Bad Training Advice

Yesterday, I shot down Gulliver’s UFO. When the camera cut to the crash site, I saw Octavian there! Did the UFO almost land on him, like it did to Eloise in November? Or did Octavian get off the UFO? He does have a space-themed house and he looks a bit like an alien! Maybe Gulliver was just his Uber ride home after a shopping trip in another galaxy. 😛

Octavian walks around immediately after a UFO crash.

I rushed over to the crash site, and Octavian wouldn’t discuss the elephant in the room. He made no mention of the crashed UFO right next to him, as if he didn’t see it or know anything about it. 😉

Anyway, I gathered up the missing UFO parts and Gulliver gave me another Moai statue for recovering them all. By the way, this was my 33rd UFO shot down…which equals the number I’ve shot down in City Folk! They’re much easier in Wild World though, which is how I’ve caught up despite playing Wild World half as long.

Today was Groundhog Day in North America, and it’s only mentioned via a letter from Mom.

Dear Jeff, Did the groundhog show his face today? There IS a groundhog in that odd commune you live in, yes? I must know! -Mom

When I spoke with Drift, he reminded me that the Bright Nights festival is coming up next week.

Drift: Hon! Guess what?! The Bright Nights are starting soon, mew!

But he gave me some odd advice: He told me to train for it with ice cubes in my shorts! I don’t think so! 🧊

Drift: Cold can make you cramp up, so train for it with ice cubes in your shorts, OK?

But I’m not the only one that thinks Drift is a bit strange. Caroline asked me to deliver a letter to Drift, and he showed me the letter (in which Caroline called him strange):

You're strange, Drift! Hey, Drift! Hear me out, will you? My feet grew after I danced to cabaret! See ya! -Caroline

But after reading that, I’m starting to think Caroline is a bit strange as well. 😛 When I returned to her, she rewarded me with a citrus wall for making the delivery.

Have a good weekend, everyone! See you next time!

Breaking Dishes

It was snowing on Wednesday, and Drift said he was feeling cold…but he didn’t know why. 😆

Drift: I don't know why, but I'm feeling kinda cold today, mew.
Maybe because it’s winter? And it’s snowing. And you’re outdoors. And you’re a frog. I don’t know, pick one.

He said he felt like a twig-face just jumped over him and threw down a 360 jam?

Drift: I feel like I let some twig-face hop over me and throw down a 360 jam!

I’m guessing he’s talking about basketball? 😛

Eloise and Caroline had an argument, and I made the mistake of talking to Caroline afterwards. She was telling me about her mom’s angry streak…

Caroline: When my mom gets upset, she breaks dishes, one by one, until she feels better.

And then Caroline said she just broke ten plates herself! She warned me to back off, even though I had nothing to do with her argument!

Caroline: Me? I think I probably broken about 10 plates in my house already! So back off!
She’s so angry, she turned red.

Saharah was in town, and she needed help making her deliveries. So I delivered a rug for Phyllis (to Pelly) and a carpet to Blathers. Saharah thanked me with a concrete floor.

Saharah: Do you want an ancient wall or a concrete floor?

Today, Dotty reminded me that Yay Day is coming up soon. But she suggested it might be hard to come up with something nice to say about me that’s believable. Wow, thanks Dotty. 😛

Dotty: I'm gonna have to come up with something nice to say about you that's believable.

And then, she had the nerve to tell me to shower her with compliments. 😛

I was overdue to change my shirt, so I purchased a four-ball tee at Able Sisters. So I’m no longer wearing that awful groovy shirt from Gracie. 😆

Joyless Octopus

On Wednesday, I found a poem written to the bulletin board. It was about jelly rolls, because why not? 😆

-Poetry- I prefer my jelly rolls moist and rich and cakey. But yesterday, I ate a roll that was all dry!

Over by town hall, Mitzi told me she wondered if her friend Eloise was still hard at work. Of course, Eloise was clearly within sight, and Mitzi could’ve just yelled out and asked her. 😛

Mitzi: I wonder if my friend Eloise is still hard at work, mew.

On Thursday, Gulliver’s UFO flew overhead, and I promptly shot it out of the sky with my surprisingly powerful slingshot.

Shooting Gulliver's UFO out of the sky.

It was my first UFO of 2024, and my 32nd overall. After I gathered up the missing parts of Gulliver’s ship, he rewarded me with a Metroid (for the 4th time).

Yesterday, Peanut asked me for some orange furniture. I bought a classic sofa for her at Nookington’s, because it looked orange to me. However, Peanut didn’t agree, and she refused to accept the gift.

This evening, Octavian told me it was his favorite time to be at the beach…because it’s so bleak and devoid of joy. 😛

Octavian: It's so bleak and devoid of all joy.

He said it reminds him of himself. 😛

Octavian: It kinda reminds me of myself on my better days...

After making my rounds, I headed to the Roost and waited for 8:00 to arrive. Once it did, I asked K.K. Slider for a random song, and he played one of my favorites: K.K. Faire.

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

Thanks for stopping by, and enjoy your weekend! 🙂
