Opera Singer Extraordinaire?

I listened in on a conversation between two cats holding umbrellas tonight. Ankha was telling Punchy that today wasn’t her day, and Punchy suggested a solution: Eating fried ice cream until his stomach hurts.

Punchy: It's great because it tastes yummy AND the pain makes me forget allll my other problems.

Ankha appreciated the suggestion, and she told Punchy to let her know if she can do anything in return…in a pyramid.

Ankha: If there's anything I can do in return, just say the word, in a pyramid.

Punchy asked if she minded if he started using her catchphrase, “in a pyramid.” Of course, Ankha didn’t mind, so now they’re both using it. It doesn’t make much sense for Punchy to use it, but oh well. 😛

When I visited Marina, she asked me a very odd question: She asked if I was an opera-singing superstar!?

Marina: Were you a really huge superstar, with a string of opera hits?

What on earth gave her that idea? Surely it isn’t this outback hat and shirt with camera? 😆

Resident Representative… and Opera Singer Extraordinaire?

Over by Resident Services, Bones apparently just learned about wishing on shooting stars. 😛 But he planned to wish that he could hang out with his best snack buddy (me) more often. Awww, Bones. Let’s hang out, buddy. 🤗

Bones: Next time I see one, I'm gonna wish to hang out with my bestest snack buddy more often!

Flick was in town tonight, and I had a dozen bugs to sell him this time (mostly wasps and scorpions). He paid me 66,900 bells for them all.

Diving for three sea creatures was one of my Nook Miles+ goals, so I did just that. My second catch was a scallop, and Pascal popped up to ask for it. He started talking about his hat…

Pascal: This hat's been hugging my head for a loooooong time now. In a few more years, it's gonna feel kinda awkward.
If it doesn’t already, why would it in a few more years?

Not exactly his wisest bit of dialogue, and definitely not among my favorite lines. (These are better, in my opinion.) By the way, he gave me a pearl for the scallop.

Have a great weekend, everyone! Enjoy Tears of the Kingdom if you’ll be playing it like I will! 🙂

Bones on the Floor

On Monday, I helped Gullivarrr retrieve his phone. To thank me, he sent me a sea captain’s coat in the mail Tuesday.

I found a new D.I.Y. recipe on the beach, for an iron ladder set-up kit. This is one I would’ve liked to use for my space race last year. (By the way, how has that been a whole year already? It doesn’t even seem possible.) But regardless, I’m glad to have it now.

Tuesday, C.J. was in town with a seasports challenge for me. I caught three big-time fish in a row: a zebra turkeyfish, a sea bass, and a barred knifejaw. That completed the challenge, and I sold them to C.J. for 8,850 bells. Unfortunately, I didn’t have any good fish in storage to sell him.

Last night, I helped out Wisp and he gave me a rolling cart.

Tonight, right as I was about to hit the money rock, Static plopped down on the ground where my hole was supposed to go. So I just dug one hole and banged the rock. Fortunately, I still got the maximum amount of bells.

Label was in the plaza today, and she wanted to see me wearing an outdoorsy outfit. She gave me a shirt with camera to use as an example, and I put it on. I also went home and added some outdoor shorts, an outback hat, some sporty shades, and some trekking shoes.

Before I could take a breath, Bones barged into my house. Of course. I talked to him a couple of times, and he gave me an orange. After a bit, he sat down on my floor…so I joined him.

He left after a couple of minutes, and I headed back to Label. She loved my outfit, and she gave me a Labelle hat.

Label: ...A Labelle hat, you see. It's from my brand.

Rio’s Night at the Museum

On Thursday, Pecan was camping over at the campsite. This town already has two squirrels though, so I don’t think we need any more.

Pecan: well, you're not a shy one, are you? My name's Pecan. How kind of you to stop by.

Tonight, I found a lost bag that was covered with buttons and pins of pop stars. I knew it belonged to a peppy villager, so I asked Ketchup about it…but she said it was Rio’s.

Ketchup: Sorry, lucky, this isn't mine. It's pretty cool and I'd REALLY like to keep it, but--yeah, not mine.

Unfortunately, Rio was a bit hard to track down. She wasn’t home or anywhere outdoors. But I eventually found her in the art gallery, at the museum. She rewarded me with a jester costume.

Rio: Aaaaand check it out! It's a jester costume! I hope you like it!
She dressed up for her night at the museum.

K.K. Slider was in town, and I told him I was feeling a bit blue. So he performed K.K. Chorale for me, Punchy, Agent S, and Midge.

Here are a few other quick notes about the last few days:

  • I sold Flick 37k worth of bugs on Thursday.
  • Celeste gave me a Taurus fragment.
  • My savings balance reached 57 million bells yesterday (5/5).
Savings Balance: 57,000,000 bells

Enjoy the rest of your weekend, and I’ll see you next time! Keep an eye out for my latest video, New Horizons Moments #20, coming soon!
