A Grumpy Gull

Tonight, Aurora told me she was going to move out of town on August 2nd. I quickly changed her mind. And yes, the “ham” nickname has spread like wildfire.

Aurora: Maybe it isn't the right time to move after all. Thanks for helping me realize that, ham.A message posted on the bulletin board informed me that the fireworks festivals start on Sunday! Very cool! I plan on opening my gate on Sunday for the event. (I won’t be opening my gate this Friday, because it’s the first Friday of the month).

~ Notice ~ The fireworks show starts at 7 p.m. this coming Sunday! Don't miss it!I saw a big shadow in the river, and I fished out a dorado. I sold it to Reese for 15,000 bells!

Reese: Ooh, a dorado! I can take that item off your hands for 15,000 bells, if that's OK?Up at the Dream Suite, Luna told me Kate from Spain was my most recent dream visitor. And down on the beach, I found Gulliver washed up on the beach. But I don’t think he was happy to see me.

Gulliver: STAY AWAY FROM ME!Actually, that was just some misplaced anger he had for a hurricane. But his clues made it clear he was headed to Australia next. So he’ll be sending me a gift from there tomorrow. I’m sure tomorrow will be a good day, mate.

Gulliver: Kangaroos have amazingly powerful kicks! KABOOM!Just one other note for you tonight. Emily and Courage have submitted some more patterns to the page, including a panda, a turtle, and Marshal. You can check them out on the QR Codes page.

Back in Blue

Joan was selling turnips for 96 bells each this morning, so I bought 1,200 of them.

Joan: So 1,200 turnips comes out to be...115,200 bells altogether. Do you wanna buy them?I saved my game and didn’t return to it for about 12 hours. When I returned, I got my blue cap out of storage. It feels good to be back in this familiar, blue outfit of mine.

Wearing my familiar blue cap and lightning tee.I spoke to Sprinkle tonight, and she seems to believe she’s a star just waiting to be discovered! Keep dreaming! You’ll be lucky if you end up on top of someone’s ice cream sundae!

Sprinkle: Just between you and me... One day, I'm gonna sit on the town's metal bench...Sprinkle: and just wait for a passing talent agent to snatch me up! That's how all the big stars are discovered!Up at the Dream Suite, Luna told me Karla from Osito was my most recent dream visitor. When I returned to town, I ran into Drago. He told me he recently had a chat with MaryAnn from Tropical, and he called her a fish-and-bug star.

Drago: Now, she's one heck of a fish-and-bug star, don't you think, burrrn?

Glitching in Johto

When I went to visit Drago today, he told me he can tell what people are going to eat for dinner based on the look on their face.

Drago: I'm deciding what people are going to have for dinner based on what their faces look like.Going by the look on his face, I was afraid he was going to make Jeff jambalaya, possibly with some mayornaise. Fortunately, he didn’t try to cook and eat me. But he guessed that I was going to have vichyssoise for dinner. Uh, what? Wrong-o, Drago.

Drago: Hmmm... Vichyssoise, maybe?I opened my gate briefly; I was trying to show Madisyn how to glitch.

Madisyn is impressed after I glitch onto the train tracks.We ended up going to her town Johto to do more glitching. Her friend Laile was also there; they were both wearing Santa hats for reasons unknown.

Jeff, Madisyn, and Laile.Madisyn showed me her house, and we hung out there for a little while.

Madisyn: Welcome!Later, Laile held me hostage in one of the other houses in town. Apparently Laile was playing a prank on Madisyn by keeping me hidden. 😛

Jeff: Are you going to torture me?Eventually, we went back outside and rejoined Madisyn. I glitched up onto her cube sculpture.

Glitched onto the cube sculpture.I asked Madisyn to save the game, so she obliged…and killed me.

Jeff, Madisyn, and Laile in the river.After a while, we went down to the ocean and did some diving.

The three of us diving in the ocean.Madisyn asked if we should go out to the island, but it was time for me to go. I returned to Forest and went up to the Dream Suite. Luna told me Justin from Sunville was my most recent dream visitor. And in Club LOL, I asked K.K. to play K.K. Synth for me. I want to try making it into a shell music box.

K.K.: Enough tuning--let's groove. This next one is for you, Jeff. It's called K.K. Synth.My Able Sisters had a lightning tee for sale, so I figured I would buy it. It’s one of the shirts I wore pretty often in City Folk; I’ll just need a blue cap to wear with it. I think I have one in storage already, though.

Mabel: The rock 'n' roll vibe of the lightning tee is nice, right?Mabel wouldn’t let me try it on because I was still wearing my wet suit.

Mabel: It's probably difficult to try things on while you're wearing a wet suit. Take it off first and try again!
I will not strip for you, Mabel!

In the Emporium, I saw a slide puzzle for sale. Even though the numbers were still in the right order, I saw Katt looking at it and trying to figure it out.
