Jeff's New Horizons Blog

Flick was in town on Thursday, and I had 24 bugs to sell him. He gave me nearly 140k for them all. Nice. 🙂

Yesterday, the Nooklings were paying 123 bells for turnips. It was too late in the week to risk waiting for something higher, so I sold them at that price for a total of 249,690 bells. (That included 30 free turnips that I picked up at the hospital on Monday.)

Thanks to Xavier’s help, my poster wall is now complete. Rizzo and Beardo almost look as if they can see the cannon pointed at them. Rizzo is half turning away while looking scared, and Beardo can’t even bear to watch. 😆

Thanks again, Xavier for five of the posters, and Alex for the idea. 🙂

The June Bug-Off was held today, and I participated in three rounds. In the first round, I was doing well, and I even caught a banded dragonfly. Of course, it helped that it got hung up on the bridge, but I’ll take it. 😆

I ended up catching 12 bugs, which equated to 14 points. My 2nd round went awfully bad; I kept scaring away a bunch of ground/flower bugs, and I even missed an ant! How does that even happen? How could I fail to catch a snail? …I mean ant. 😉 My third round went a bit better, but not as good as round one. Anyway, here are the complete results of my three rounds:

• Round 1: 12 bugs, 14 points, 10,860 bells 😎
• Round 2: 5 bugs, 7 points, 1,020 bells 🤦‍♂️
• Round 3: 9 bugs, 11 points, 7,905 bells 🙂

I redeemed 30 of my points for rewards. I scored a bug cage, a butterflies wall, and…another bug cage. How exciting. 🥱

And wouldn’t you know it, the first bug I caught after the Bug-Off caused my net to break. 😛

The bells I earned from selling bugs and turnips this week helped my bank account balance grow. I hit the 60 million bell mark tonight. 🙂

K.K. wasn’t in town tonight, due to the Bug-Off. See you all again next time!

On Sunday morning, a bowl of turnips just barely caught my eye as I ran past, moving around behind my cliff. 😆 It was Daisy Mae’s head, of course. 😛

She was selling turnips for 96 bells apiece (a pretty good price), and I bought 2,000 of them for a total of 192,000 bells.

On Sunday night, I found Pascal while diving in the ocean. He told me that trees are Earth hair, grass makes a beard, and deserts are bald spots. Perhaps this wasn’t his deepest bit of wisdom. 😛

There was a thunderstorm underway, so I decided to record some gameplay of myself grinding for Nook Miles during the storm. I may post that video this weekend.

I also helped Wisp out by recovering his spirits, and he gave me a stewpot. (Just need to take it home, add some broth, a potato…and baby, you got a stew going.) 😉

Today, C.J. was in town, and he wanted me to catch three big-time fish. I caught a sea bass, a catfish, and a red snapper to complete his challenge. I then sold him nine fish for 26,100 bells. I didn’t have any sharks for him this time, so that total wasn’t very impressive.

My wall of posters of former villagers is nearing completion. Xavier is ordering me several of the posters for me that I didn’t have in my catalog. Thank you, Xavier! 😊 But the funny thing is, when I put the posters in two equal rows, in sequential order based on when they left, Beardo will be directly beneath Rizzo. So one cannon shot can shoot them both! 😆 So convenient!

Are there any of these of these villagers you completely forgot I had in my town? I still regret not keeping Claudia longer. And yes, Midge will eventually have two posters up, assuming I keep this wall up long enough.

I recently posted a video of what it’d be like if Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom characters (I almost typed villagers 😆) narrated Animal Crossing. If you haven’t seen it, here it is. Hopefully it will give you a laugh or two (or at least a smile). Enjoy!

By the way, I’m not having Friday Night Forest this week, but I am planning on it for next week (June 30th). It’s been a while! We will be sure to test out my new (small) obstacle course I mentioned previously, and it will be the last time racing on my vaulting pole race.

One other thing I want to mention: I no longer use the “Also on JVGS” sidebar that shows my latest blog entries, because the plugin I was using caused some problems (and slowed down my whole site). But I still list my latest 5-6 blog entries on the JVGS home page, so check there if you want to see what’s new.

I’ll be back with another entry later in the week (likely on Saturday, for the first Bug-Off of the year). See you soon! 🙂

Yesterday, Midge surprised me by telling me she thought she knew my face from somewhere! Did she finally recover her memories of living in this town before??

But no, she thought she just recognized me from a magazine cover! Oof.

C.J. was in town, and he wanted me to catch three small-fry fish. So I caught an angelfish, a pale chub, and a freshwater goby to complete the challenge. He gave me 5,400 bells for them. I later grabbed seven fish out of storage (three of them were sharks), and C.J. gave me 114,000 bells for them.

K.K. Slider was in town tonight, and he performed K.K. Etude for me, Agent S, Bones, Rio, and Punchy.

A couple other quick notes about the past few days:

• Celeste gave me a Gemini fragment on Wednesday.
• Gulliver sent me a hula doll on Thursday.

I’ll be posting a new video on Youtube tomorrow, so keep an eye out! Never Stop Crossing!
