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.

Matching Skulls

Yesterday, Saharah was in town, and she wanted me to make some deliveries for her. So I took some wallpaper to Blathers, and some carpeting to Mabel. They were both happy to receive their orders.

Mabel: Wow, thanks so much! You're too sweet!

When I returned to Saharah, she offered me an ancient wall or a closed road. I’ve already received both of them before, so I just picked one (the closed road).

Saharah: Do you want an ancient wall or a closed road?

Eloise was telling me another story about a former boyfriend, and he told her that she’d be happier without him. Eloise agreed. 😆

Eloise: 'I think you'd be a lot happier without me.' Yeah, that's right, jerko! I AM!

Today, I had a chat with Drift. Since La-Di-Day is coming up, he told me that he was confident his song “The Muscle Hustle” would be chosen as the town tune. 😆

Drift: This is the year, man! This is FINALLY the year for The Muscle Hustle!
Weird flex, but ok.

Dotty told me she was going to give me a book called “Cotton Swabs: Revealed,” but she ultimately couldn’t find it. 😛

Dotty: It's this book called Cotton Swabs: Revealed! It's a best seller!

Mitzi was still sick with a cold, so I gave her some medicine yesterday and today. She’s been sick for two weeks now, so she needs to get over it already. 😛

Eloise asked me to deliver a gift to Wolfgang, and it turned out to be a skull shirt. That’s the same thing I was wearing, so we had matching skulls!

Wolfgang: I think I'm gonna have to try this bad boy on... Not bad at all, snarrrl!

Eloise rewarded me with a sleigh. Ho ho ho.

Eloise Nearly Crushed by UFO

After starting up the game Wednesday, I ran towards the gate to check for the UFO. Right as I got there, the UFO flew overhead. Perfect timing! I shot it down and heard it crash land. The camera switched to the crash site, and I was surprised to see Eloise already there! It must have narrowly missed her! Wow, what a close call! 😆

Eloise standing directly next to the crash-landed UFO and its unconscious pilot, Gulliver.

I found the UFO and woke up Gulliver. He surmised that I must have dragged him from his ship to save him. But if anyone did, it was Eloise!

Gulliver: You dragged me unconscious from the blazing wreckage of my beloved starship!

He asked me to search for the missing parts of his UFO, and of course I agreed to help out. But I found it interesting that two of the five parts were right next to each other…at Eloise’s house!

Two UFO parts right at Eloise's house.

Eloise must’ve been a UFO magnet that day! Either that, or she started to gather up the parts for Gulliver. 😛 When I returned all the parts, Gulliver gave me a Mouth of Truth. It’s a nice item, but it’s a duplicate. Not what I was hoping for.

Mitzi was still sick with a cold, so I gave her more medicine Wednesday, and then again tonight.

Bones asked me for a fossil tonight, so I gave him an iguanodon tail that I dug up. He only gave me 510 bells for it, but he did call me the “best friend ever.” So that was nice. 🙂

Bones: Wow! You're the best friend ever! Thanks, yip yip! That was so nice!

Eloise asked me what was going on with Wolfgang and Caroline. She said they’re always fighting and trashing each other…

Eloise: They're always fighting and trashing each other.

She said that’s not a relationship, it’s a family. 😆

Eloise: That's not a relationship! That's... That's a family! Toot!
