Jeff's New Leaf Blog

Yesterday, Daisy told me she was planning on moving out of town on September 30th (Friday). I decided to let her go. I like Daisy, but she’s been around for a while and it’s time to get some new blood in Forest.

To celebrate the Cleveland Indians (baseball team) clinching their division (the AL Central), I made a new pattern tonight. It’s the block C logo that they use.

I have also added it to the QR Codes page and put it on my custom-design sign in town as well. However, it doesn’t show up very well at night.

I shook a tree near my house, and some furniture fell out (a bishop). But as I was about to pick it up, Bob walked up to the same tree…and he shook it too! He seemed disappointed that nothing fell out of the tree. I guess he didn’t notice my bishop just sitting there.

My recent dream visitors have been Marlon from Westcity and Emma from Tsuki. Thanks for stopping by!

Note: I have now converted all 800+ old New Leaf entries to WordPress and they are back on jvgs.net! If you’d like to revisit the early days of Forest, here is the entry from my very first day in Forest: Moving In. From there, you can either click the “previous” and “next” links at the bottom of the page, or just use the calendar in the sidebar to navigate to other days/months.

Seeing those early entries again was a nice trip down memory lane for me. That includes my early rivalry with Yuka, the time I got stuck wearing spacewoman pants and couldn’t remove them, getting ugly villagers like Tex and Katt, and the time when I thought the always-sleeping Cyrus was Reese’s son. I was quite surprised when he finally woke up and started yelling at me, telling me not to flirt with his wife! And of course there was the first Wi-Fi night too.

The old comments didn’t survive the move, but feel free to comment on any entry, old or new. What were your favorite memories from those early days?

Tonight, I visited Zoella’s dream town of Pastelia (update: the new dream address is 5C00-0039-FCB2). It was suggested by Gia a while back. There are two sets of outfits you can choose from when you arrive, and there are also balloons, pinwheels, and ice cream cones to pick up and use.

Pastelia is a very pretty town, with lots of pastel colors, public works projects (PWPs) and flowers.

I saw an area separated from the rest with bushes. There was a sign there, so I went to go read it…and I fell into a pitfall. The sign says “Have a nice day.”

But on the bright side, all of those bags on the ground are ice cream cones that you can eat. I ate every last one of them. 😀 Yum!

In fact, sweets (and food in general) are a common theme here in Pastelia. There are cafés and bakeries galore! This town makes me hungry!

This path leads to the house of Zoella, the mayor. Her character gives the link to Zoella’s Tumblr page: pasteliapeaches.tumblr.com.

There’s a cool bank in the basement where the bank tellers are gyroids. I guess that makes sense for an underground vault.

If you’re looking for a pretty dream town to visit, definitely give Pastelia a look.

Back in Forest…

As for my own town, the money I earned today kicked my bank account balance up to 82 million bells.

And tonight, I checked out some live music at Club LOL. K.K. Slider performed King K.K. for me. It’s actually a pretty boring song, I thought. But Sprinkle, Molly, and Shrunk seemed to enjoyed the performance. Shrunk in particular was really shaking his butt to the music.

Luna told me my most recent dream visitor was Gin-Zuki from New Town. Thanks for stopping by, and I’ll see you next time!

2017 UPDATE

Pastelia’s old dream address of 4100-2171-4940 stopped working after the New Leaf update, but the town is now back online! The new dream address is 5C00-0039-FCB2. It looks much different now than it did last year, but it’s still a very beautiful town. Here are a few pics of Pastelia as of February 2, 2017:

There was also a maze made out of bushes.

Note: The town is apparently hacked, however. The bulletin board is at the event plaza instead of by the train station, and you’re able to walk onto the train tracks in the western part of town.

Yesterday, the Re-Tail in Acorn had perfect peaches as the premium item, so Beth invited me over to sell. I had 12 full baskets plus 4 more peaches: That’s 112 perfect peaches altogether, and they scored me a cool 672,000 bells. Thanks for letting me sell, Beth!

Today, I found a lost item (a book) on the ground near the town tree. Even though Rolf was in the area, it didn’t belong to him.

It took me 5-10 minutes to track down the item’s owner, Molly the duck. She thanked me for returning it and she gave her picture again.

I spotted Big Top sitting on the metal bench in Forest’s central park tonight. I’m glad this bench is strong enough to support the weight of an elephant. No offense, Big Top.

He asked me to join him, so I did. But only for a moment.

My recent dream visitor was Timothy from Goldleaf. Thanks for stopping by, and have a good weekend! I’ll be back with another entry tomorrow.
