Jeff's ACCF Blog

On Wednesday, I saw Tabby and I said hello to her. With my net. So she called me a Neanderthal.

At Able Sisters, I bought a dragon suit and put it on. When I visited Samson’s house nearby, I saw that he had all his belongings packed up in boxes! He’s moving away.

Clyde thanked me for the medicine I gave him recently. He then gave me a kiddie couch for my trouble.

Over by the town fountain, Midge gave me a blue tie-dye shirt. I may have worn it, if I hadn’t just bought some new clothes. 😛 Maybe another time, bird brain.

Today, I got Samson’s goodbye letter in the mail.

I also received a punny letter from Mom. Interestingly, she used the same stationery as Samson.

According to Clyde, I missed out on a big fight. Midge and Tabby were throwing coffee in each other’s faces, and slapping each other. Wow! I really wish I could have seen that! (Go Midge, Go Midge!)

When I visited Static, he asked me to toss a good shark his way! Wow. Would you like a golden throne while I’m at it? Keep dreaming, squirrel.

I spoke with Opal, and she told me she always rolls around in flower petals on Sundays. She’s an odd one.

Later on, I went bug hunting. July is here now, so all of the valuable summer bugs are out now. I caught an elephant beetle, a tarantula, a scorpion, a couple of goliath beetles, a couple of cyclommatus beetles, and more. I earned about 70,000 bells from the bugs I caught.

Static, not content to just ask me for a shark, also wanted the goliath beetle in my pockets! He only offered me a gelato shirt for it! Go away, greedy squirrel.

The bug season is just beginning, so I’ll be sure to have more bug-catching nights over the next two months. If you’ll be doing the same, good luck on your bug hunts! And I’ll see you all next time. 🙂

Last week, I made a new pattern showing some party balloons. I also converted it to a QR code for use in New Leaf and Happy Home Designer, so you can use it in those game if you’d like. Just see my QR Codes page.

Yesterday, the clouds finally disappeared (for a day, at least), and I put my plan into motion. Tabby was right outside her house, so I started by trapping her there. My play was to have a pitfall beach party, so Tabby’s house was a good starting point. Maple walked by a minute later, so I squeezed her in too.

Next, I saw Static near town hall. He asked me for a new greeting; I told him to say “Trapped!” because I knew it would soon be very appropriate. After that, I started pushing him towards the party area. He was putting up quite a fight, though. When I saw Midge walk by, I had to give up on Static for a moment. I got Midge in the area rather easily, then I went back to work on Static.

It took longer than I liked, but I eventually included Static in the fun. The only other outdoor villager was Samson. I nearly had him pushed into the area, when I accidentally filled in the wrong hole. Static and Tabby nearly got out, so I had to focus on keeping them in. Although Samson got away for a bit, I eventually got him in.

In all, it took about 35 minutes just to trap everyone.

With that out of the way, it was time to plant some pitfall seeds. Of course, this is always bound to happen…

I left a safe strip down the middle of the party area, where I could peacefully observe the fun. At least, that was the idea.

Once I was done, I wanted all the villagers to go to the beach (to the south). However, they were having a great time at the party…just at the north end of the area. In fact, they didn’t want to leave!

They were so insistent about staying to the north that I had to take matters into my own hands. I had to push them to open up and truly enjoy themselves. And I joined in, too.

They all needed a push, but we all had a good time. Whether they liked it or not. 😛

Here is a video of yesterday’s events:

I played City Folk again tonight, and the flea market was underway…although I didn’t really participate. I cleaned up some of the leftover party mess (used balloons on the ground around Tabby’s house), and I also took Clyde some more medicine.

Have a great day, and I’ll see you next time. I hope you enjoyed the video!

On Saturday night, Opal told me that she’s prettier than a field of fireflies. Is comparing yourself to some insects really the new standard for beauty? Okay, if you say so, Opal. 😛

Samson suggested a new nickname for me, and it’s a very spectral special name. J-boo!

Maybe it’s just because I’ve been playing a lot of Mario games lately, as I made my Mario’s Morning Routine video, but this is all that came to mind.

I made some preparations for my next ACCF video, and I’ve been playing City Folk every day this week. I’m waiting for a sunny day to record the video, but every day since Sunday has been cloudy or raining. I know the rainy season will end on July 1st, but I’m hoping I don’t have to wait that long for one nice day. We’ll see.

Tabby had been asking me for some new clothes, so I bought her a military uniform at Able Sisters on Monday. I thought I maybe I could send her off to join the army or something. But when I took it over to her, she refused it! How rude!

Drift told me he planned on moving out of town, but fortunately, I was able to talk him out of it.

On Tuesday, Kabuki told me he’s really into watching soccer lately. He must be enjoying the World Cup competition that’s going on right now!

Pascal was in town on Wednesday, but I couldn’t find a scallop to give him. But I still spoke with him to hear his words of wisdom. He said that ideals are single flowers planted in the desert.

Yesterday, Kitty asked me for a ladybug. I caught one for her, and she rewarded me with a concrete wall.

Today, I bought a sunset top at Able Sisters. Maybe wearing something bright and cheery will help with the cloudy day week blues.

Clyde came down with a cold, so he needed some medicine. I bought some horse pills for him, since it just cost a mare mere 320 bells. I galloped back to his house, and handed him the medicine. Hopefully he’ll get some thorough bed rest and be back in the saddle soon. 😉

Virtually everyone has been saying “tweedledee” as their catchphrase, and it’s been annoying me lately. So when a few villagers asked me to change to something new, I jumped at the chance. Static now says “buzz off,” Opal now says “ol’ pal,” and Midge says “on Twitter.”

Speaking of Midge, I made a delivery for her, and she rewarded me with an old brick wall. What’s with all these hard walls as gifts lately? 😛

And after selling some fruit and fossils, my bank account balance reached 32 million bells. I’m sure I’ll add to that over the summer, especially in July and August, when all the rare summer beetles come out.

Okay, that’s all I have for now. But I hope to be back soon with a new blog entry and video. I’ll probably post the video the day after I record it… So if it’s sunny in Forest tomorrow, I’ll post the video Sunday. But it could take a bit longer if the weather doesn’t cooperate.

Have a good weekend!
