On Tuesday, I took my famous painting over to Blathers at the museum (now that I’m able to capture video again). I donated the Mona Lisa, and Blathers confirmed that the art gallery, and the entire museum, are now complete! Yay!

Of course, I had to check it out for myself. 🙂

I also took a tour of all the exhibits, and then had some coffee at the Roost to celebrate the achievement. I have now complete the museum in all five main Animal Crossing games.

In case you’re wondering, it took me about 6 years and 10 months to complete the museum. That is the longest time span of any game in the series! For comparison, the GameCube game took me just under six years. City Folk and New Leaf took me about three years each, while New Horizons only took me two years and four months.

The next day, Blathers sent me this letter in the mail.

He sent me the museum model, which I put on display in my house.

Bones is already looking forward to the first fireworks show of the season, which is coming up on Saturday night.

Tonight, Mitzi was packed up, wanting to move out of town! But I made sure to change her mind as soon as I could.

Dr. Shrunk was in town, and he taught me how to express my rage. 😡

Usually it’s Lyle, not Shrunk, that makes me express rage. 😉

Update: Here’s my latest Wild World video, including a quick tour of all the museum exhibits:

On Thursday, Bones showed me a letter that read:

Hey kiddo,

If you have a fever and you don’t bother going to the doctor, you’ll find yourself hard-boiled.

Love, Dad

But personally, I think that only applies if the “kiddo” is an egg. 🥚

Eloise was trying to move out of town, but I kept telling her to stay. It took much longer than usual to change her mind, though.

Caroline asked me for a new catchphrase, and I told her to say “big eyes.” So she said “Yes! Big eyes! I like the sound of that! It’s me, big eyes!” 😆

Mitzi was still sick with a cold, so I gave her another dose of medicine. But by today, she was finally better. She gave me a classic chair to thank me for helping out.

I found a letter from Bones in my mailbox today, and my heart dropped. But fortunately, he was just inviting me to his birthday party on August 4th. I breathed a sigh of relief. 😮‍💨 Villagers don’t send random letters in Wild World, it’s only if they move out or have a birthday.

I caught an arapaima in the river, and I sold it to Tom Nook for 10,000 bells. I was actually thinking they were worth 15k, but I was probably thinking of stringfish.

Saharah was in town, and she needed my help again. So I delivered a rug to Blathers, and a carpet to Mabel. Saharah offered me an industrial wall or a tropical floor, and I chose the wallpaper (for catalog purposes, because I’m not sure I’ve had that one yet).

This should be my last entry without screenshots. Everything should be back to normal by next week. So I’ll see you all then. 🙂

Unfortunately, I have to start off this entry with a bit of bad news. My capture device has died after 10.5 years of service, so I am currently unable to record footage. That means this week’s entry will not have any screenshots.

Anyway, I started up the game tonight, knowing I’d be unable to record. So I walk into Nookington’s, and he has a spotlight product today. I walk over to it, and see none other than the Mona Lisa! The famous painting! The last item I need for my museum, that I’ve been waiting to find for years…and it shows up on the very first day I’ve played without the ability to record.

As much as I’d like to have a screenshot in the blog and a clip in a future video, I’m not going to risk having to wait another seven years (or longer). I bought the painting, for a very reasonable price of just 1,568 bells. But in an attempt to have something to show for my efforts, I’m not going to donate it to the museum just yet. I’ll do that once I’m able to record again.

Anyway, Mitzi was still sick with a cold tonight, so I gave her some more medicine.

Dotty pinged me, and she told me that I looked poor. She then asked if I’d be her best friend if she gave me one bell. 🙄 What a joke. You’d need at least a thousand bells for that. 😛

Eloise asked me to compete to see who could catch a moth first. I agreed, but it’s pointless; it’s raining outside, so we’re not going to find any moths. Yet I’m sure she would magically find one after a while anyway, since the villagers cheat at these things. 😆

I posted my latest Wild World episode today, featuring highlights from June 1st through July 1st. Check it out if you’re interested!

Anyway, I’m in the process of looking for a new capture device. But I’m not sure if I’ll have one by next week or not. But hopefully soon, I’ll be able to donate that painting. 🙂

I’ll also be glad that I don’t have to obsess over shooting stars any more. I would typically empty my hands after every time I used a tool, just so I didn’t miss the chance to wish on any shooting stars. Now that I have the painting I need, I don’t need to rely on Wishy.

See you next week!
