On Sunday night, Wisp was in town. After I gathered up his spirits for him, he gave me a public telephone.

On Monday night, Sasha was almost ready for bed when I visited. He wondered what Santa Claus does in March. His hat looked like a Santa’s hat, just not red. So I wonder if that’s what made him think of Santa. 🎅

He concluded that Santa probably takes the elves on a tropical vacation where they eat from a mile-long sundae bar, and go on shark rides for fun.

Yesterday, Rio seemingly complimented my Halloween costume. She even asked if it was movie makeup.

But she was actually referring to a wasp sting on my face! She apologized for calling me a monster, even though it still would have been appropriate due to the costume. 😉

A bit later, Marina gave me some medicine for the sting. But instead of using it myself, I gave it to Agent S, who was sick with a cold. She gave me a mug for helping out. And I continued walking around with a swollen eye. 😛

That’s about the only way to get villagers to be a bit rude in this game, other than hurting them. 😛

Today, I helped out Gullivarrr by diving into the ocean and retrieving his communicator.

I also worked a bit more on my race, and it’s about 90% done. I may finish it up over the weekend and have some races early next week, if all goes well. It is a fairly simple course though, so it’s definitely not the most elaborate race. But at least it doesn’t have a bunch of things that need to be reset after each race, unlike some previous courses I’ve made.

Anyway, I recently posted my latest New Horizons Moments video. Check it out!

On Thursday, Gulliver sent me a tubeteika in the mail. Later, I (finally) started working on my new race course. It’s actually not the one I was originally planning for September, but I had an idea for something different instead.

Tonight, K.K. Slider was in town, and I told him I was in a good mood. So he played K.K. Groove for me, Ketchup, Static, and Bones.

I haven’t been giving Rio many gifts, even though I still need to earn her photo. I need to pick up the pace! 😛 So I gave her a snare drum tonight, and she seemed to enjoy it.

She gave me a kung-fu tee in return. I enjoyed it significantly less than she enjoyed the drum. 😆

I then found Agent S in an unusual place: the north beach. The camera switch to an awkward overhead view as she told me about the comic she’s currently reading. It’s a comic about stand-up comics. 😛

She said she’s considering adding a stand-up routine to her repertoire. Sounds good!

I’ll be working more on my new race over the next several days or so, but I’m not sure when it will be done. But stay tuned for updates!

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Last Saturday, Gullivarrr sent me a pirate’s hat in the mail, and K.K. Slider performed K.K. Break for his Saturday night show.

On Sunday, I bought this mining car at Paradise Planning. It would make a good addition to Donkey Kong Country! If I ever fully rebuild that area, of course.

Today, Bree the mouse was camping at the campsite. I had no interest in inviting her to town.

Gulliver was washed up on the beach, and I helped him out by recovering his phone parts.

Tonight, I headed over to Matthew’s town Fernwood. He was holding a surprise birthday party/costume party for Jac. I was the first one there, but Nami and Nicky also joined in. By 11:00, the guest of honor (Jac) arrived. He was surprised to be greeted by an ant imp, mummy, witch/cat, and skeleton. 😆

A bit later, Matthew was away from the group when he said he saw “something funny here.” I figured he was just trying to lure one of us into a pitfall. 😛 But that wasn’t it at all; he found Pietro the clown sheep, wearing a pirate bandanna, frowning and cooking. 😱

Matthew had a Halloween-themed obstacle course that I thought we were going to race on. But he asked if we had pitfall seeds on us, and we didn’t. Matthew disappeared for a while, and I thought he was crafting pitfall seeds, but we never got back to it. But the course looked pretty cool from what I saw of it.

We later went to class, and I failed the test somehow!

That’s not fair! I stayed up so late studying that I was dead tired in the morning! 😉 (And yes, we were making skeleton puns all night.) 😆

We hung out at various spots around town, we drank some coffee at the Roost, and we eventually made it to Matthew’s house for Jac’s party. Happy birthday, Jac! 🎂

Matthew ended the session around 12:40 (my time). I had a lot of fun, so thanks to Matthew for hosting, and thanks to everyone who came for the good time! 🙂

See you all next time!
