Month: April 2025

Sunday was Bunny Day (Easter), and Zipper T. Bunny was in town. He was talking about his eggs (as usual), and Ketchup looked at him like he was crazy. (He is.)

I spoke to him from behind and I got a good look at Zipper’s zipper.

He gave me another Bunny Day wand, and that’s about all there was to do.

On Tuesday, Ankha asked me for a new catchphrase to replace “in my tomb.” So I told her to say “I hate it,” and I love it!

I think this catchphrase is going to provide so much fun, for weeks to come. 😆

In Resident Services, I found a striped shirt in the recycle box and I decided to put it on. Bones later asked me for a wharf roach, so I searched for one in the rain. When I finally caught it for him, he rewarded me with a pacifier. He said it’s perfect for me!

He’s calling me a baby, right? I mean, there’s no other way to take that. 👶

On Wednesday, Rio told me she was thinking about moving out of Forest. I hadn’t let anyone leave for the past 11 months (when Punchy moved out last May), so I’ve been meaning to let somebody go. Rio has become that somebody.

She has lived in Forest for nearly three years, which is a fairly long time. So I had a good chance to get to know her. I said my final goodbye to her on Thursday.

I then grabbed five Nook Miles Tickets out of storage and headed to a mystery island. I decided that if I didn’t find anyone good, I’d roll the dice on a random move-in. However, that wouldn’t be necessary… I found a familiar face on the very first island I visited. Peanut!

I recently had Peanut in my Wild World town (from 2021-2024) and she grew on me a lot in that span. I like her a lot, so I didn’t hesitate to ask her to move to Forest. Of course, she won’t be the only squirrel pop star in Forest since I already have Agent S. But I’m happy to invite her to town! 🙂

Peanut moved in today, and I stopped by to greet her. Welcome to Forest, Peanut!

Here are a few other quick notes about this week:

• On Tuesday night, I recovered Wisp’s spirits for him. He rewarded me with a down skirt.
• Wednesday, Bones was sick with a cold. I gave him some medicine, and he gave me a soccer-uniform top.
• I helped out Gullivarrr, and he sent me a pirate-treasure chest Thursday.
• K.K. Slider performed “K.K. Aria” for me tonight.
• I gave a sick Agent S some medicine, and she gave me a dynamic tank top.

Until we meet again, Never Stop Crossing!

Last Sunday, Zipper T. Bunny hopped out of my nightmares and into my town. He warned me of the upcoming Bunny Day, and he started the onslaught of eggs that have infested every facet of life on Forest over the past week.

Not only can eggs be found on trees, underground, in wood, in the sea, in the air on balloons, and in rocks, but villagers will hand them to us as well. On Tuesday, Ankha gave me five sky eggs for free. The only “catch” is that she asked me to think more highly of her. 😛

Wisp was in town that night, and he sneezed out his spirits all over me. 😛

When I gathered them all back up and returned them, Wisp rewarded me with a papa bear.

June told me she was reading a mystery novel from the library (what library?), and she found a note in the pages. It said that penguins don’t get frostbite.

Gulliver was in town, so I dug up his communicator parts for him. He sent me a pyramid in the mail; that’s one of his better gifts!

On Wednesday, Melba was camping at the campsite. She’s definitely one of the cuter koalas in the game, but I did not ask her to move in.

Yesterday, Agent S told me she enjoys relaxing in her bathtub after dance practice. And by “dance practice,” she just means running circles for half an hour. 😆

Tonight, K.K. Slider was in town for his Saturday night show. I asked him for a random song, and he performed “K.K. Moody” for me, Ketchup, Rio, and Merengue.

It’s a sad song, but it was pretty good.

Bunny Day is tomorrow, so check out my new Bunny Day Guide if you need it! I also have guides for New Leaf and City Folk if you’re playing the older games too.

Last Sunday, I again paid Katrina to tell my fortune. She said she saw young twins standing at their shop door, confused because they forgot to order new goods to put out for the day.

She said that my luck with belongings will diminish…unless I pay her for purification, of course. I handed over the 1,000 bells to get another one of her lucky items. The next day (Monday), she sent me…a mini dharma! I was relieved that it wasn’t another gold turtle!

I now have two of Katrina’s four lucky items.

After shooting down a balloon present later, I was quite surprised to find a new crafting recipe I didn’t have yet! It was for a cherry-blossom rug!

Of course, the cherry-blossom items are only available for a short time of the year, so that explains how it slipped through the cracks. But still, this is my 6th April playing the game, so you’d think I would’ve got them all by now! 🌸

On Tuesday, I found a lost item (a bag) on the ground. Without even investigating, I just asked the first villager I saw about it. That was Bones, and it was his shopping bag! He rewarded me with a long-underwear set.

Today, C.J. hosted the April fishing tournament. I decided to give it a go, and C.J. gave me three minutes to catch as many fish as I could. During the run though, I noticed that Static, Merengue, and Bob were all bunched up together, fishing from the same spot! That’s probably not the best strategy! 😆

After my timer ran out, I chatted with the three of them. Merengue said she hadn’t even started fishing yet (oh really?), and Bob was looking forward to fishing on Switch 2. Me too, bud.

I returned to C.J. to wrap up my lone entry into the tournament. I caught six fish, so I earned a total of eight points. I sold my six fish for about 3,000 bells, and C.J. informed me that I had 22 points saved up in my pool. I must not have redeemed any points last time I participated.

I spent 20 of those points for two items: A marine pop wall and a fresh cooler. Coo. 😎

Because of the tournament, there is no K.K. Slider concert tonight.

I posted my latest New Horizons video this week, so I hope you’ll give it a watch:

Fair warning: I believe Zipper will be showing up tomorrow for his pre-Bunny Day visit, so be warned. 😆 I’m working on a Bunny Day guide that I’ll be posting within the next couple days. And I’ll be back with another entry next week. Hope to see you then!
