and plunging her shovel into the pristine ground. Is she thinking about digging a grave for Marina? 😮

Midge: Doesn't it feel great, just digging? That feeling, when your shovel first breaks the ground, is just...sublime.
I feel like this is the start of her becoming a serial killer.

The Stamp Rally is underway, and I found the stations in the art gallery.

The 18th and 19th centuries brought us rococo and romanticism. I could stare at those styles all day!

After collecting all the art stamps, I redeemed my card for an art plaque. Of course, I’ve earned these before, so I didn’t feel the need to stamp my cards for the other galleries.

Just a few other quick notes about the last few days:

  • On Thursday, I sold my remaining turnips for 155 bells apiece.
  • I also sold five bugs to Flick for 44k.
  • Yesterday, I sold 15k worth of fish to C.J.

See you all next time!

Coconut Tomato Hybrid

On Sunday, Kyle the wolf was camping at the campsite. He’s pretty cool, but I didn’t invite him to town.

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

Tuesday, Midge was hanging out around Marina’s house. In other words, the spot where she used to live.

Midge hanging out in front of Marina's house.

I think she wants her old house plot back, but how far is she willing to go? I’m afraid she’s going to murder Marina and make calamari out of her. She’s clearly up to something!

Label was in town, and she wanted to see me in an everyday outfit. She gave me a camo bomber-style jacket as an example to use. I put it on, but I also added some denim pants, a plain cap, some octagonal glasses, and some pleather sneakers.

My 'everyday' look for Label.

I am definitely not a fan of this look, but fortunately, Label loved it. She rewarded me with some Labelle shorts, and then I changed out of those clothes immediately. 😛

Today, Bones was talking about how much he loves spring. He said it was like a green fall. 😛

Bones: I love spring. It's warmer than winter and cooler than summer. It's like a...green...fall.

Ketchup was sitting on the beach, and I went over to talk to her. But when I did, I accidentally shook a coconut tree…and it looked like her entire body was a coconut.

Ketchup: How are you, lucky? I'm taking a FAB break! That's short for Fantastic Awesome Break.

It’s the first coconut/tomato hybrid. 😉 Instead of Mr. Potato Head, she must be Miss Tomato Head. 😛

A few other notes about the last several days:

  • Saturday, K.K. Slider performed K.K. Hop for me, Louie, Ketchup, and Punchy.
  • Wisp gave me an upright organizer Sunday.
  • I helped Gulliver Monday, and he sent me a katana on Tuesday.

See you next time!
