Tonight, Kiki reminded me that the fireworks festival is coming up on Saturday night. I’ll try to check them out. City Folk and New Leaf have fireworks on Sundays in August instead of Saturdays, so it’s kind of good that they’re not all on the same nights.

Over the past month, I’ve been fortunate enough to catch a new bug and/or fish each time I’ve played. And that trend has continued, as I caught my first tarantula tonight!

Crazy Redd was in town today, and I bought this common painting from him for 3,920 bells.

A new message of the week was posted on the bulletin board. Apparently, genius smells terrible. 😛

There was also a new “Talking to Myself” post. It looks like somebody is using the bulletin board to try to get a date. 😛

Static was still sick, so I took him some medicine yet again. But he needs to get himself together. I’m not going to take care of him forever. 😛

At the museum, I donated my tarantula…and also my common painting. That’s right, it was the real deal! 🙂

Once I was done making my rounds, I started catching more bugs and fish. I was able to catch a scorpion. It’s pretty rare for me to catch a tarantula and scorpion in an Animal Crossing game on the same night! I already had a scorpion in my museum though, so I was able to sell this one for 8,000 bells.

But other than that, I wasn’t having as much luck with rare catches as I did last time. But I was able to make a 50,000 bell mortgage payment at town hall before wrapping up my game for the night.

I’ll be back with another entry on Saturday night, with my first Wild World fireworks festival. See you then!

It was raining in town, and I was okay with that. But the rain seemed to put Hopper in a poetic mood.

Static was still sick, so I gave him some medicine once again. He seemed very grateful and full of snot.

Big Top asked me what he should have for his after-dinner beverage. Before I could answer, he said RAIN…in his ears! Ew! Never drink rain water out of your own ears! Or anyone else’s ears, for that matter.

When I visited Rhonda, I saw that she was all packed up and ready to move out of town! I’m not a big fan of Rhonda or anything, but I didn’t want her to leave this early. It’s only been a month. I haven’t had a chance to bug her much yet.

I spotted Dr. Shrunk in town, and he offered to teach me a new emotion. I chose sorrow.

I took advantage of the rain by fishing for a coelacanth. And eventually, I actually caught one!

After donating it to the museum, I continued fishing and bug-catching. I didn’t catch another coelacanth, but I did catch some other valuable fish and bugs. I was finding a lot of atlas beetles in particular.

When I was done, I took the money from my catches up to town hall. I made my largest mortgage payment yet, an even 100,000 bells.

Static was still sick with a cold tonight, so I gave him some medicine once again.

Crazy Redd was in town again, but he wasn’t of much help to me. That’s because he had the same art (the lovely painting) that he had last week! Since I already have the real one in the museum, I had no need for this one.

Outside of the museum, I listened in on a conversation between Kiki and Baabara. Kiki performed her impression of Baabara…to Baabara! She made fun of how insulting Baabara can be. It was pretty funny.

But then Baabara wanted to do her impression of Kiki. In her mind, Kiki apparently wants to be a “pretty princess” like Baabara! Ha!

Kiki didn’t understand, so Baabara said it was her impression of the “inner” Kiki.

This angered Kiki, and she stormed off, ending the conversation.

After making a 40,000 bell mortgage payment, I headed down to the beach for some fishing and bug-catching. I managed to find one new bug, the giant beetle.

After donating it to the museum, I wrapped up my game for the night.
