Fish and Chats with Julian

Yesterday, Bob approached me and gave me a lucky frog! He said he thought of me when he saw it. Everyone seems to associate me with frogs now for some reason. 😛

Bob: Since you're always helping me out, I got a little present. It's a lucky frog!Today, Peewee the gorilla was camping at the campsite. I got the impression that he doesn’t trust me.

Peewee glares at me inside a tent at the campsite.

Julian was fishing in the river tonight, and he told me a little story. Apparently, he was told that if he wanted to enjoy life, he should learn how to fish, in drag!

Julian: They told me that if you want to enjoy your life, you should learn how to fish, in drag!
I guess that explains the fishnet stockings.

I found Bob up in the aquarium at the museum (likely looking for a snack). He seemed a bit confused though: He said he was lucky to live here, in the sky.

Bob: I'm so lucky to live here, in the sky.Over by my central bridge, Daisy asked me to make a delivery to Hamlet…who was standing right behind me!

Daisy: Hamlet asked me a while ago to pick up something, but I got so busy that I forgot to deliver it!Hamlet had crossed the bridge by this time, but I still only had to walk a few feet to hand him the item. The gift was a nebula tee, and he tried it on right away. He even asked me how it looked, but he was standing in roses (and he’s short), so I couldn’t even see how it looked on him!

Hamlet: So what do you think? Does it look good on me?He thanked me by giving me a lemon. What kind of reward is that? It put me in a sour mood.

So I took a boat ride out to the island for some fishing. I caught dozens of fish, and several valuable bugs too. I made over 100,000 bells on my trip, but my main focus was working towards that fishing badge that’s been eluding me seemingly forever.

A bit later, I met up with Julian again. He said that Pashmina treats him like one of her gal pals! Hmm, I wonder why. 😛

Julian: Even though I'm a boy, she talks to me like I'm one of her gal pals! She's very kind, in drag.Daisy told me she was thinking of moving out of town on August 22nd, but I told her to stick around. I like Daisy, but I think I will let her move out at some point. Just not quite yet.

According to Luna, my most recent dream visitor was Xavier from Quigley. Thanks for stopping by!

Sunday Night Fireworks

The second fireworks festival of the year started tonight at 7:00 p.m., and Isabelle was at the event plaza to hand out heart boppers. Just behind the plaza, I spotted a scorpion and I was able to snag it! Unlike the one from Thursday, I wasn’t forced to release this one.

I caught a scorpion! Not so fast now, are ya?!Hamlet seemed excited about the fireworks. He said the first fireworks of the night have the biggest impact…in his ear. 😉

Hamlet: Wow! Haha! The first fireworks always have the biggest impact! In my ear!At 8:00, I opened my gate for Sunday Night Fireworks. Beth and Squishy came over, and we posed for pictures by the SNF sign I made earlier in the day.

Beth, Jeff, and Squishy stand by the SNF sign as fireworks go off in the sky.I dug some holes around my tree stump and we did some glitching by all standing in the same spot.

Jeff, Squishy, and Beth standing in the same spot as we use the tree stump glitch.We used emotions for a few minutes or so. When I was about done, I tried kicking in one of the holes on the ground. But instead of doing that, I actually picked up a gold rose behind us…a gold rose on the other side of the tree stump!

The gold rose behind the stump missing.We then went up to the frog room in my house. For some reason, I was thinking the froggy chair didn’t make fart sounds in New Leaf. But sure enough, when I saw down in it (or stood back up), it would sometimes make the fart sound. But the interesting thing is that it didn’t fart when Beth or Squishy did it. Is it because they’re ladies? Is it because I’m now wearing shorts instead of long pants? Any ideas?

Jeff: Y U NO FART?When we went back outside, I had a chat with Bob. He said that one of the fireworks looked like his favorite type of flower. His catchphrase of “in the sky” worked out quite well here.

Bob: One of the fireworks that just exploded looked like my favorite type of flower, in the sky.After using my megaphone to scream into the ears of Squishy and Beth, we watched fireworks from several different spots around town. The metal bench in my central park was a great spot.

