Merlion

Pascal was in town on Friday, but I didn’t have any scallops to give him this time. He told me some wise words about diamonds, and he gave me some sea view wallpaper before jumping into the ocean.

Pascal: Some diamonds...are used to cut other diamonds. Stew on that, maaannn.

On Monday, I received Rolf’s goodbye letter in the mail. He said he was “free at last.” I feel the same way about him. Jerk.

It's good-bye, Jeff, Hey, I moved! Yeah, sorry for not telling you where I'm going, but you'll just cry or something. -Free at last, Rolf

Today, a UFO flew by mere seconds after I started up the game. Fortunately, I was ready for it, and two of my three slingshot pellets made contact with the spaceship.

Shooting down Gulliver's UFO in ACWW.

Gulliver asked me if I knew anything about a text message he received that simply said “Don’t look back.”

Gulliver: I got a text message on my cell phone! (I know, I get stellar reception.)

I had nothing to do with that, but I appreciated his “stellar” pun. It’s out of this world! 😉

Kid Cat asked to have a competition to see who could catch a red dragonfly first. Since those are pretty common, I was up to the challenge. It barely took me a minute to find one, and Kid Cat seemed a bit mad that I caught it so quickly.

Kid Cat: There's no WAY I'm losing to you next time, psst!

But he still rewarded me with an asteroid.

I found a note in a bottle on the beach, and it contained a poem (a haiku) about springtime. It’s called “Before the Summer.”

Before the Summer. A peach tree blooms pink. A warm breeze rustles the leaves. Spring unfolds its arms. -The Traveling Poet

I gave Olivia some more medicine on Friday, and then again on Monday. She was finally feeling better today. She gave me a cabana wall to thank me for the medicine.

The latest “Talking to Myself” post on the bulletin board consisted of the author seemingly bragging about their salary. Unless of course, those zeroes mentioned are the only digits in the number. 😛

-Talking to Myself- Do you want to know what my base salary is? I can't tell you exactly, but there are lots of zeroes!

Once I gathered up all of the UFO parts, I returned them and Gulliver rewarded me with a Merlion. It’s one of my favorite Gulliver items!

My new Merlion sprays water on my Jacob's ladder.

Rolf’s replacement has not moved in yet, but I imagine that will happen in a day or two. Once it does, I’ll be back with another entry. Hope to see you then!
