Gull With No Name

Yesterday, Peanut wanted to have a competition to see who could catch a horse mackerel first. Since that’s a common fish, I was up to the challenge.

Peanut: Ah, to find the perfect horse mackerel... That would be DREAMY...

It took me a few minutes of fishing, but I did catch the horse mackerel. When I took it over to Peanut, she admitted defeat and gave me a stone tile as my prize.

Hugh wanted to give me a new nickname, and he called me J-bot! I remember first hearing that nickname in City Folk, and I’ve always liked it. 🤖

Hugh, giving me a new nickname: Yeah! It's J-bot. Isn't it just perfect, nay?

Shortly after midnight, I wished on a shooting star. Today, a letter from Wishy arrived in the mail; he sent me a sleeping bag. 😴

I spotted something else up in the sky today: Gulliver’s UFO! I shot it down, and then spoke to the pilot…who couldn’t remember his name. 😛

Gulliver: My name is...is... Wait a minute... I can't remember my name!

After I reminded him who he was (his name is supposedly embroidered on his space suit), he asked me to find the missing parts of his UFO.

When I ran into Peanut, she mentioned the fish I caught for her yesterday: She said since putting it in her room, she feels like a pretty underwater creature. 😂

Peanut: Ever since I put fish in my room, I feel like a pretty underwater creature!

It took me a long time to find the 5th UFO part. But once I did track it down, I returned all the parts to Gulliver. He rewarded me by giving me a Tower of Pisa. Unfortunately, that’s another duplicate item (my third Tower of Pisa, to be exact). It may still take me years to complete my collection of Gulliver items. 😣

Have a good weekend! See you next week!

Sandwich in a Puddle

On Sunday afternoon, I received my latest evaluation from the Happy Room Academy. My house scored a whopping 242,888 points! Just adding that rocket added about 30,000 points to my score, because it completed the space set! I’m pretty sure this is the highest house score I’ve had in any Animal Crossing game.

Jeff, your room gets 242,888 points! Stylish! Elegant! SASSY! No matter where you look, this is a PERFECT room!!! -Happy Room Academy

I then recorded a tour of my house. You can see that video right here:

Tom Nook has been going through his “petriperm” dialogue again lately. I’ve shown it in the blog before, but there is one part I don’t think I’ve shown previously: His comment about “woolgathering.” I wasn’t familiar with the word, but I have to admit it fits in well for a game about animals.

Tom Nook: Oh dear, terribly sorry. Forgive my woolgathering. Can I help you, hm?

Tonight, Hugh told me that he thinks about difficult things in his life when he takes a walk. He told me that one time, he dropped his sandwich in a puddle.

Hugh: Like this one time, I dropped my sandwich in a puddle. It scarred me.

But you’re a pig! Don’t you basically live in a puddle? Somehow, I don’t think a pig would actually mind such a thing.

Cyrano asked me to deliver a letter to Snake, and he only gave me ten minutes to do it. I found Snake pretty quickly, and he was eager to read the letter…because it might be an “urgent muscle emergency.”

Snake: This could be an urgent muscle emergency! I better read it now, aaurgh!

When I returned to Cyrano, he rewarded me with a bamboo wall (in his nose).

I’ll be back with another entry next week. Hope to see you then! 🙂

Rocket, Yeah!

Yesterday, I received a letter from Wishy in the mail (regarding the shooting star I wished on Friday night). He sent me a cabana armchair this time.

Olivia was finally over her cold, and she thanked me for the medicine by giving me a mop. Ooh, I’m dripping with excitement. 🙄

Olivia: Please take my mop!

Today, Snake was telling me about…his lipstick?!

Snake: Oh, killer timing! Listen, it's about my lipstick...

He said he was always crashing into it while working out, and he was going to give it to me. But then, he couldn’t find it. 🤷‍♂️

Deena asked me to deliver a gift to Peanut, and I was happy to help out. Peanut opened it up and found a big dot shirt inside. She loved it, but she didn’t seem to notice that she was already wearing a big dot shirt. 😂

Peanut: A big dot shirt! Wow! Doona knows EXACTLY what I want, huh?
How could she have even known? 😛

So Peanut promptly changed into the new big dot shirt. 😛 When I returned to Deena, she thanked me with a ranch wall.

As I was walking into Crazy Redd’s tent, a shooting star flew overhead. I wasn’t able to wish on it, unfortunately. I think this is the cloudiest sky that I’ve seen a shooting star fly through.

A shooting star appears on a fairly cloudy night.

But missing the star didn’t dampen my spirits for long. That’s because Redd had a rocket for sale! That’s the last of the space items that I needed!

Redd: Now, you see? That there rocket is a very rare piece!

I bought it and took it home; my space room is now complete! That means I can finally record my house tour soon! However, I’ll wait until next week to do that, because I want to see how the space set affects my HRA score. I’ll include that HRA letter in the video.

Back outside, Cyrano said that Deena is like yogurt parfait that’s come to life. I don’t even know what that means. Is he saying she’s sweet? Is he saying he wants to eat her? I can’t figure this guy out sometimes. 😛

Cyrano: I think Deena is like yogurt parfait that's come to life!

See you all next time! Never Stop Crossing! 🙂
