I know I’m late to the party, but I recently started collecting Nook Points in the NookLink part of the Nintendo Switch Online app. I redeemed my first 100 points for Isabelle’s photo. Her favorite quote is “A good attitude will always take you further than a bad habit.”
Don’t mind the elephant in the room. She barged in as soon as I put the photo down. Because of course she did. 😛
C.J. was in town yesterday, but he was standing up on a cliff by my arches. There’s not much space to walk around up there, so I don’t know what he was doing.
Meanwhile, Admiral was under a tree, sitting in his own…uh, scent. 😛
I hope Static doesn’t open his window!
This morning, I did some morning aerobics group stretching when only one of my villagers was awake. So it was just a partial group. 😉
Today, I plucked two purple hyacinths and I had enough to make my first hyacinth lamp.
K.K. Slider was in town, and he performed K.K. Hop for me and Bones.
Kapp’n took me out to a star fragment mysterious island tonight.
These islands are always so pretty, but the the color especially pops when I’ve been seeing nothing but the white snow cover of winter for the past 2+ months. But on the bright side, Animal Crossing winter ends in less than a week. Spring is coming!
Last night, my bank account balance reached 35 million bells. Honestly, I’ve been close to that figure for a few months…but I kept spending bells before I hit the milestone. A lot of bells went to Version 2.0 update-related features (like the storage upgrades) and items (like the castle towers/gates/walls–those things are expensive!).
Today, I found some more purple hyacinth flowers budding. This is my 2nd time finding some…at least as far as I’m aware. Considering I almost sold the one I dug up today because it looked blue to my colorblind eyes, it’s certainly possible that I’ve had purple ones before last week, and just didn’t notice. I had this same problem in New Leaf, with the purple and blue varieties of some flowers looking almost indistinguishable to me.
There was a tent at the campsite, so I went inside and saw this.
Paula the bear. No thank you.
I flew out to Lottie’s island to work a shift at Paradise Planning. I tried to use the amiibo machine to call up Tom Nook, but I was told I can’t connect with VIP clients yet. Apparently that means no special characters until I get further in the game.
So I went out to the beach, and I saw that Zelda’s father (Lionel) had a very unusual request. He wants a vacation home that features lots of toilets?!
Really? That is your #1 priority?
He called it a “Restroom Refuge.” So I picked out an island for him that looked like a toilet seat. 😂
Since Lionel said you can never have too many toilets, I tested out that theory. I filled his front yard with toilets, and I added a couple of fountains (even though I couldn’t use the regular fountain yet). I also added a backlit sign to welcome visitors to Toilet Island. It was customized to say VIP. The “I.P.” sounds like “I pee,” so I thought it was kind of funny. I’m not sure what the V stands for, though. “Verily, I pee?” 😂
Toilet Island. You’ve simply got to go!
When I went inside, Niko told me that I can now use partition walls to separate rooms. That could be useful for separating a bathroom from a living space.
I initially had the idea of placing a golden toilet atop a forbidden altar. But I couldn’t do that, because the toilet can’t be placed on other furniture. Oh well, at least I gave it a try. 😛
Instead, I filled the left side of the room with more toilets (including a litter box in case some of his friends are cats), and a couple of sinks as well. The other part of the room is a small living space, with a bed, lamp, and tables with lots of liquids to drink. 😛 I just went with the flow, using an abstract wall and gray argyle-tile flooring.
Lionel was satisfied (and presumably, relieved) to have so many toilets at his disposal. Lottie gave me 9,000 Poki for completing the task. Niko then sent me a DIY recipe for a partition wall to use in my own house.
Wisp was in town last night, and I gathered up his five spirits for him. In return, he gave me some patterned stockings.
Today, Sasha was visiting Marina. After speaking to them both, I left out the door… Seeing both of them wave goodbye at the same time just struck me as adorably cute. 😛
When I checked my mail, I found 11 valentines with gifts! All ten of my villagers sent me one, as did Isabelle. Each one came with either a heart-shaped bouquet or a chocolate heart.
Another small feature of Valentine’s Day, which was first introduced in City Folk, is the ability to drink hot chocolate at the Roost. Even though Brewster pretends to serve you coffee initially, you get a sweet surprise once you taste the hot beverage.
I’m glad to see that this feature has returned. Happy Valentine’s Day! ♥
Agent S told me about a comic book called Mr. Beard’s Hairventure. She told me that the first issue came with a beard trimmer…but she can’t grow a beard. 🧔 Maybe she could trim her tail with it instead?
Jolly Redd’s ship was in town again…just three days after his last visit! Unfortunately, he didn’t have any art that I needed this time. But I did buy a few of his wall-mounted neon lights! They were purple, but I paid Cyrus to customize them and turn them blue. I’m not sure how I’ll use them yet, but they are pretty cool.
Nook’s Cranny also had a really cool item for sale, a siren. It would be a good thing to use in an obstacle course or race, perhaps as the final goal. Maybe whoever lights up the siren first wins?
I’ll see you all next time. Happy Valentine’s Day, and Never Stop Crossing!
