On Wednesday, I received my monthly bank statement from the postal division at town hall. I earned 95,150 bells in interest for the month. I’m getting so close to the maximum! I must need 20 million in the bank to get the max, so maybe it’ll probably take a few more months to get there.

Chief was still talking about the skull shirt I gave him last week. He said it makes him look five or six years younger. I don’t know about that, but I’m glad he still seems to like the shirt.

Chief: In these new threads, I look at least five... No, maybe even six years younger!

But then, seconds later, he said he wanted some stylish clothes now. These villagers are never happy. 😛

Filbert again asked me if I wanted to see a nice picture of a couch. But this time, I said no initially, and then no again when he asked if I was sure. (I wanted to see how he’d react.) He told me my honesty was brutal…but he said he appreciated it!

Filbert: What? J-bot! Your honesty is always brutal. It stings! But I appreciate it.

He even gave me a free rock guitar! I guess I should remember to always decline couch photos. 😛

Robin was telling me some “disturbing” things that Pascal told her…about polishing gemstones?

Robin: Excessive polishing can nick gemstones. But...exfoliation is totally important!

I didn’t quite understand any of the conversation, to be honest.

Back outside, Marina really surprised me by giving me her photo!

Marina: You're the best friend I've got here in Forest, so I want to give you this.

She’s only lived here for three months, so I was not expecting this at all. It feels like I’ve barely even chatted with her much yet! But I’ll gladly take the photo, and I put it in my house. I had to move Curt’s photo into storage to make room for it, though.

Her favorite quote on the back is “I think I’m the only sane one in this town.” 😛

As expected, Truffles is still sick with a cold. I gave her some medicine Wednesday and again today. Get well soon, Truffles!

I spotted Gulliver’s UFO flying over town today, and I was able to shoot it down. Gulliver didn’t remember quite what happened, but that’s probably for the best.

Gulliver: The last thing I remember is...my ship, drifting through the celestial seas.

After I gathered up the missing pieces of his ship, he rewarded me with some plate armor…for the 5th time.

Frobert was trying to move out of town, but I talked him out of it.

Enjoy your weekend, everyone! See you next week!

Five Gallons of Tea?

On Wednesday, I put some more money in the bank and my balance reached 19 million bells.

Pelly: The current bell balance is 19,000,000.

When I visited Filbert this morning, he was still tired. He was thinking of going back to sleep. 😴

Filbert: I'm actually thinkin' about goin' back to sleep, J-bot.
Go for it, sleepy little guy.

But first things first: He had a letter that needed to be delivered to Whitney in just ten minutes! I agreed to help out, and Whitney was overjoyed to receive the letter. Chief was standing there too, also looking very happy (but I don’t know why).

Whitney: Oh, it's a letter from Filbert. What an unexpected treat!

Whitney showed me the letter, in which Filbert said he ate the letter Whitney sent him. He also said he drinks five gallons of bubble tea a day! That little dude must have one heck of a powerful metabolism! 😆

To my buddy, Whitney, I was so hungry that I ate your letter! I drink five gallons of bubble tea a day. -The hungry Filbert

Whitney was entertained by the letter (as was I). When I returned to Filbert, he gave me a library wall to thank me for making the delivery.

Truffles came down with a cold today. I gave her some medicine, but I already know her sickness is going to carry over into next week.

Truffles: Glugalugalugalug... Ooooh, I don't think I'm fully recovered yet, snoutie.

Chief asked me for some new clothing, so I bought him a skull shirt at Able Sisters. He initially said “No way!” so I thought he didn’t like it. But he faked me out; he actually loved it!

Chief, as he puts on a skull shirt: I'm totally into it, on a pig. It's perfect!

He then rewarded me with a white veil.

Enjoy the newly-green grass of spring, and I’ll be back with another entry next week. Never Stop Crossing!

Another Cranky C

On Wednesday, Filbert asked me if I’d like to see a nice picture of a couch. I’ve seen this dialogue before, and I usually answer yes. But this time, I said no. He was disappointed, so he asked if I’m into couches even a little bit. This time, I said yes, and he wondered why I didn’t say that from the start. He even called me weird! 😆

Filbert: Sheesh! Why didn't you just say so from the beginning? You're weird, J-bot!

But then he gave me a free club shirt and said cheers to our friendship. So we’re still good. 😆

I’ve had a couple requests to pitfall Frobert for his recent comments about Sable (he called her lazy). So I made sure to do that. This is for Sable, fribbit.

Frobert falls into a pitfall.

Unfortunately, he didn’t get mad about it. Pitfalls can be a bit unsatisfying in Wild World.

Yesterday, I spotted a new house in the same spot that Curt just moved out of. His replacement is Chief the wolf.

Chief: My name is Chief! I'm not good at pleasantries, but it's nice to meet you!

So I traded one cranky “C” villager for another who lives in the same spot. But I already like Chief better. 😛

The fishing tournament is coming up on Sunday, and Truffles was already talking about it. More specifically, she was telling me that fish eyes gross her out. 😛

Truffles: Those creepy, glassy eyes. It's like they're plotting their revenge, snoutie!

Today, I ran into Chief in front of my house. He was talking about the upcoming tournament too, and he said he thinks I’m a cheater! Dude, we just met, why would you even think that?

Chief: You always seem to win stuff. Personally, I think you're a cheater, but...

And just like that, the new villager “honeymoon” is over already. He’s already starting to get on my bad side by saying that. Maybe me and crankies just aren’t meant to get along in this game.

Robin’s sickness has continued into a third week. I gave her more medicine Wednesday and Thursday. But by today, she was finally feeling better.

Robin: See, don't I look like my old perfect self again? And isn't that thanks enough?!
No, it’s not. I helped you for three weeks!

Despite what she said, she did give me a reward for helping out: a quince bonsai.

I found two items in the recycle bin at town hall, a tape deck and a two-ball shirt.

If you haven’t yet seen my latest Wild World video episode (#85) that I posted a few days ago, here it is:

See you all next week!
