Last Saturday, I listened in on a conversation between my peppy squirrels, Agent S and Peanut. Peanut decided to start using Agent S’s catchphrase, “in Wii Fit.”

Agent S replied that the phrase fits Peanut like yoga pants! Very fitting.

On Tuesday, Tex the penguin was camping in town. This was his third time camping here, and I’m still not interested. 😛

Yesterday, I ran into Pascal while diving. He told me that the present is the past, because his sentence will already be in the past by the time he finished it. 😛 But more interestingly, this had to have been one of Pascal’s closest visits to the shore. I could even see the sand on the beach behind him (and Merengue, who was resting under a coconut tree).

He gave me a pearl for my scallop.

Today, the fall fishing tournament was held. I participated in one run, and it wasn’t going well. At one point, Kid Cat was blocking my path…and when I tried to go around him, my character jumped and scared a fish away (and I still couldn’t get around Kid Cat). Then later, I pressed the button too soon and scared another fish away. So I only ended up catching five fish.

The good news is that two of my fish (a red snapper and a pike) were semi-valuable catches, so I was able to sell the haul for a decent price (8,880 bells).

But my seven points earned weren’t enough to net a new prize (even with one previous point already in my pool). Oh well. I didn’t care enough to play a 2nd round though. 😛

Here are a few other quick notes about the past week or so:

• Last Saturday, K.K. Slider performed “K.K. Mambo” for me, Bob, and Bones.
• I helped out Wisp on Tuesday, and he gave me a nightgown. Sorry Wisp, but I’m not going to model it for you. 😛
• Louie was sick on Wednesday, so I gave him some medicine. In return, he gave me a box sofa.
• I helped out Gulliver, and he sent me a South Pole on Thursday.

See you next time! Never Stop Crossing!

After making some coconut milk on Tuesday, I hit a new milestone: 5 million Nook Miles!

Yesterday, I ran into Pascal while diving. He gave me a pearl in exchange for my scallop, but he also had some words of wisdom: He told me that if I need to say something hard, make sure it comes from a place of love…or a place of pizza.

I’ve noticed that Pascal has several quotes that involve pizza. He’s making me hungry, maaan. 🍕

Today, I found a message bottle from Soleil on the beach. It contained a recipe for pull-apart bread. Several minutes later, June taught me the exact same recipe! Dough-ja vu! What a coincidence!

When I went to visit Bob, he asked if I had a laser and a spaceship. He was making fun of my zap suit!

He’s supposed to be my friend! He’s probably just jealous of me, Agent S, and Kid Cat. 😛

Here are a few other quick notes about this week:

• On Sunday, K.K. Slider performed “Imperial K.K.” for me, Bob, and Agent S.
• C.J. was in town on Tuesday, and I sold him 16 fish for 155,475 bells.
• Today, I returned a lost bag to Merengue. She rewarded me with a pullover jacket.
• Flick was in town, and I sold him 18 bugs for 101,250 bells.

Today I posted my (almost) monthly train animation showing my villager arrivals and departures for the month. Check it out!

Monday (September 22nd) was Ankha’s birthday, and I headed over to her house for her party. I gave her a hyacinth lamp that I crafted for her. She loved it!

Forest’s newest resident Kid Cat was also at the party.

On Wednesday, Julian the unicorn was camping at the campsite for the third time. Even though I like him, I did not ask him to move in. But I did play a game with him, and I won a free rattan table lamp.

The next day, I had a chat with Louie and he looked up at an odd angle. He was looking up at his double-sided wall clock, but it looked weird.

Yesterday, I saw my two superheroes stretching outside of Resident Services. I joined in, and Peanut did as well. Watch out for us, we’re the Avengers. 😉

Today, the final Bug-Off of the year was held. Static told me he was going to go all-out to win, but he’ll try to leave a few (small) bugs for me. 😛

Bones was taking a more laid-back approach.

I played one round of the competition, and I caught 12 bugs. That was good for 14 points.

I sold the 12 bugs for 4,260 bells, and then I redeemed 10 points for a spider doorplate. Since it’s almost October, I put that on my door. I moved my lucky horseshoe door decoration to inside my house.

After I sold my fossils and some other stuff, I had enough money to kick my savings balance up to a new milestone: 125 million bells.

Here are a few other quick notes about this week:

• On Tuesday, I sold 18 bugs to Flick for 96,000 bells.
• Wednesday, I sold 17 fish to C.J. for 181,350 bells.
• I helped out Gullivarrr on Thursday, and he sent me another pirate bandanna.
