Sugarless Peppermint Gum

Saharah was in town yesterday, and she asked me to make some deliveries for her. First, I delivered a rug to Phyllis, some carpeting to Tom Nook (which I barely made in time before the shop closed), and then some wallpaper for Blathers. Saharah then offered me a western vista or a western desert.

Saharah: Do you want a western vista or a western desert?

I’ve had them both before, so I just chose the wallpaper for no particular reason.

There were several shooting stars in the sky, and I managed to make a wish on one of them.

Wishing on a shooting star in Animal Crossing: Wild World.

Today, I received a letter from Wishy (the shooting star): Somewhat ominously, he sent me a mummy’s casket. I’m pretty sure I didn’t wish for a dead body from thousands of years ago, but yeah, thanks anyway.

Katrina was in town, and I paid her 100 bells to tell my fortune. She started talking about an otter with thoughtful eyes (presumably Pascal), swimming in a pool.

Katrina: An otter with thoughtful eyes does the backstroke in a 50-meter pool...

She said this training was his key to victory. Victory in what, though? And how does this relate to me?

Katrina: Performing this basic training every day is his secret to victory.

She said it may mean nothing, or it may mean everything. Then she took my money.

At town hall, I saw a part of the chewing gum dialogue that I didn’t see in previous years. Pelly said that when Phyllis gets stressed out, she starts chewing gum. So Pelly bought her some sugarless peppermint gum…

Pelly: Sugarless peppermint gum! This way, no matter how much she chews,...

…so that Phyllis doesn’t gain weight and lose her teeth! 😆

Pelly: ...she won't gain weight, and more importantly, her teeth won't fall out of her head!

Dotty has still been sick, so I gave her some more medicine yesterday and again today. Get well soon, Dotty!

See you all next time!

It’s Cone!

I shelled out 320 bells for a traffic cone at Nookington’s tonight. Why? Because it’s Wolfgang’s birthday, and I wanted to buy him something cheap nice. 😆 I headed over to his party and handed him the gift.

Wolfgang: Hey! Look at that! A traffic cone!
It’s cone!

He said he didn’t particularly want it or not want it. 😛 But Wolfgang returned the favor by offering me his stool in return!

Wolfgang: So I want you to have my stool in return, snarrrl.

Bones was also at the party, and he seemed to be feeling more festive than Wolfgang himself.

Bones: Come on, let's wish Wolfgang a happy birthday!
Okay, fine. Happy birthday, Wolfgang!

Dotty was sick with a cold tonight, so I gave her a dose of medicine.

At the Roost, K.K. Slider was performing. I told him I didn’t have any requests, so he played K.K. Calypso for me. I enjoyed the song.

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

Drift was all packed up and ready to move out of town, but I talked him out of it. Well, he said he lost his passport, so he couldn’t travel. 😛

If you haven’t seen my latest Wild World episode (#60), here it is:

See you next time!

Lump of Lunch Meat

Thursday night, Peanut wanted to have a competition to see who could catch a cricket first. Since crickets are common, and since they were actually out at the time, I agreed to the challenge. It didn’t take me long to find one, and Peanut wasn’t happy that I caught one so quickly. 😛

Peanut: This is so uncool, unfun, and uncute, hulaaaa!

But she did keep her word and give me a prize for winning: an exquisite rug.

Wolfgang asked me to deliver a gift to Caroline, so I took the package to her. It was a security shirt, and Caroline wasn’t thrilled with it. When I told Wolfgang the news, he said the gift went over like a lump of lunch meat. 😆 I never would have thought to put it that way, but I like that crazy analogy.

Wolfgang: what?! The gift went over like a lump of lunch meat?

Wolfgang rewarded me with a parquet floor.

At 10:07 p.m., I shot down Gulliver’s UFO for the second time this month. The UFO didn’t nearly crash on anyone’s head this time, but there was still something interesting that happened. After I got done talking with Gulliver, one of the UFO parts spawned right under my feet! I didn’t move an inch, I just found myself standing on it as soon as Gulliver’s speech bubble closed. Definitely the easiest UFO part to find, ever. 😆

A UFO part spawns right at my feet.

After I found the rest of the UFO parts, I returned them to Gulliver in exchange for a Metroid. It’s a good item, but I’ve already earned two of them before. I don’t have enough storage, so I just sold this one.

Tonight, K.K. Slider was in town. I headed down to the Roost for his show, and he performed K.K. March for me. I generally don’t think of that song as being particularly good, but it sounded better than I expected. Not bad at all. K.K. hit all of his notes. 🎶

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

Mitzi was trying to move out of town, but I spoke with her repeatedly until she finally reconsidered.
