Jeff's New Leaf Blog

Yesterday, I found an unusual item at Re-Tail: a pickle jar! Who recycles pickles?! Agent S, that’s who.

I bought the pickles, since recycling and being green is good for the environment. But I didn’t stop there: I took the pickle jar to Cyrus and had him customize it for me. That’s right, I’m turning Agent S’s unwanted pickle into a carrot! Orange you glad I’m getting to the root of the problem? Or maybe you just don’t carrot all.

Beth came over to shop, and I gave her a “tour” of T&T Emporium. By that, I mean I went around and tried to make a joke, pun, or song/TV reference for each item. For example, I told her the vacuum cleaner sucks. And after I bought the wall shelf, I told her I took a shelfie.

Tonight, I was quite disappointed to find Katie in my town once again. I just dumped her off in another town a few days ago, so why do I have to see this annoying cat again? Ugh, I hate Katie so much.

I was fishing tonight, when Pashmina decided to be annoying. She stood next to me staring as I caught this black bass. I could feel her stinky goat breath on my neck. Yuck.

Saharah was also in town tonight, and I paid her for some new wallpaper and carpeting. She put in an industrial wall and a playroom rug. What an odd combination.

When I put some money into my bank account, my balance topped 77 million bells.

Luna told me my most recent dream visitor was Harry from Priceton. Thanks for stopping by!

Late on Saturday night, I found Katie the annoying traveling cat in my town. Beth was kind enough to open her gate for me, so I dumped Katie off at her town Acorn. Now she’s Beth’s problem. 😛

While I was there, I got to hear the 6 a.m. music. That’s a song I rarely get to hear! I introduced myself to Beth’s villager Lily, who had an idea for a book called Acorn: Wild World!

Beth told me that Lily was moving out of Acorn soon (although later she got Lily to change her mind).

Yesterday, I got a bunch of letters with gifts attached in the mail. Wishy sent me a queen, Gulliver sent me a Manneken Pis (peeing statue), Katie sent me a toy camera, and Big Top sent me an office chair! It’s rare to get that many presents at once!

Squishy told me that perfect peaches were the premium item at her Re-Tail, and she opened her gate for me. So I headed over to her town Cosmic–but it’s a newer Cosmic, not the same town I previously featured in a Dream Suite Adventure.

After giving Squishy a basket of smuggled perfect peaches, I sold the rest at Re-Tail. Reese paid me a whopping 612,000 bells for them all! Thanks again, Squishy!

By the way, Squishy and Beth share a New Leaf blog called Cosmic Acorns. Go check it out! 🙂

When I returned home, I put my money bags into my bank account at the post office. My balance topped 76 million bells.

While asking Copper if any visitors were in town, he told me there was a camper at the campsite. I was surprised to see that Lily was inside! Is this the same Lily I just saw in Beth’s town just 16 hours earlier?

Beth came over for a short visit in the evening. When I tried to have a chat with my good buddy Bob, Beth got in the middle of our conversation. Literally.

And then today (August 1st), a message was posted on the bulletin board about the upcoming fireworks. That’s right, fireworks season is almost here. The first fireworks festival of the year is coming up on Sunday.

I found Pashmina sitting on my metal bench, and she told me about a little accident she had. She crossed her legs, her legs fell asleep, and then she peed! Yuck, now I’ll need to hose this thing off before sitting on it.

I made a trip out to the island for some bug-catching (and little fishing too). I netted over 200,000 bells worth of catches. But still, no Phineas. I really don’t know how I haven’t earned the fish or bug badges by now. I try to catch every random bug I see around town each day, and I catch a lot of the fish each day too. Phineas is driving me crazy.

Luna told me that Mia from SunTown was my most recent dream visitor. Thanks for visiting!

I got a letter from Bob in the mail, along with a gift. He said the included item reminded him of me. In fact, he even suggested that I may have been one of these in a past life!

I was afraid to see what the item was. But I checked it out, and the attached item was…a bug zapper! He thinks I was a bug zapper?! Not only is that insulting, but I’m shocked!

I also got a letter from a now-healthy Molly. She thanked me for the medicine I took her the other day, and she sent me a subdued-print tee.

I visited Beth’s town this evening, and then she came over to Forest for a bit too. We sat on the bench and looked at Bob’s butt the sky.

Up by the bulletin board, I released a bug (or two) in her face. But I was nice about it–I didn’t charge her for the snack. 😛

I ended the session before long. Later on, Rolf asked me for some new furniture to replace his carp. So I caught a black bass for him.

He rewarded me with his picture! I already have several duplicates of Rolf’s pic in a museum exhibit room though, so I didn’t even bother to save this one.

There was a meteor shower up in the sky tonight, so I went to my brick bridge to wish on some shooting stars.

Gulliver was down on the beach, and it took me a while to wake his lazy butt up. Once I did, he told me he was headed to a country that’s home to a peeing statue called a Manneken Pis. He also said the country was known for chocolate. Hmm, where to go for pee and chocolate? Belgium, of course!

I also found a lost item down on the beach. The first person I asked about it was Agent S, and she said it was hers! That was easy!

She gave me a kiwi tank for returning her mitten.

I hope you’re enjoying your weekend! I’ll see you next time. 🙂
