Jeff's New Leaf Blog

Julian told me he wrote himself a letter that he wants to receive in the future. He put it in a time capsule, and asked me to bury it for him today.

So I buried it in my usual, easy-to-remember time capsule spot: the northwest corner of town.

Pashmina asked me for a cherry today. I let Beth take a bunch of fruit for her new town yesterday, so I was a bit afraid there might not be any cherries left…but fortunately, I found some. So I gave one to Pashmina.

After eating my cherry, she rewarded me with a froggy chair! Wow, there’s just so much froggyness lately!

I took it to Re-Tail and got it customized with the “red frog” option. I think I’ll put in another lily-pad table on the left side of my frog room, and use two red froggy chairs with it.

I went up to the Dream Suite and I dreamed of Heather’s town Hell (dream address 4700-6633-4425). Despite the name, it’s actually a pretty place. I love the brick paths, and all the blue flowers and bushes make it blue-tiful!

I also visited Heather’s town “in person” two years ago, when Heather won a giveaway for a bubble wand.

Back in Forest, Julian noticed something in my pockets and asked if it was an eel! I was relieved when I realized I did, in fact, have an eel in my pocket.

He offered me an eight-ball tee for it. I agreed to the trade, but was it a good trade for me? Signs point to no.

One other note, although it is off-topic. If you enjoy Splatoon, please check out my new video: 50 Surprise Attacks Vol. 4! Thanks, and I’ll see you all on Friday night–it’s time for Friday Night Forest once again!

Beth told me she was going to restart her town this past weekend, so I let her store some items in Forest until she got her new town up and running. As she put the items on the ground, she found something else: a pitfall seed that had been behind the face-cutout standee for two months!

Once she was done, I said goodbye to her before she deleted her character and town (Otaku). It was a matter of life and Beth.

Later on, she returned in a new form: Beth from Acorn. Some might say it’s a corny town name, but I’m nut the one to do it.

Before she left with her precious cucumber pack furniture, she made a stop at Shampoodle to get her hair done.

Yesterday, I made a visit to her new town. In her tent, we merged into a freaky creature, complete with an intermittent unibrow!

Sheldon the squirrel lives in Acorn (for obvious reasons), and I had a chat with him. He was talking about baseball and the sound of the bat hitting the ball. However, he may have been hearing a different sound: Beth was hitting me with her net!

Good luck with your new town, Beth! I’m sure you’ll have no trouble getting Acorn off the ground.

For Independence Day, I changed my town flag to the U.S. flag. I hope you all had a great 4th of July!

Today, Rhonda was once again at my campsite. She also camped here in May. How many times do I have to tell her I’m not interested?

It seems to be raining just about every day lately–that’s the rainy season for you. Rolf told me the rain makes him feel like a giant sponge.

I went to visit Molly, and fortunately, the rain hasn’t dimmed her spirits. I wanted to offer her a snack, but she already eight.

My recent dream visitors have been Alee from Sun City and Stan from Hampton. See you next time!

Agent S’s birthday was today, so I made sure to drop in and wish her a happy birthday. Julian the unicorn was also there to help her celebrate.

I gave her an aurora screen as her birthday present. She really seemed to love it!

I also chatted with Julian, and he seemed happy for Agent S.

Now that July is here, the summer bugs are now out in full force. You will hear the cicadas and you’ll see bugs on many trees.

I have finally decided to change the upstairs room of my house. It’s been a winter themed room since January 2014, and I kept all of the items I got from snowpeople up there. But it was long overdue for a change, so I ordered some stuff last night and received it today.

This may sound a bit odd, and it is, but I decided to make it a frog-themed room. In a way, it’s been a froggy year for me. On April Fools’ Day, I joked about becoming a Frogger blogger. And then in May, I spent a lot of time looking for frogs Emerald and Jambette (in AC and ACCF, respectively) as I recorded clips for my What if Animal Crossing Sounded Like Star Fox 64? video. (They doubled as Slippy Toad in the video).

Finding the frog shirt and frog-woman pole the other day must have been the final push that gave me the idea (and made me lose my froggin’ mind in the process).

There isn’t a swamp set in New Leaf, so I used the jungle wall and jungle floor. Some water was needed, so I ordered an outdoor bath. I also ordered two lucky frogs, two froggy chairs, a lily-pad table, and a couple of plants. I dressed up two mannequins as frogs, and I brought in a firefly lamp (from my museum exhibit) to add a little lighting. And I caught several frogs in the ponds outside to add some natural froggy sound effects.

It may not be amazing or anything, but it is nice to change things up every once in a while. Especially when it’s been two and a half years. 😀 If you’d like to check out my new pad, my dream address is 4300-2003-9889.

Luna told me my most recent dream visitor was Gongy from NootMilk. Thanks for stopping by, and enjoy the rest of your weekend!
