Bright Nights 2022

Bright Nights week began on Monday. It’s the time of year where villagers decorate their houses with colored lights. There are also festive lights on many cedar trees around town.

Roscoe: People get into decorating their houses during Bright Nights, in a barn.

Bunnie’s house had three decorated trees nearby, even though I couldn’t get them all on-screen at once. 😛

I voted for her house as the best one in town, and Tortimer seemed to agree with my choice.

Tortimer: Bunnie, huh? You have a very good eye there, guppy!

Word of my vote got back to Bunnie, and she was really happy about it. 🙂

Bunnie: I know! You must have voted for me!

I played again tonight, but I decided to vote for Deena’s house this time.

Deena's house decorated for Bright Nights 2022.

When I visited Cyrano, he told me that he recently had a cockroach on the tip of his nose! 😮

Cyrano: The other night I woke up and found one right here on the tip of my nose.

He was grossed out, but I’m not sure why. He eats insects, after all. Having one appear on the tip of your nose is like getting a free meal you don’t have to work for. Just suck it down! 😛

Bright Nights runs for the rest of the week (through Sunday night). Wild World is the only Animal Crossing game that has the event…and the only game that has decorated houses, so this is a good time to pick up your DS and check in on your town. 🙂

Tortimer: Snow, do your best! Mayor, beat your chest!

See you all next time! Happy Bright Nights!

Meteor Shower, Olivia’s Party

Last week, Wishy sent me a deluxe washer in the mail.

Until recently, I wasn’t entirely sure that Wild World had proper meteor showers. Yes, I have seen a shooting star on random clear nights, but they were typically isolated incidents. But on Tuesday, I saw FIVE shooting stars during a 15-minute play session. I’d say that qualifies as a meteor shower. I wished on three of them, even though you only need to wish on one to get a letter from Wishy.

Over by town hall, Bunnie asked Bob when Tom Nook’s birthday was, and Bob said it was on the 28th. Bunnie asked if I knew when it was, and I said yes…because Bob just said it. Bob then acted surprised that I cared so much(?), and he said he wished his brother was like me.

Bob: I wish my brother was like you, sunshine... Sniff...

I’m guessing Bob’s brother forgot his birthday? The whole thing was actually a bit confusing. Perhaps it wasn’t the best-written bit of dialogue.

Yesterday, I received my latest reward from Wishy. It was another deluxe washer! I wish Wishy would give me some art instead! Or at least something different! 😛

Today (February 3rd) is Olivia’s birthday, and I attended her party. Bob was also there, and Olivia was excited as I handed her a gift…

Olivia: Huh? Really? I'm so excited! It's a lie!

I gave her a doghouse that I found in the lost and found. 😂 She called it an interesting choice, which sounded sarcastic even before she said that was a lie. I don’t know what to believe! 😛

Olivia: You've made such an interesting choice for me, it's a lie!
She gave me a pine bonsai in return.

Bunnie has been sick with a cold, so I gave her some medicine yesterday and then again today.

Peanut asked me to buy her rose wall for 2,410 bells, and I declined the offer. She wasn’t happy about that, and she told me I’m never going to get anywhere in life.

Peanut: Y'know, with that kind of attitude, you're NEVER going to get anywhere in life!
So paying high prices for things I don’t want is the key to success? You’re nuts!

Pascal was in town, so I gave him my last remaining scallop. He gave me another golden axe. I don’t really need it, but oh well. 😛 🤷‍♂️

Cyrano in Love

Last Wednesday, I got to see the inside of Deena’s house. I was surprised that it looked like a gym! There was a weight bench, basketball hoop, table tennis, and a bunch of lockers! I would’ve expected something like this inside of a jock’s house.

Snake has still been sick, so I gave him some more medicine last Tuesday and Wednesday. By Thursday, he was over his cold and he gave me a modern sofa.

Saharah was in town Thursday, and I made deliveries to Phyllis and Tom Nook for her. In return, she offered me an ancient wall or a lunar surface. I jumped at the chance to get the lunar surface; that’s what I’ve been hoping for!

Saharah: Do you want an ancient wall or a lunar surface?

I installed it in my space room, and it’s almost complete. All I need now is the rocket from Crazy Redd.

The lunar surface in my ACWW space room.
Just don’t ask me how there’s a moon on the moon.

When I spoke with Olivia, she mentioned that Katrina switched from using a crystal ball to using tarot cards instead. That’s an interesting tidbit of information, although Katrina now uses a crystal ball again in New Horizons.

Olivia: She used to use her crystal ball to see the secrets of the future, but...
Olivia: ...she recently switched props. So she uses cards now, it's a lie.

I wished on two shooting stars last week; Wishy sent me a robo-stereo one day and a cement mixer another. Neither is what I wished for. 😛

Today (Monday), I shot down Gulliver’s UFO. It was my 14th one overall. I gathered up the astronaut’s spaceship parts, and he gave me a compass. Unfortunately, that was another duplicate item that I already had.

Gulliver: I am known as Gulliver. I am an astronaut from what you call outer space.

Over by the museum, Cyrano told me about a time he got a leg cramp while sipping cappuccino at the Roost. He said Celeste rolled her eyes at him, and he thought he was in love. 😛

Cyrano: Celeste totally rolled her eyes at me... I thought I was in love, in my nose!

Later on, I wished on another shooting star. I can’t tell you what I wished for, but I’m hoping to donate it to the museum. 😉 See you next time!
