Rolf’s Birthday 2018

I saw on the bulletin board that Bones won the Bug-Off competition this past weekend. But he only won by one point! Wow, close match. I did not participate in the event myself.

~Bug-Off Results~ The winner of the Bug-Off was Bones, 55 Pts. 2nd: Aurora, 54 Pts. 3rd: Molly, 44 Pts.

On Sunday, I finally ran into Bones. He was complaining about not seeing me lately! Dude, I’ve been around, but you never are!

Bones: I don't know if you're ignoring me or if you're just busy. But I have feelings too, you know.
Don’t try to blame this on me, dawg.

On Monday, Aurora asked me to dig up her time capsule.

Aurora: Do you think you could dig up that time capsule I had you bury before?

So I dug it up and took it back to her. There was a pink wave tank inside, and Aurora said it was a favorite of hers. She seemed really happy to have it back.

Aurora: My pink wave tank! Such a favorite of mine!

But to my surprise, she gave me the pink wave tank as my reward! She should have kept it for herself, because I sure wasn’t going to use it.

Today (August 22nd) is Rolf’s birthday. I attended his party and gave him a claw-foot tub as his birthday present. He didn’t seem to enjoy it very much, but he was still glad that I came to his party.

Rolf: Thanks for being here for me on my birthday, tiger!

Boots was also at the party, and seeing his friend Rolf happy made him feel happy as well.

Boots: The birthday kid looks happy! It's infectious, 'cause I'm happy too, in a river!

Outside, I ran into Bones. Wow, twice in one week? It’s a miracle! 😛 Anyway, he told me that Rolf is thinking about moving out of town! I can’t save Rolf from moving when he’s in party mode, but I’ll have to save him one day soon.

Bones: I hear that Rolf is thinking about moving.

My recent dream visitors have been Erica from Eastland, Jeroen from Yanille, Madelyne from Sewanee, Pop from Frontier, and CoolCube from Virtual. Thanks for stopping by!

Ranting About Bones

I’ve had a few campers at the campsite lately, but none that I’ve wanted to invite into town. Not when I get animals like Jambette’s little sister here.

Diva: I'm Diva! And you're... Jeff? Nice to meet you!
And she’s actually the better-looking sister. Yikes.

Boots asked me for some fruit, so I gave him a perfect orange. He loved it, and he rewarded me with a nine lamp. What a reversal…it used to be me giving him number lamps!

Boots: Here you go! It's a gently used nine lamp! Enjoy!
Will he give me an eight lamp next? 😛

Yesterday, Boots asked me to play a game of hide-and-seek. He gave me ten minutes to find him, Agent S, and Boots. I found Agent S almost immediately, and she was not happy about it.

Agent S: No, no, no!

Before a minute had gone off the timer, I also found Boots near the campsite.

And less than a minute after that, I found Hornsby! His horn gave him away.

I won the game in under two minutes, which is one of the best games I’ve had. I wondered if I would get a better prize for winning so fast, but Hornsby just gave me a common bed. Booooringgggg.

Today, Big Top asked me to catch a shark for him. I’m not going to do it, but I let him think I might. He told me to go work my magic, up his nose. Uh, no thanks.

Big Top: Awesome! Well, go work your magic, up my nose!

I wanted to speak with Bones, but not surprisingly, he was out on a snack run.

I'm out on a snack run! -Bones

I’ve been playing earlier in the day this week (and even in the daylight hours some days) specifically because I was trying to find Bones. And virtually every day, he’s out on a snack run and he’s nowhere in town! Where does he go? It’s frustrating, because I’m trying to get his picture, yet I can never even track him down to speak to him!

I try using the megaphone, but he never responds. Either Agent S responds, Kapp’n responds, or it says he’s not around. Day after day after day. I’m starting to dislike him just for never being around. He seems to be avoiding me, and it’s really annoying. I could understand if it was just once in a while, but this happens more often than not.

He’s probably in a building on Main Street somewhere, but it can take forever to track someone down…especially with all those rooms in the museum. Besides, even if he is on Main Street, he would just talk about being on Main Street. You can’t have normal conversations when they’re up there. Okay, I’m done ranting now. 😛 Sorry about that.

Anyway, my recent dream visitors have been Sarah from Stardew, Maisie from Cairo, Galaxy from Aperture, Chloe from New Leaf, Kai from Awvillle, Sabrinah from London, George from Kamino, Haris from Delfino, and Rose from Newcorn. Thanks for stopping by, and have a good weekend!

Boots’ Birthday 2018

On Sunday night, I played while the fireworks festival was underway. I enjoyed the heart-shaped firework wrapping around the moon in this picture.

Fireworks in Forest.

At the event plaza, Isabelle gave me a bulb bobber. I put it on and continued to enjoy the fireworks.

Today (Tuesday) is Boots’ birthday, and I attended his party. Rolf was also there to help him celebrate. I gave Boots a metal guitar for his birthday present, and it really seemed to make him happy.

Boots: I'm so happy! Sports drink is falling from my eyes, in a river!

Rolf tried to say that he was a better friend to Boots than I am, because he arrived at the party first. That was kind of rude.

Rolf: I got here just a bit before you, making me the better friend! GAHAHA!

But overall, Boots had a good birthday party.

Boots: You outta here, muscles? Thanks for everything today! You totally rocked my b-day, in a river!

Outside, Agent S was sneaking around Hornsby’s house…being a spy! She even asked if I wanted to join in!

Agent S: Do you want to spy on Hornsby's house too? Good to know there's another secret agent in Forest!
Well, Big Top is in town too…

But then she said she was just kidding. Yeah, right. We all know you’re a spy, Agent S!

Agent S: Hee hee! I'm just kidding. I'm no spy--at least, not professionally. But I do like to keep tabs on folks!

My recent dream visitors have been Miss from Nowhere and Sydney from S.I.; thanks for stopping by!
