Jeff's New Horizons Blog

On Wednesday night, I received my moody painting in the mail from Jolly Redd. I took it up to the museum, and Blathers confirmed its authenticity! So I was able to donate a real work of art to the museum two days in a row! That sure doesn’t happen very often!

Celeste was in town, and she gave me five star fragments. With the gold rose-lined path to the museum directly behind her, I thought this made for a nice photo.

C.J. was also on the island; I caught three big-time fish to complete his challenge, and then I sold him 84k worth of fish.

Yesterday, Static told me that he’s never used a computer until just the other day! 😮

It was his friend’s computer, and the friend kept talking about dragging and dropping. So Static dragged the computer outside and dropped it in the recycle bin! 😮 He’s not going to end up with any friends if he keeps doing things like that!

Today, Gulliver was in town. I gathered up his communicator parts for him. He will send me a prize in the mail tomorrow.

When I ran into Apollo, he acknowledged Gulliver’s presence in town, and he seemed annoyed that he was here. He even told me to give Gulliver a hard time for him. 😛

After customizing some furniture, I earned 3,000 Nook Miles for completing the “Furniture Freshener” achievement.

I’m making progress on many of my achievements, but on some others, I still have an extremely long way to go. I wonder if the coming 2.0 update will add any new achievements? With all the things added, it seems likely. I guess we’ll find out next week!

I’ll be back with another entry tomorrow. Hope to see you then! And don’t forget to keep stocking up on candy if you’ll be playing on Halloween! 🎃

On Sunday night, Louie asked me to play a treasure hunt game. He gave me six minutes to find the buried treasure, and I needed most of that time. It took me four and a half minutes to find it, which is unusually long! But when I returned the gift to him, he opened it up…and gave me his photo! It’s a duplicate, but that’s still a nice gift.

Yesterday, Saharah was in town. I bought a flowing-river flooring and a dark-chocolate wall from her.

Today, Louie did something nice again: He sent me some art in the mail!

It was a robust statue, and it was authentic! Even more importantly, it was one that I needed for the museum! He also sent me a statue I needed in August too, so he’s been quite helpful lately!

Hornsby asked me to play a treasure hunt game today, but he only gave me three minutes. But this time, I only needed about `15 seconds to find the item! However, this prize was just an apron.

Over at Nook’s Cranny, Apollo said that the cat grass wasn’t grabbing him. He’s not a cat, so I didn’t think that was much of a surprise. I don’t know what he was expecting.

Jolly Redd was in town tonight, so I boarded his ship. He had three works of art that I already had in the museum (2 were fake, 1 was real), and he also had a moody painting. I wasn’t sure if it was real or fake, but I bought it regardless. I’ll find out tomorrow.

I had Wisp in my town on Sunday night and then again tonight. He gave me a rotary phone on Sunday and a blue diner wall tonight.

There is a new seasonal item available for the Day of the Dead: It’s a marigold decoration, and you can order it now through November 3rd.

Yesterday, I listened in on a conversation between Marina and Hornsby. They were playing a word game, and Hornsby had to come up with a word that rhymed with ninja. He decided on “binge-yeah,” and Marina objected to that because it’s not a real word.

She said he was just mashing up two unrelated words, and that was true. But that just made Hornsby start thinking of mashing foods together, in this case, pie and ice cream.

He called the new invention “pice-cream.”

Today, Apple told me she was on a mission: She wanted to take a great photo with every NookPhone filter. She particularly liked the “dramatic” filter.

She even joked that it might make her too powerful. 😛

It was K.K. Slider night, and I asked him for a random song. He performed K.K. Waltz for me, Marina, Bones, Hornsby, and Apollo. The song was just alright, but it was nice to have a bunch of villagers at the concert.

After the show, I waltzed inside Resident Services. In honor of the recent release of Metroid Dread, I decided to make the Metroid find-item jingle my new town tune.

In case you’re wondering, I haven’t bought Metroid Dread yet, but I plan on getting it soon.

Less than two weeks until the New Horizons update arrives! 🙂 I’ll see you all next time.
