Jeff's New Horizons Blog

When I visited Lopez today, I saw that my buddy Hornsby was there for a visit. Lopez was telling me about his rocking chair, and how it was custom engineered to hug his butt. However, it was Hornsby’s (considerably larger) butt that was hugging his chair at that particular moment. 😂

Accessing the Nook Stop machine today earned me enough Nook Miles that my account total hit 500,000 miles! There’s not really much point to it, but I thought it was an interesting milestone anyway. I know, I’m weird. 😛 I may use some of them soon though, because I want to visit some mystery islands and stock up on weeds and bamboo. (Again, I’m weird, haha.)

K.K. Slider was actually performing at the plaza on a Saturday for a change (*gasp*). 😛 So I asked him for a random song, and he played Rockin’ K.K. for me. Midge, Keaton, Agent S, and Rizzo were also in attendance.

When I went diving for scallops, Pascal gave me a DIY recipe for a mermaid chair. I made one and put it in my room.

As I mentioned recently, I was informed that Tybalt’s name in French is Jeff. Thanks to Anna on Youtube for pointing this out to me.

I wanted a visual example of this, so I checked my Welcome Amiibo cards. While Tybalt’s card does indeed show his other language names, I didn’t have that card. I was thinking about asking someone to take a screenshot for me, but then I thought of something. The language can be changed in the Switch menu, so I could do it myself! And that’s what I did. Here’s a pic of Jeff greeting Jeff. 🙂

The last fireworks festival of the year is coming up tomorrow night. I’ll be opening my gate for friends at some point. It’ll likely be sometime around 9 p.m. Eastern time (6 p.m. Pacific), but I suggest checking my Twitter for a more precise time. See you all then!

Lopez was wondering why someone (me) left a plain wooden shop sign on the side of the road.

Has he never been to Apple Lane before? Maybe if he could read the sign, he wouldn’t be so confused. 😂

When I found Pascal, he told me people were telling him his shirt was on inside-out. But he didn’t care, because he was dressing for himself, not for them.

That’s fine and all, but there’s a problem with that story. Just on Monday, he told me that he never wears shirts! So how could his shirt be inside-out if he wasn’t wearing a shirt in the first place? 🤔 Anyway, he gave me some mermaid shoes in exchange for my scallop.

In the bug wing of the museum, I ran into Louie. There was an atlas moth seemingly hovering in mid-air as I spoke with Louie.

Kicks was in town, but I didn’t buy anything from him.

Back at home, I noticed my bathroom was filling up with garbage! 😉

Just kidding. I noticed that I had enough trash in storage that I was able to craft the garbage-heap wall and flooring. 😛 I can’t imagine actually using this wall/flooring in my house, but I put it into storage just in case.

Not much else was going on, and I felt like I was in a bit of a rut. So I brainstormed and tried to think of something new to put in my town. I came up with an idea (but not the specifics), but I’m not going to start on it until next week. But if any of my visitors Sunday night want to jump on the jumping pillars, I suggest you do it while you can. That’s where I’m planning on putting the new area.

Reminder: There is no Friday Night Forest tonight, but I’ll be opening on Sunday night for the final fireworks festival. The time is uncertain, but it will likely be somewhere around 9pm Eastern time. Just check Twitter for the exact time once Sunday night comes around.

Final thought for the night: I’d love to hear what everyone’s favorite parts of my island are. If you’ve visited or dreamed of Forest, could you rank your top three attractions? To refresh your memory, I’ll list some of them here: The frog race course, Peach Park, Rainbow Road, the AC cemetery, Apple Lane, the sumo ring, arches, campsite, amusement park, Sudden Valley, etc. Leave a comment below!

I received a letter from Gulliver in the mail, and he sent me a geisha wig for helping him out yesterday. I would say that’s disappointing, but I’ve reached the point where I wasn’t expecting anything good from him anyway, so I’m not all that surprised. 😛

Leif was in town, and I bought some rose seeds from him. Rose seeds are very rare in Forest, so I was glad they finally showed up. I want to start breeding some roses other than black and gold, so I planted a few in my flower garden.

Nook’s Cranny had a shaved-ice maker, so I bought one for Hornsby and wrapped it up.

When I ran into Rizzo, he told me he got in a fight with Hornsby. (I’m sure it was all Rizzo’s fault! 😉). He asked me to deliver an apology gift for him, so I agreed to help out. I took the gift (a camo tee) over to Hornsby, and he seemed to like it. In return, he gave me…a shaved-ice maker. So then I gave him the wrapped gift I already had for him in my pockets.

So yes, we exchanged shaved-ice makers, but it wasn’t the same one. 😛 Anyway, he gave me an arcade seat in return.

Over near town hall, Midge said she saw me with an axe and got scared!

Why were you spooked, Midge? You think I would hurt you? I thought we were friends!

I went diving in the ocean, and it took me 12 dives to find a scallop. Pascal popped up to tell me that eyeballs are like windows for the brain to look outside. 😀 He gave me a pearl for the scallop.

I played later on to check for Celeste or Wisp, but no luck. I haven’t seen Wisp in eight days and I haven’t seen Celeste in 16 days! Has anyone else noticed not seeing them as much lately? Not sure if Nintendo made a change to their frequency or if I’m just unlucky lately. Well, I don’t even care about Wisp that much, but I really miss Celeste because I’m trying to get her DIY recipes.

As you know, all villagers in New Horizons are technically islanders. But it wasn’t always that way. Originally, islanders were a separate set of animals that could only live on an island separate from your town. Here’s a video that takes a look back at the original Animal Crossing islanders on GameCube.

See you all next time!
