Jeff's New Horizons Blog

I opened my gate tonight at about 10:02 for Friday Night Forest. Alec, Wiicked (formerly Sacky), Bran, and Alex (from Pawnee) were the first few people to show up. They raided my area of free D.I.Y. recipes, and I was happy to see that most of them got used up.

We then held some space races: Alec beat Bran, and then Alex beat Wiicked. As Alec and Alex started a head-to-head battle for the title, Xavier came in. 😛 We re-started the race, and Alex won the grand prize: The universe. Well, that and 99k. 😛

We then held a few bonus races just for fun. Bran beat Xavier, and then Wiicked also beat Xavier. (Sorry, Xavier!) 😛 But everybody got to play two matches, so we ended our space mission for the night.

Logan joined in, and we all hung out in my house for a while. This was my first Friday Night Forest since I’ve redecorated my house at the end of May. After a while, we all went to annoy Beardo. I used some party poppers to blow his brains out. 😛

We hung out in the Animal Crossing museum/castle for a bit, and then we took a group photo on the Wordle lights.

Somehow, we ended up near Resident Services. I mentioned that next year will be New Leaf’s 10th anniversary, which seems insane. In fact, the 10th anniversary of the American release date will be on a Friday, which has me toying with the idea of having a New Leaf Friday Night Forest for the occasion. Of course, that’s still 11 months away, but it’s an idea.

Around 11:40, Wiicked left for home. Shortly after, Alex turned into Papa Smurf! He always has the most unique, creative costume ideas. Then we all went up to the Roost for some late-night coffee.

We then had some deep, serious, philosophical discussions.

We then enjoyed some of the arts. In particular, my newly-completed art gallery.

Bran left around 12:20, Logan left around 12:30, and I ended the session at nearly 12:45. Thanks to all who came, I had fun!

I’ll be back with another blog entry tomorrow.

I helped out Wisp twice recently: He gave me a heart apron on Sunday and a cool chair on Monday.

Yesterday (Tuesday), C.J. was in town with a seasports challenge for me: He wanted me to catch three small-fry fish in a row. So I caught a pale chub, a butterfly fish, and a horse mackerel to complete the challenge. I then grabbed some fish from storage, and sold C.J. 130,000 bells worth.

I shot down a balloon present that contained a sky-high total of 30,000 bells!

Today, Flick was in town…so I had another large payday. I sold him a bunch of bugs for 162,000 bells even.

(I later sold him two more bugs for 15,000 bells.)

When I visited Agent S, she was talking about rock music. She mentioned that I (and a “person I like”) could rock all day, and “keep believing.” I’m pretty sure she’s actually referencing “Don’t Stop Believing.” 😂

She even admitted to getting the lyrics mixed up a bit. 😛

Several of my villagers commented on the upcoming Bug-Off this weekend. Apollo talked about pulling out his lucky net. But he said this as he held his broom up in the air; I thought it looked funny. 😛

I am still planning on having Friday Night Forest this Friday night at 10 p.m. Eastern time, for people already on my Switch friend roster. So I may seem some of you then…and Friday night’s blog entry is likely be posted very late. 😛

Yesterday, Gullivarrr was in town and I went diving to find his communicator. I returned it to him, and today he sent me another sea captain’s coat.

Bones was talking about laying down in the grass, but at the time, he was actually sitting on my Wordle lights. 😛

It was K.K. night at the plaza, and I (accidentally) asked him for a random song.

Fortunately, he played a song that I like: K.K. Condor. Sasha, Static, Ketchup and Beardo were also there to enjoy the show.

Hornsby was elsewhere in town (Rainbow Road, to be exact). But he too had K.K. on his mind: He said K.K.’s voice was like butter dripping everywhere.
