Today, I found a goodbye letter from Drift in the mail. He has hopped out of town without warning. Was he upset that I didn’t use his song as the town tune last week?

When I spoke with Pippy, she referenced the fact that two people live in my house. Villager is the other person, and I only created him to unlock spotlight items at Nook’s shop.

She then went on to assume that Villager is cute?

She wanted me to introduce them, but that’s probably not going to happen.

Over by the museum, Truffles mentioned that Blathers wanted to be a pro archaeologist.

She then said it seems like everyone has skeletons in the closet. And that made me wonder what was so wrong about wanting to be an archaeologist? But then, it hit me. Maybe she was making a pun. After all, it’s reasonable to think an aspiring archaeologist might literally have skeletons in their closet.

Filbert was sick with a cold today, so I gave him some medicine. Get well soon!

Later, I headed over to the Roost. K.K. Slider performed “Imperial K.K.” for me.

Before wrapping up my game for the night, I decided to make a few laps around the “lake,” to look for a gar. On about my 5th trip around, I caught one!

I’ll be saving this one for Wendell, so I put it in my house for now. Hopefully I’ll remember it the next time Wendell shows up.

Saharah was in town on Wednesday, and I helped her out with a couple of deliveries. I took carpet packages to Blathers and Pelly (for Phyllis) for her. Saharah rewarded me with a blue tarp.

Caroline told me that she found Blathers sleeping standing up in the museum (not a surprise). She also mentioned that he can spin his head in crazy directions.

I knew real owls could do that, but it would be funny if Blathers actually did that in the game. 🦉

Filbert asked me for a fossil “with legs” (because of his catchphrase), so I gave him a dimetrodon torso. He was very happy with it, and he put it on display right away.

He thanked me with a lunar rover, which is a pretty cool reward.

On Thursday, it was raining in town. Truffles randomly announced that she’s not into judo when it rains. I’m pretty sure she’s not into judo when it’s dry either, so I don’t quite understand her point. 😛

Today is La-Di-Day, the day villagers will sing songs in hopes of having their song being chosen as the new town tune. Drift was the first to sing to me…

However, his song didn’t stand out to me. I didn’t hire him, but Whitney was also nearby…

She sang the Mario theme for me, and I hired her…even though I’ve used the Mario song as my town tune before. However, I didn’t keep it very long. Robin also performed a song for me, and it sounded familiar (though I’m not sure what it was). I hired her, and her mystery song is now Forest’s town tune.

A few minutes later, a 4th animal sang to me…but not for a town tune. It was K.K. Slider, and he performed “K.K. Dirge” for me at the Roost. I guess we are getting closer to Halloween time, after all.

Filbert came down with a cold, so I gave him some medicine Thursday and again tonight. Get well soon, little guy!

I wrapped up my night at town hall, where I checked out the notes for the new town tune.

If any of you want to try it out, feel free! Of course, town tunes work in any Animal Crossing game, not just Wild World. Maybe you’ll recognize what it’s from!

On Thursday, I received my monthly bank statement in the mail. I earned 85,400 bells in interest this month.

Robin showed me a letter she received, and it tells how to avoid looking like a fool. 😆

Wendell was in town, and that reminded me that I still need two fish for the patterns I wanted from him. Unfortunately, one of them (the giant snakehead) is already out of season. But I went fishing to look for the other one, a gar. But after 40 minutes of searching, I never found one. However, I did catch a dorado and two arapaimas (among other fish), so it wasn’t a total loss.

Yesterday, Filbert asked me for a new catchphrase, as he had a flea on him. So I told him to say “with legs,” and then I caught his flea for him. The new phrase has resulted in some absurd statements from him already, and I’m looking forward to hearing more. 😆

Drift came down with a cold yesterday; he has a frog in his throat. 🐸 So I gave him some medicine yesterday, and again today. Get well soon, Drift!

Today was Flea Market day. Curt said he doesn’t know anything about flea markets, but he said leftovers always sound good to him. 😛

When I visited Pippy’s house (or…shop), she wanted me to buy something from her. She didn’t want to sell her fish though, so I ended up buying her sprinkler for 590 bells.

I ran into Robin outside, and she said there’s something about used furniture that’s so warm. Maybe because somebody was just sitting in it. 😛

I decided to buy something from Filbert, but almost everything I asked about, he didn’t want to sell! But he eventually relented and let me buy his fern fossil for 1,000 bells.

My next Wild World video episode is coming soon, so keep an eye out for it!
