La-Di-Day 2023

On Wednesday, I received my latest HRA score in the mail. I scored 267,364 points. While that is my highest score yet, it’s only up a couple hundred points over my previous score. So that mermaid statue last week didn’t help as much as I thought it would.

Today is La-Di-Day, the day when villagers will “sing” for you, hoping that you choose their song as the new town tune. Pretty much all of my villagers were talking about the event, and poor Bones said he was losing his voice from practicing so much.

Bones: CRACKLE HUHWEEZE... I'm losing my voice from all this singing!
Goose: No WAY this husky voice of mine isn't gonna make the new town tune, nutty!
Wanna bet?

But Anchovy was the first one to sing for me, and his tune sounded a bit familiar to me. Maybe I’ve used it before? Anyway, I selected his song as my new town tune…and that made his day.

Anchovy: All right! Thanks a million, sunshine! I'm gonna go gloat to Wolfgang now.

I decided to stick with his song and not listen to any others. Anchovy isn’t one of my favorite villagers, but I’ll let him have this moment. (I can be nice once in a while.) 😛

Down at the Roost, K.K. Slider played a lullaby for me. Don’t put me to sleep, maaannn! 😴

K.K.: All right, get ready to dig the riffs on this ditty: K.K. Lullaby!

Caroline was still sick with a cold, so I gave her more medicine Wednesday, Thursday, yesterday, and again tonight. When you include last Friday, that is five doses of medicine I’ve given her. This is getting a bit excessive. 😛

See you all next time!

Space Mermaid

Yesterday, Goose was complaining about the flea on him. But when I caught the flea that was bothering him, he complained about that too! He wanted to take care of it himself. (So why complain to me about it?) Make up your mind!

Goose: Hey! What did you do that for, huh? I coulda handled it myself!

Today, Gulliver’s UFO flew overhead…and I shot it down! This was actually my first successful UFO hunt of 2023!

The UFO, moments before disaster.

After waking up Gulliver, I started gathering up the missing parts of his UFO. I normally wait until I’ve picked them all up before talking to him again, but I decided to give him the first three pieces I found (just to keep my pocket space clear). He said those three pieces could be used to fix his Inhibition Inhibitor.

Gulliver: With these parts, I can fix my Inhibition Inhibitor!

It gives him courage to act against his better judgment. 😆

Gulliver: It allows me to perform acts of great valor against my better judgment!

Caroline was sick with a cold today, so I gave her some medicine. I didn’t want her huge eyes getting watery and flooding the town, you know. 😉

Bones asked me for a new catchphrase, and I told him to say “or snacks.” Keep an eye on future entries to see if he uses it in any interesting or funny ways.

After I found the two remaining UFO parts, I took them back to Gulliver. And he gave me something new: a mermaid statue! I put it in my Gulliver room, where I expect it will boost my next HRA score.

My new mermaid statue.

See you all next week! Never Stop Crossing! 🙂

Goldfish Paper

When I played Wednesday, I got my latest house evaluation from the Happy Room Academy. My score is up to 267,052 points now, thanks to the treasure chest I added last week.

Saharah was in town, and she needed some help once again.

Saharah: Ah, I have a problem... A terrible problem... I have forgotten my map!

I delivered a carpet package to Blathers and some wallpaper to Pelly (for Phyllis). Saharah offered me some ringside seating or a music room floor, and I chose the former.

Bones was over his cold, and he thanked me for the medicine by giving me a white boom box.

Today, Mom sent me this letter on goldfish paper. It’s one of the more unique sets of stationery in the game.

Dear Jeff, I really wish your dad would eat more, because it seems that we always have leftovers. I'm out of containers! -Mom
But now I’m picturing food containers with goldfish in them. Yuck!

Peanut asked me to deliver a gift to Caroline, and it was a racing shirt. Caroline wasn’t thrilled with it, but she still told me to give Peanut a hug to thank her. Aww.

Caroline: Please give Peanut a hug for me, mew! And thanks again!

When I returned to Peanut, she thanked me for making the delivery. She rewarded me with 520 bells, of course. 😛

Peanut: Here! Your favorite! 520 bells! Enjoy, nutty!

At the Roost, I checked out K.K. Slider’s show. He performed “Only Me” for me; good song!

K.K.: All right, get ready to dig the riffs on this ditty: Only Me!
