Yesterday, I was surprised to find a goodbye letter from Cyrano in the mail. He left without warning.

I generally like Cyrano, but I’m not upset that he left. Especially since he insulted my town on the way out.

Snake told me that someone approached him recently, asking if he wanted to insure his muscles!

He said no, and Peanut later told him that it was a scam. I think it’s safe to assume he’s talking about Lyle, even though he didn’t mention him by name.

It was raining in town tonight, and Snake assure me that he’s not scared by the “savage drops of night rain.” 😂

I found Pascal near the sea, and I spoke with him. He told me not to insult anyone while they’re chopping wood. I guess that’s because they’d be holding an axe?

He gave me a ship compass before jumping into the water.

After Cyrano’s departure, Forest didn’t have a vacancy for long. Goose already moved in today!

Goose isn’t a bad chicken to have around. He’s not one of my favorites, but he’s not someone I hate either. Welcome to town, rooster.

Yesterday, Peanut wanted to have a competition to see who could catch a horse mackerel first. Since that’s a common fish, I was up to the challenge.

It took me a few minutes of fishing, but I did catch the horse mackerel. When I took it over to Peanut, she admitted defeat and gave me a stone tile as my prize.

Hugh wanted to give me a new nickname, and he called me J-bot! I remember first hearing that nickname in City Folk, and I’ve always liked it. 🤖

Shortly after midnight, I wished on a shooting star. Today, a letter from Wishy arrived in the mail; he sent me a sleeping bag. 😴

I spotted something else up in the sky today: Gulliver’s UFO! I shot it down, and then spoke to the pilot…who couldn’t remember his name. 😛

After I reminded him who he was (his name is supposedly embroidered on his space suit), he asked me to find the missing parts of his UFO.

When I ran into Peanut, she mentioned the fish I caught for her yesterday: She said since putting it in her room, she feels like a pretty underwater creature. 😂

It took me a long time to find the 5th UFO part. But once I did track it down, I returned all the parts to Gulliver. He rewarded me by giving me a Tower of Pisa. Unfortunately, that’s another duplicate item (my third Tower of Pisa, to be exact). It may still take me years to complete my collection of Gulliver items. 😣

Have a good weekend! See you next week!

On Sunday afternoon, I received my latest evaluation from the Happy Room Academy. My house scored a whopping 242,888 points! Just adding that rocket added about 30,000 points to my score, because it completed the space set! I’m pretty sure this is the highest house score I’ve had in any Animal Crossing game.

I then recorded a tour of my house. You can see that video right here:

Tom Nook has been going through his “petriperm” dialogue again lately. I’ve shown it in the blog before, but there is one part I don’t think I’ve shown previously: His comment about “woolgathering.” I wasn’t familiar with the word, but I have to admit it fits in well for a game about animals.

Tonight, Hugh told me that he thinks about difficult things in his life when he takes a walk. He told me that one time, he dropped his sandwich in a puddle.

But you’re a pig! Don’t you basically live in a puddle? Somehow, I don’t think a pig would actually mind such a thing.

Cyrano asked me to deliver a letter to Snake, and he only gave me ten minutes to do it. I found Snake pretty quickly, and he was eager to read the letter…because it might be an “urgent muscle emergency.”

When I returned to Cyrano, he rewarded me with a bamboo wall (in his nose).

I’ll be back with another entry next week. Hope to see you then! 🙂
