10th UFO

On Monday (November 1st), I shot down Gulliver’s UFO for the tenth time!

Gulliver: I seem to remember a comet hurling toward me at disquieting speeds.
Yeah, that’s it! A comet knocked you out of the sky. It totally wasn’t me!

I gathered up the five missing pieces of his ship, and he rewarded me with a Metroid. Even though that’s a good reward, I already had one of those. So this was my first duplicate from him.

On Tuesday, Samson told me that since bugs are sensitive to sound, I should creep up on the bugs with my net held up.

Samson: Bugs are sensitive to sound, so if you're stalking one, hold the net up and...

There’s just one problem with this bit of dialogue: You can’t creep with your net in Wild World! That feature was in the GameCube game, and it later returned in New Leaf and New Horizons.

I’ve started to play on Tuesdays again, since I recently realized that I need two of Redd’s space themed items. But he had one of them this week, the space shuttle.

Redd: Ah! I see you've noticed the space shuttle! That's a very nice item!

I bought it and added it to my space room. Now I just need the rocket from Redd and the lunar surface from Saharah.

My space room continues to fill up.

I normally put my bells into my savings account once my pockets reach around 100,000. Since I had 96k+ on me, I went into town hall to check my balance: 2,212,550 bells. So I figured depositing 88k would get me to 2.3 million. But since I’m lazy sometimes, I just hit the 8 button repeatedly, depositing 88,888 bells. But I was a bit surprised when I saw the amount remaining in my pockets was 7,777 bells.

I just thought that was pretty cool, as insignificant as it is. 😛

Today (Saturday) is flea market day, where everyone sells their old junk. When I ran into Cyrano, he was complaining because I wasn’t at home. Apparently he wants to see my junk.

Cyrano: But if you're not at home, then I can't see YOUR old junk...ah-CHOO!
My junk is nothing to sneeze at.

It was K.K. Slider night at the Roost, and he performed K.K. March for me. It actually wasn’t that bad. Since I had a country guitar with me, he again asked to trade it for his pic. I agreed, and that confirms that you can get his photo more than once. I’m not sure why you would need it more than once, unless you accidentally sold it and wanted a replacement, but it’s good to know the option is there.

Last Friday, Bob was asking me about paparazzi. He couldn’t wrap his head around the concept. 😛

Bob: So, I don't get it. What kind of father is a Razzi? It's all so confusing.

Peanut has been asking me for orange furniture just about every day for a while now. But there doesn’t seem to be much orange furniture in the game! At least I never seem to see any in the shop. But since Nookington’s was having a half-off sale today, I took a chance and bought her a picnic table. It’s wood-colored, which isn’t exactly orange, but I was hoping it would be close enough. However…

Peanut: Sorry, sunshine! Yeah, so, why don't you take this back? ...Like, EW!!

Not only did she refuse it, but she said “EW!!” as if the sight of a picnic table was the most disgusting thing. 🙄

Back outside, Cyrano surprised me by giving me his picture out of the blue!

Cyrano: Here... Take this picture of me. It's all yours!

I took it home and put it in my house. Cyrano’s favorite quote is “Wish you were here!”

24 photos in my room.

That was my 24th photo, which means this room is now filled to capacity. So the next time I get a photo (Bob?), it’ll have to go in another room. But before long, that’s going to be a problem too. Most of my other rooms are filling up, and it’s annoying me that Wild World houses don’t have basements.

But with that in mind, I decided to redecorate my room on the left. It’s the room I previously used for hybrid flowers, until I started putting my Gulliver items in there. I moved most of the flowers into storage, and I rearranged everything so it wasn’t such a jumbled mess.

Disclaimer: The Nintendo bench isn’t a Gulliver item.

I also made some minor changes to my other rooms as well, straightening up a bit and making notes for a couple items I still want to add.

I posted my latest Wild World video today, ACWW #39. Check it out if you’re interested!

Alien vs. Samson

On Monday, Saharah was in town. She asked me deliver some wallpaper to Mabel, and then some more wallpaper to Blathers. After I was done, Saharah offered me a lunar horizon or an ancient tile.

Saharah: Do you want a lunar horizon or ancient tile?

Since I already have a lunar horizon, I chose the ancient tile. And now that I have both the ancient tile and wall, I displayed them in my upstairs villager photo room.

Today, Kid Cat told me a very interesting story. He said that he saw an alien, and Samson was fighting it while wearing a leotard!

Kid Cat: It was a space alien! ...And Samson was fighting it in a leotard!

But then he admitted that he only saw it after ramming his head into a tree. I guess that explains it, but still…he may need to see a doctor. That sounds like it could be a serious brain injury!

Kid Cat: Sure, I had just rammed my head into a tree while fleeing bees, but still...

Pascal was in town, but unfortunately, I didn’t have a scallop to give him. But he still told me about a rare “spook fish,” which actually isn’t in this game, and he gave me a ship deck (flooring).

Pascal: Ever seen a spook fish? Yeah, maaannn...creepy.
It’s a fitting time of year to mention a spook fish!

Out of curiosity, I googled “spook fish,” and it’s an alternate name for a barreleye. That fish isn’t in the older Animal Crossing games, but it was introduced in New Horizons.

That’s all I have for now, but I’ll see you all next time. Have a good day!
