This is the week of the Bright Nights festival!

All of the villagers’ houses, along with many of the cedar trees in town, are decorated with festive lights. It may not make a lot of sense, but the lights are pretty, and they brighten up these otherwise bleak winter nights.

Over near town hall, Butch was overconfident that he was going to win.

Even though the festival was dominating discussions around town, not everyone was obsessed with it. Eloise was more concerned with her dry skin. 😛

But she told me a home remedy that works for her: Waldorf salad. On her face. It sounds a bit nutty to me, but she swears by it.

Bones was finally over his cold, and he thanked me for the medicine by giving me an ornate wall.

After checking out all of the decorated houses, I decided that Wolfgang’s looked the best. He has some decorated cedar trees near his house that added to the appeal. (Even if the narrow camera viewpoint prevents a good look at the whole area.)

So I returned to Tortimer to tell him my choice.

I spoke with Wolfgang again, and he acknowledged my choice.

Bright Nights continue through Sunday night, so you still have several more days to check them out for yourself.

See you all next time! 🙂

Yesterday, I saw a large fish shadow in the river, and I caught myself a stringfish! 😀 It’s always exciting to catch a valuable fish like this. 🙂

Mitzi asked me for a new catchphrase to replace “nutty,” so I told her to say “or yarn” instead.

Speaking of catchphrases, Bob has continued using his recent one, telling me that he got a picture of a couch in a jar. 😆

It’s too bad we can’t layer catchphrases, so he could say it’s in a jar, in a box, for example. 😉

Today, Pascal was in town. Apparently, he’s been asking starfish about the meaning of life. And apparently, they spoke back to him? 😛

Pascal gave me some sea view wallpaper and then jumped into the ocean.

A shooting star flew overhead, but it happened while I was in a conversation with Goose. So I had no chance to wish on it. 🙁

I listened in on a conversation between Wolfgang and Eloise, and Wolfgang was being quite rude to Eloise. He said she was looking scraggly today.

Eloise stormed off angrily, and I can’t blame her.

Bones has still been sick with a cold, so I gave him more medicine Monday, Wednesday, yesterday, and again today. That’s five doses of medicine he’s had now (including last Friday), so I feel this has been really excessive. Colds shouldn’t last this long in a video game. 😛

I recently posted my latest Wild World video, episode 52. It covers the events of January. I hope you’ll check it out!

See you next time!

On Wednesday, I received this week’s HRA score, and I have topped 250,000 HRA points for the first time! My score was 252,524 to be exact.

The boost in my score was because of the addition of the two new villager photos I received last week.

Wolfgang asked if I would like a golden stamp, if there was such a thing. I knew this bit of dialogue was a trap, so I said no. He said I’m a lot more honest than I look…and I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or a bad thing. 😉

Yesterday, Bob asked me for a new catchphrase to replace “nutty.” That was Peanut’s catchphrase that has spread around to everyone, so I’m trying to eradicate it now. I told Bob to say “in a jar.” I know it’s not my best work, but I’ll take anything over “nutty” right now.

Today, Peanut told me that Bones and Eloise are one of 2023’s biggest couples, according to Ms. Nintendique magazine!

I’m surprised to hear that two Forest residents have been recognized nationally. 😉 But Peanut threw some shade, adding that “biggest” doesn’t necessarily mean “best.” 😛

To add injury to insult, Bones was sick with a cold today. But I gave him some medicine I had with me. Get well soon, Bones!

Mitzi has been asking me for green furniture lately, so I bought a weeping fig at Nookington’s for her. She seemed to like it, and she rewarded me with some steel flooring.

See you all next week with more!
