Cocoa Face

Pascal was in town Monday, and he told me that the currents of life are unpredictable. He then gave me some sea view wallpaper before diving into the ocean.

Pascal: The currents of life are unpredictable, maaannn. Just watch out for riptide.

Hugh asked me for some orange furniture, so I gave him an oil drum. To me, it looks about as orange as orange can be. But Hugh refused to accept the gift, because it wasn’t orange enough for him. 😠

Hugh: I want something that gets my heart racing. Like orange furniture!
Then you get nothing.

Last night, I wished on a shooting star. Wishy responded to my wish with a letter in the mail that I received today. He sent me a plum bonsai. He might as well have given me prune juice. If it’s not a painting (or a throne), I really don’t care.

Deena is still sick, so I’ve continued giving her medicine this week.

Deena: It hurts to move. I don't even know why I'm still up. I should be in bed...

Snake was all packed up to move out of town today, but I convinced him to stay. Even though he already gave me his picture last week, it still seems too early to let him go. But I thought it was interesting that he had six of his boxes lined up in a row. 😂 That’s a bit unusual.

Six of Snake's moving boxes were lined up.
They were lined up vertically, so I guess it’s a column, not a row. 😛

When I ran into Bob, he told me that my face reminds him of cocoa. I don’t even know what that means. 😛 Bob might be a little crazy, but that’s okay. 😂

Bob: ...You know, your face kinda reminds me of that sweet, frothy cocoa...
He’s cuckoo for cocoa.

See you all next time!

Bunnie Bounced

Yesterday, I checked my mail and found a letter from Bunnie. At first, I thought maybe it was a valentine. However, it was definitely not a love letter…it was a goodbye letter. Bunnie bounced out of town, without warning. 🙁

Um, like, hi, Jeff, Thanks for being so nice to me in Forest! I'll cherish our memories forever! TOTALLY FOREVER! -Sincerely, Bunnie

When I spoke with Roscoe, he told me that Tom Nook always looks so spaced out. 😂 I love when villagers say insulting things about special characters. 😛

Roscoe: Nook always looks so spaced out, even when he's at the shop, in a barn!

I played again today, and there was already a new house in town! Inside, I found Hugh the blue pig.

Hugh: Huh huh huh! That's why everyone calls me Hugh the Romantic.

Hugh is a villager that I haven’t seen much in the series. I’ve had him in my GameCube game for a brief stay in 2018, and I think that’s about it. Well, now I’ll get a chance to know him a little better.

Deena has been sick with a cold, so I gave her some medicine yesterday and today. Get well soon, ducky!

Nookington’s had a spotlight product today: a throne. Even though Timmy told me it was a bargain at just 640,000 bells, I didn’t buy it. I just hate spending that kind of money, especially in the older games. That’s like a few months’ earnings for one item.

Timmy: It's a bargain at 640,000 bells!

As I started to write this blog entry, I let my character stand outside. It was a clear night, so I was hoping to catch a shooting star as I typed. 😛 But after a little while, I heard a different sound effect: A ping. Snake pinged me to give me his photo! 😮

Snake: Here! It's my photo! Awesome, huh, bunyip?

I was surprised, because it seems like I haven’t even talked to him very much. I’ve kinda been ignoring most of his requests, too. 😛 But I’ll still accept the pic. I took it home to take a look at it. His favorite quote is “Snake’s number one!”

Quote on Snake's pic: Snake's number one!

I wasn’t sure what to do with it though, so I ended up putting it on the floor in my mush furniture room. It’ll probably end up in storage eventually, because I don’t have much room in my house.

That’s all I have for tonight, but I’ll see you all next time.

Bright Nights 2022

Bright Nights week began on Monday. It’s the time of year where villagers decorate their houses with colored lights. There are also festive lights on many cedar trees around town.

Roscoe: People get into decorating their houses during Bright Nights, in a barn.

Bunnie’s house had three decorated trees nearby, even though I couldn’t get them all on-screen at once. 😛

Bunnie's decorated house for Bright Nights.

I voted for her house as the best one in town, and Tortimer seemed to agree with my choice.

Tortimer: Bunnie, huh? You have a very good eye there, guppy!

Word of my vote got back to Bunnie, and she was really happy about it. 🙂

Bunnie: I know! You must have voted for me!

I played again tonight, but I decided to vote for Deena’s house this time.

Deena's house decorated for Bright Nights 2022.

When I visited Cyrano, he told me that he recently had a cockroach on the tip of his nose! 😮

Cyrano: The other night I woke up and found one right here on the tip of my nose.

He was grossed out, but I’m not sure why. He eats insects, after all. Having one appear on the tip of your nose is like getting a free meal you don’t have to work for. Just suck it down! 😛

Bright Nights runs for the rest of the week (through Sunday night). Wild World is the only Animal Crossing game that has the event…and the only game that has decorated houses, so this is a good time to pick up your DS and check in on your town. 🙂

Tortimer: Snow, do your best! Mayor, beat your chest!

See you all next time! Happy Bright Nights!
