Bones vs. Goose

Today, I found a goodbye letter from Anchovy in the mail. He left without warning, and I’m sad to see him go after such a short stay in town (less than four months). But at least he gave me his photo two weeks ago to remember him by.

Oh, by the way, Jeff, Oh, hey! When I moved out of Forest, I took a tile from the plaza... Was Tortimer mad? I'm nervous! -Anchovy

Bones was talking about starting a bowling club here in Forest, but he said that people are so flaky that they’d probably never actually meet up. That’s probably true. 😆

Bones: Of course, people are so flaky we'll probably never get around to meeting.

Goose was walking around in the rain holding a net, and he was talking about catching moths. But he warned me to stay out of his way because this was his turf!

Goose: Yeah, well, this is my turf, so stay the heck outta my way, nutty!

Even though this was right outside his house, I had no interest in his moths. Besides, it was raining, so there aren’t even any moths out! Bug off, Goose.

Speaking of “Bug-Off,” there’s one coming up on Sunday. When I ran into Bones again near town hall, he told me he was preparing for it. He only hoped that the bugs could get his “excitenet.”

Bones: If the bugs just got my excitenet, I'd be set! Huh huh huh! Yip yip!
That’s even worse than my puns. 😛

After a quick stop at Wolfgang’s house, I encountered Bones and Goose again, this time in a conversation with each other. Bones was telling Goose that they looked alike, and always talked about working out, so they must both be in love with themselves. 😆 He didn’t sound sincere though, and it sounded like he was making fun of Goose (since Bones is a lazy villager, not a jock).

Bones: But you love yourself so much, you can't get enough of you, right, yip yip?

Goose was getting mad at Bones, and he even called him a jerk. 😆

Goose: Jerk!!! I've been telling you NO! That's not what I'm like, eeyah!

I was just laughing because it’s usually Goose that’s being a bully. He can dish it out, but he can’t take it. He always calls me lame for not wanting to catch his stupid bugs, and of course what he said earlier didn’t help my opinion of him either. If it’s Bones vs. Goose, I’m always on Team Bones. 💯

There was no UFO at 10:22 or 10:27 (and I was outdoors at both times), so I figured there would be no spaceships today. But that assumption was wrong. At 10:37, it came flying overhead from east to west. I was not prepared for it, but for once, I was actually able to get my slingshot out in time to shoot it down!

Gulliver: Just 5 more minutes, Mom.

I woke him up and retrieved his five UFO parts for him. In return, he gave me a plate armor (again). Since I already have one in my Gulliver room, I put this one into storage.

Even though there weren’t any moths out tonight, I did catch two bugs that are (much) better: A goliath beetle and a rainbow stag. I sold them, and I was able to get my savings account balance up to eight million bells.

Phyllis: Your balance is 50 billion bells! Just kidding! It's actually 8,000,000.

See you all next week! Never Stop Crossing! 🙂

Second Chance Gift

Thursday was Peanut’s birthday, but I didn’t remember that little fact until I walked into her house and she thanked me for coming. 😮

Peanut: Sparkles! I knew you'd show up, nutty! Don't be shy. C'mon in!

I kind of panicked, especially after I looked in my pockets and found nothing but tools. With nothing to give her as a gift, I tried something I don’t think I’ve ever done before: I left.

I ran to the shop, where a cement mixer was today’s spotlight product. That will have to do. I bought it, and returned to Peanut’s house, not knowing what to expect. But somewhat surprisingly, everything was fine! She asked if I had a present for her, and I handed over the cement mixer. She was actually quite happy about it.

Peanut: Like, no way! NO WAY! A cement mixer?! Whoa, nutty!

I guess as long as you don’t say no when she does ask for a present, it’s okay to leave and come back with a gift later. But anyway, Caroline was also at the party. I hope it wasn’t a squirrels-only party.

When I checked the bulletin board, I thought this birthday message for Peanut was rather funny…considering my gift.

-Happy Birthday- Happy B-day, Peanut! We hope that you'll stick around for a long, long time to come!

Goose has been sick with a cold this week, so I gave him some medicine Wednesday and Thursday. By yesterday, he was already over his cold! He gave me an ornate rug to thank me for the medicine.

Tonight, Eloise and Wolfgang were having a shouting contest near town hall. Even though their shouts weren’t audible to my human ears, Eloise must’ve had the loudest shouts of all. Wolfgang admitted defeat.

Wolfgang: Wow! That's quite a pair of lungs! I think the king of noise has been dethroned...

Caroline is the latest villager to get sick, so I gave her some medicine tonight.

Caroline: I just wanna yell from the rooftops, Jeff SAVED ME!

At the Roost, I accidentally chose the wrong option, asking to request a specific song from K.K. Slider. Oops!

K.K.: Enter a request.

I thought about it for a second, and then I asked him to perform K.K. Faire. I always enjoy that one.

Anchovy’s Pic

Yesterday, I received my weekly HRA letter in the mail. My score is up to 270k after adding Caroline’s pic to my room last week.

Jeff, your room gets 270,564 points! You've acquired enough pieces to ear extra points! A lucky bonus! -Happy Room Academy

I listened in on a conversation between Mitzi and Eloise near town hall, and Mitzi asked Eloise advice on how to be more blunt. Eloise responded by telling Mitzi her hair looked dumb.

Eloise: ...Mitzi, your hair looks dumb, nutty.

Mitzi was caught off guard by that, as you can imagine. 😛 But Eloise continued, saying Mitzi just needs to tell everyone what’s wrong with them, and not care what anyone thinks.

Eloise: The world needs people like me to tell everyone what's wrong with them!

Over by the museum, Anchovy surprised me by giving me his picture! He has lived in town since February though, so it’s not as big of a surprise as getting Caroline’s pic last week. It is nice, though. Thanks, Anchovy!

Anchovy: so, sunshine, has anyone ever given you their picture before?

The left room of my house has now reached maximum capacity, so I wasn’t able to place Anchovy’s pic down until I moved something else. (I put Wolfgang’s pic in storage.) Anyway, Anchovy’s favorite quote is “I’m hungry.” 😛

Since I removed one pic to place another, this shouldn’t change my HRA score any further.

Today, as I was reading my mail, I heard the UFO flying overhead (before I was ready)! It was flying from left to right. As quickly as I could, I equipped my slingshot, went over the bridge to the north, and ran east as fast as I could. I almost caught up to the UFO, but it was just out of reach by the time I hit the east wall. Oof.

The flea market is coming up on Saturday, and Eloise was talking about it. She said that last time, she made Bones buy a trash can from her. 😛

Eloise: Last time I made Bones buy a trash can!

She said she can’t wait to see what she’ll make someone buy this time. She’s really showing her snooty side lately.

Peanut asked me to deliver a letter to Wolfgang, and he really enjoyed it! He even said it warms his cold, crabby heart! 😆

Wolfgang: Hm... That really warms my cold, crabby heart.

Peanut later rewarded me with a pastel dot wall.

That’s all for today, but I’m planning on posting my next Wild World video this weekend. See you next time!
