Jeff's New Horizons Blog

There was a meteor shower in town last night, and Celeste decided to show up for this one. She taught me how to craft a Taurus bathtub.

I crafted one right away, using some materials I had in storage.

Gulliver was today’s special visitor, so I dug up the five pieces of his communicator on the beach. I returned them to him, and I’m hoping that tomorrow is the day I get my golden shovel recipe. If it’s not, I’m going to go through my old blog entries and count all the times I helped out Gulliver to see if I’ve reached 30 or not.

Agent S told me about an odd spy comic she’s been reading. It’s called “You Can’t See Me, My Eyes Are Closed!” The spy has good vision, and he’s going undercover at a company which only hires people with bad eyesight. So he has to find a way to fail an eye exam. 👀

I actually got stung by two scorpions tonight, even though I saw them both in time. One was in the corner of a cliff, and my net hit the cliff. The other one hid behind a tree where I couldn’t see it, from any angle. So when I swung my net at where I thought it was, it got me.

Note: No Friday Night Forest this week.

Yesterday, I did some early-afternoon fishing…but I didn’t catch anything new. I also cleaned up lots of unwanted flowers, buried a few pitfall seeds, and then updated my dream. Head on over to dream address 6717-1633-3682 if you’d like to see the updated version of Forest!

Today, I was quite surprised to see that Apollo sent me a tremendous statue in the mail! I’ve never even seen this one at Jolly Redd’s shop before!

Unfortunately, Blathers informed me that it was a forgery. But at least now I have a photo of the fake one for comparison purposes in the future. (Note for anyone who may be new to the blog: I don’t use external guides for help, but I do take my own screenshots to compare them to what Redd sells.)

There was a camper at the campsite, so I went in the tent to meet Hans the gorilla…who looks like a yeti. While I like the idea of having an abominable snowman around, seeing Hans in person quickly turned me against the idea of asking him to move in. He’s like an ugly, overgrown Smurf with a pig snout nose.

Flick was in town today, so I grabbed the seven bugs I had in storage, and sold them for 36,750 bells.

At the campsite, I made some more minor changes. I extended the cliff a bit, which moved the waterfall closer to the campsite.

Ideally, I’d like to add a bridge at the top…but I’ve already used all eight of my bridges allotted. For now, I added a space of land to hop across. But I’m still not quite happy with this, so I may end up changing it again.

I wished on several shooting stars tonight, but there was no sign of Celeste in town. It’s been a while since I’ve seen her.

I made a playlist of my obstacle course videos, so you can quickly find them all in one place: Obstacle Courses. I already have an idea what I want to do with the next one, but I’ll keep my Mario race up for a few more weeks at least.

I received my latest reward from Gullivarrr in the mail, and it was a pirate dress. Even though I’ve received one of these before, this one was a different color (red).

When I visited Hornsby, he was talking about his pet ant. Not only is it the cutest ant that he’s ever seen, but the ant is apparently a great roommate who always pays his share of the rent on-time. Or so Hornsby says. 😛

There was a lost item (a book) on the ground in the amusement park. It was a difficult novel that a voracious reader would have…so I figured it belonged to a normal villager.

I asked Tia about it, and she told me it belonged to Midge. I took it over to Midge (who was standing on Rainbow Road), and she rewarded me with an apron. Oh joy. 😛

K.K. Slider was in town for his Saturday night show, and he performed K.K. Synth for me and Apple.

K.K. Synth is one of those songs that I like on the stereo (aircheck version), but not so much when performed live.

Agent S wasn’t at the show, but she told me that she really wanted to ask K.K. for his autograph.

She has some catching up to do, since her peppy rival Apple already has seven autographs from him. 😛

I decided to move my garbage pail, which had been next to Rizzo’s/Eloise’s house. I considered putting it in Peach Park, but I ultimately decided to put it at the amusement park instead.

If it’s not raining in my town tomorrow, I’m going to try to update my dream then. So you all can meet Eloise and see any changes I’ve made to my town since the last update.
