Late last night, I was looking for bugs in the rain and I heard a balloon present overhead. But it wasn’t a regular present, it was another silver slingshot! I’m not sure why I would need a second one, but I shot it down anyway.
And even though I didn’t catch any new July bugs in the short time that I played last night, I did catch a new fish: an arapaima!
When I started up the game today, it was still raining. This rain is seriously annoying. So I headed over to the cafe. Before working my shift, I said hello to Aurora, who was enjoying her coffee.
Back out in the rain, I saw Rory. He said he wanted his face on a bag of chips… I don’t think anyone would buy those chips, Rory.
He also had a flea on him, so I was nice enough to catch it.
Crazy Redd was in town, so I went in his tent to see what he had. I wasn’t sure which item was the correct one, but I took a chance on a famous painting again. Hopefully it’ll be the real thing this time.
And over by the town tree, Katt was ranting about something or other. I wasn’t paying much attention to her blabbering until she called herself pretty cool! Hahahaha, thanks for the laugh, Katt! 😀
But apparently, she was asking for some furniture to put in her house. I was going to see if I could give her a gyroid I had dug out of the ground, but then I saw that the flea I plucked off of Rory was an item I was able to give her! Yes! Take that! I feed Katt lemons and make her use fleas as furniture. I’m such a good friend and mayor! 😉
And since Rolf was there, I talked to him too. But he insulted guys who don’t use umbrellas in the rain. -.-
After that, I headed up to Main Street. In Club LOL, Shrunk taught me the “cold chill” emotion. It’s the one where the wind blows and the leaf flies by. ♪ cold chill ♪
Over at T.I.Y., the song Steep Hill was for sale. It’s one of my favorites, so I definitely snatched it up.
The Able Sisters had a space helmet for sale. I bought it so I’d have it in my catalog, in case I dress up as an astronaut at some point in the future. It is curious that Labelle considers it to be “sporty” though.
And before I wrapped up my evening, I talked to Tabby for some reason. At least she seems to realize she belongs in a toilet. 😉
After collecting my four daily fossils, I found a lost item on the beach. I went around asking Katt, Rolf, Molly, Tex, Benedict, and Rory, but it didn’t belong to any of them. Aurora was in Re-Tail, but it wouldn’t let me ask her about it. So I barged into Fuchsia’s house, and she thought it was a raid!
What is she growing in here that she fears a raid? Hmmm…
I kid, but a foreign fruit from a villager is actually a nice reward. It’s no snack bar, but I’ll take it.
She said it was full of her favorite makeup!
Just look at that face…
As thanks, she gave me a blue gym tee. After a quick stop at Re-Tail, I ended my game for the night.
That’s right, Aurora threw me a surprise party!
Aurora and Big Top are two of my three favorite villagers, so it was really nice that they remembered my non-birthday. But wait… why is Katt here?! Party ruined. Just kidding…maybe.
I then had to blow out my candles…by literally blowing in the 3DS microphone. The problem is, I don’t know where the microphone is! So I started blowing all over my system until my character blew out his candles. This party is a really cute addition to the game. But when I was done partying 
In the mail, I had letters (with gifts attached) from Mom, Aurora, and Big Top.
That was the regular DLC for this month. But Best Buy also has another DLC item available: the cat tower.
Here is a look at both the palm-tree lamp and the cat tower. They’re both tall items.
After that, I went to work at the cafe. My notes are paying off, as I was able to get Big Top’s coffee perfect today.
And I also got Aurora’s coffee just right too. I’m glad I could repay them both for their kindness earlier.
As for the other two customers, I got their orders partially correct, but not perfect. But Brewster still gave me some superb coffee beans for my work.
After I finished my shopping run, I ended my game…for the moment. But since it’s July now, that means there are lots of new summer bugs (and fish) available. So I opened my gate tonight to do some late night bug-catching. But once again, disconnections were a problem tonight.
We caught some bugs and showed them off near the top of my east ramp.
Unfortunately, we soon got disconnected and lost those bugs. When I reopened, Wendy, Pelon, and Marcey came in. Pelon had asked me if he could have the funny glasses when I first mentioned them in a 
A bit later, I saw someone running around wearing a sombrero and a gas mask; that’s an odd combination. I didn’t know who it was!
We also dug holes around the stump so that we could fall from the stump into the holes. But because there was so much lag tonight, the people who fell into the holes didn’t struggle at all. They just stood there motionless in the hole! It was an odd sight to behold.
A bit later, we saw Katt. So naturally, we tried to kill her.
And shortly after that, Aurora asked me to find her some perfect fruit. Yeah, okay. I’ve only seen one perfect piece of fruit in two months, yet she expects me to give her some.
Wendy decided to go hide somewhere in town, and she told us to find her. Marcey was the first to find her; she was on my private beach. I joined them, but Pelon couldn’t–he didn’t have his wet suit with him.
But before long, we got disconnected again. So I lost some bugs and the silver axe. But that’s okay, because I prefer to get the silver tools on my own anyway. I was done in Forest at this point. But Wendy invited me over to see her police station, so I went to Oakville to take a look at it.
Unfortunately, Copper wouldn’t let me take items from the lost and found.
Back outside, I saw Kabuki. He asked how much I liked my town, and I said I liked it a lot. So he said he may have to check it out sometime.
Wendy also showed me her wind turbine, complete with sound effects.
And she had so many colors of flowers around her house that it looked like a box of Froot Loops threw up.
And inside, the demon cow admired her house.