Watching fireworks from my central park area.My new geyser was also a prime location, although the geyser’s eruptions were so short that it was hard to get perfect pictures while the geyser was squirting and the fireworks were exploding.

Watching fireworks as the geyser erupts.From sitting on the bench, it appeared that the geyser’s eruption reached the moon!

Water from the geyser appears to reach the moon, as fireworks go off in the sky.We also headed over to the event plaza, where we bought some cookies from Crazy Redd and redeemed the tickets inside for prizes. Unfortunately, most of the prizes I got were duds.

Redd's Cookie: Too bad! You got a dAnd of course, we just had to glitch into/onto Redd’s stand. There’s always Squishy in the banana stand!

Squishy celebrates a successful glitch into Redd's stand.I also glitched onto his stand. Even though other people saw me inside the stand, I saw myself on top.

Tossing beans from Crazy Redd's stand.Things got a bit messy when Beth glitched into the stand. I think she threw up on me!

Beth appears to puke beans out at me.That wasn’t very nice, so I killed her! By saving the game. Here you can see her corpse on top of the stand.

A dead Beth on top of Crazy Redd's stand.Next, we went back to the geyser and took turns glitching onto it.

Water from the geyser rushes through my body as I find a prize slip inside a cookie.Beth stands on the geyser as it erupts. Fireworks explode in the background.I went to check on Daisy, and she is finally over her cold. She gave me an exotic wall shelf to thank me for the medicine I’ve been taking her the past few days.

Daisy: Thanks for your help the other day, dude!We were running around the area north of my town hall, and I dug a few holes. Due to some lag, Beth fell into one of the holes as if it was a pitfall!

Beth stuck in a hole.We did more running and digging, trying to duplicate it, but no such luck. There were a few close calls though, where Beth kinda glitched over to a different spot (but without falling in). She got revenge a few minutes later, when she pushed me into the river.

Jeff: I CAN'T SWIM!Shortly before 10:00, I ended the session for the night. Thanks for coming, Squishy and Beth! I had a good time. I have something special planned for Friday Night Forest next month. I’m bringing back something I did in ACCF…but with a new twist. And no, it’s not sumo. 😉

Luna told me that my most recent dream visitor was Belen from Saturn. Thanks for stopping by!

Pashmina’s Penultimate PWP Proposal

Daisy is still sick, so I’ve been buying medicine for her each day. She should be getting over this illness pretty soon, I imagine.

Daisy flips upside-down as she takes her medicine.
I think the moon is warping the gravity in here.

Hamlet seemed to be in the Olympic spirit tonight. First, he wondered if it was okay to play in the town fountain. And then, he said he wanted to show me his crawl stroke, backstroke, and butterfly!

Hamlet: I wanna show you my awesome crawl stroke! And backstroke! And butterfly! They all look awesome.
Go for the gold!

Gulliver was down on the beach, talking about tom yum kung and elephants. He’s headed off to Thailand, so he’ll be sending me a gift from there tomorrow.

Gulliver: Also, in that country there are a lot of elephants who need special care and preservation!You know you’ve been fishing a lot when you start accumulating multiple pieces of garbage in your pockets. Here, I had four boots!

Four boots (garbage) in my pockets.While I haven’t earned that gold fishing badge yet, I have been making some money from selling all these fish. My bank account balance has now topped 78 million bells.

Your current balance is 78,250,000 bells.PWP Update

Pashmina surprised me with a new PWP (public works project) suggestion tonight! She told me to put in a windmill!

Pashmina: They totally had what was maybe the coolest windmill I have ever seen!This is what it looks like. It’s a bit pricey though, costing 372,000 bells to install. Even though I’m a fan of windmills in general, it’s hard to justify blowing that much money on one…especially since I already have a wind turbine in town.

Windmill PWP: 372,000 bells.I am glad that Pashmina is suggesting these projects, though. If I’m not mistaken, I only need one more of the uchi PWPs from her: the wisteria trellis. Once she suggests that, I’ll be able to let her move out of town. But then, I should probably get a snooty villager, since there are several snooty PWPs I still need.

Luna told me that Ramon from Old Oak was my most recent dream visitor. Thanks for stopping by, and I’ll be back with another entry tomorrow for Sunday Night Fireworks!
