June Bug-Off

The Bug-Off competition was held today, and Cally was out searching for bugs.

Cally: I need to find the perfect bug! I'm going to end this tournament with my net held high.Dizzy approached me and told me he was moving out of town on June 24th! I was not ready for him to leave yet though, so I twisted his trunk and made him stay.

Dizzy: I'm leaving on the 24th of this month.I grabbed a few bugs out of my dock box, and a goliath beetle earned me my highest score of the afternoon, 132 points. No animals surpassed that score, so I won the competition.

Merka came over to collect signatures, but I made her attend my ceremony. It’s not often I get to force my friends to applaud for me. 😛

Me celebrating a win in the Bug-Off competition.Merka was then free to collect signatures for her petition. I’m not sure what the petition was for, but I think it was a bit shady.

A silhouette of Merka.I ran into Kabuki on the street, and he was feeling much better now. He thanked me for the drugs I gave him, and he gave me a trunk measure as my reward. I’ll be sure to use it on Big Top and Dizzy.

Kabuki: I was suffering, but you helped me like my own mother would have!Lauryn was resetting her town tonight, so I let her store some of her belongings in my town until she got a town that she liked.

Me waving hello to Lauryn.She later returned as a very different looking character; I wasn’t even sure it was her at first! But I confirmed it was her, and she took her stuff home. Good luck with your new town, Lauryn!

When I updated my dream town, Luna told me that Spot from Spandit was my most recent dream visitor.

That’s all for tonight, but I’ll be back with another entry tomorrow. Believe it or not, it’s already time for the summer solstice. This will be the third one since the game came out…time flies, doesn’t it?

Notice: Tomorrow is the Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year in Forest!

Tom’s Lost Book

Yesterday, Re-Tail was paying 136 bells for turnips. That’s not a big amount, but this late in the week, I’m just trying not to lose money. So I sold all of my turnips at that price.

Reese: Currently, I'm buying each turnip for 136 bells.Putting my turnip money into the bank kicked my balance above the 44 million bell mark.

Your current balance is 44,170,000 bells.Kabuki was still sick, so I took him some more drugs.

Kabuki takes some medicine.Today, Tom told me that he recently had a dream about Zooey from Whitby. He said she was a real stump maker.

Tom: That reminds me! I recently had a dream involving Zooey from over in Whitby.Saharah was in town, and she put in a rose wall and a stripe carpet…not a good combination.

A rose wall and stripe carpet.I went out to the island tonight and I went on the advanced price-fishing tour. It gives 12 medals for each session (if you earn gold, which is easy), so I did it seven times.

Tortimer: WHOA! You're a master angler! You've earned a Gold Tortimer award and 12 medals!When I returned, I found a lost item (a book) on the beach.

Finding a lost item on the beach.It didn’t take me long to find its owner: Tom.  He thanked me for returning it, and he gave me a bird feeder as my reward. But don’t you need this to catch your meals?

Tom: I gotta thank you, so here. Take my bird feeder with you as a thank you!Up at the Dream Suite, Luna told me that Beth from Appleby was my most recent dream visitor. Thanks for stopping by, Beth!

Forking Over a Fine Moth

I got a letter from Gulliver in the mail; it contained a Kinderdijk windmill from the Netherlands. Free gifts are always nice, so it was a win-wind situation.

It was raining again today; I’m loving the rainy season! Daisy thought it was a bit gloomy, but she entertains herself by spinning her umbrella. Or so she says. She didn’t actually prove it to me.

Daisy: On gloomy, rainy days, walking around and spinning my umbrella really lifts my spirits.Later on tonight, Dizzy told me he was hungry for a nut!

Dizzy: Yay! My appetite is ready and waiting, for a nut!Actually he wanted some fruit, so I gave him a perfect orange. He wolfed it down, and he loved it! He rewarded me by giving me a regal clock.

Dizzy: Woohoo!Rolf had his eye on a moth in my pocket, and he offered to trade me a canary shirt for it. I didn’t particularly want the shirt, but to get anything in exchange for a moth is a good deal!

Rolf: How about forking over your fine moth for a clean, even, mutually beneficial trade?Kabuki was sick with a cold today, so I bought some medicine for him. Get well soon, kitty cat.

Kabuki flipping for some medicine.While coming up from the beach, I spotted a silver slingshot flying by on two balloons. I got my net out and smacked the crap out of those balloons.

Popping the balloons carrying a silver slingshot using my net.Up at the Dream Suite, Luna told me that Timber from Xing was my most recent dream visitor. Thanks for stopping by!
