Claudia the Bitterling Boss

Last week, I played a game of hide-and-seek with Hornsby, Rolf, and Aurora. Rolf foolishly thought he could get away with hiding behind the Sphinx’s paw.

I ultimately won the game, and Hornsby gave me a red tile wall as my prize.

On Tuesday, Agent S asked me to make a delivery to Aurora. I took the item over, and Aurora rewarded me with her picture! Even though I already had one (or several), it’s a nice gesture. Lolly could sure learn a lesson from Aurora. 😉

Aurora: It's Aurora's pic!

The fishing tournament was held today, and I played too late to participate. But I attended the winners’ ceremony, and I saw Claudia win first place with a 3.45 inch bitterling. This must have been the bitterling-only tournament…or else everyone is just awful at fishing. 😛

Chip, announcing the winner: Claudia!

At Club LOL, I asked K.K. for a sad song. He played Comrade K.K. for me, Velma, and Hippeux.

K.K.: Here's a jam that makes the blues seem like old news... Comrade K.K.

My recent dream visitors have been Eel from Area 51, Mark from Seaside, and Kingston from Cupcake. Thanks for stopping by!

Trough ‘n’ Scoff

Vivian was talking about reading Monday night…and about how she thinks she’s the coolest. 😛

Vivian: Are you sure you don't secretly like reading? It's OK, you know. I think reading's cool, and I'm the coolest.

Yesterday, Jack appeared to tell me to start saving candy (and masks) for Halloween. He also gave me a werewolf hood.

Jack: Hee hee hee! I am the mighty czar of Halloween, J

Today was Big Top’s birthday, so I made sure to attend his party. For his present, I gave him a watering trough that I bought at Re-Tail. He didn’t exactly seem thrilled with it.

Big Top: A watering trough?! Whoa! I did NOT expect this.
He scoffed at my trough.

Despite the gift, he still seemed to be in a good mood. Vivian thought so too.

Vivian: I howled, Big Top seems really happy!

Up on Main Street, a new deposit kicked my bank account balance up to 115 million bells.

Your current balance is 115,000,000 bells.

For some reason, a lot of animals were in the central part of Main Street, near the entrance to the Happy Homes Showcase.

My recent dream visitors have been Kyle from Ethicals and Paloma from Mametown. Claudia also mentioned someone named Kelly, who was a hometown hero. But she didn’t say what town Kelly was from. Regardless, thank you all for stopping by! Any time your character needs a new hairstyle, remember to check out the hair guide here on JVGS!

Boots’ Secret Lair

Claudia asked me for some furniture to replace her regal bed last night. It’s a large (2×2) piece of furniture, and not a lot of furniture items are that big. The Emporium had only one piece that size, a lunar lander. So I bought it and took it over to Claudia. She initially seemed quite surprised at my choice.

Claudia: Oh, Jeff! You selected a lunar lander for me?
Well, you are a little loony.

But then she said she loved it. She gave me her regal bed to thank me.

Claudia: I simply adore it, ooh la la!

When I entered Boots’ house, Boots was surprised that I found his secret lair. Never mind the fact that he’s lived here for over two years.

Boots: Oh! Beefcake! You, uh, found your way into my secret lair... I howled!

I’m just surprised how Boots’ house still looks much like it did in the “countdown” days in 2017.

When I spoke to Boots again, he said something I definitely did not want to hear:

Boots: You've been the subject of some gossip lately. Rumor has it you're a bell-pincher.

I’m already back to being a bell pincher! Just for that, I should find some pliers and pinch his bells! But regardless, I don’t feel like chopping all my palm trees down again. Maybe I just need to accept I’m stuck with this reputation.

At the campground, Harvey had a do-not-enter sign for sale. It just made me think of how this would be more useful in New Horizons, where you could actually put it outdoors.

Harvey: Ah! So you're interested in my do-not-enter sign...

Tonight, I attended the Saturday night musical performance from K.K. Slider at Club LOL. K.K. played a waltz for me and Peck. (But no, we didn’t dance together).

K.K.: Enough tuning--let's groove. This next one is for you, Jeff. It's called K.K. Waltz.

Luna informed me that my recent dream visitors have been George from Egg and Anna from Earth. Thanks for stopping by, and have a great night (or day)!
