Jeff's New Leaf Blog

Today, Big Top told me he was planning on moving out of town on May 30th. But I made him reconsider.

Saharah was in town, and I paid her for some new wallpaper and carpet. She put in a blue-trim wall and a cheese floor.

There was a tent over at the campsite, and I found Pippy inside. I had no interest in inviting her to move in.

I did a little diving this evening, and while on the private island, I ate a famous mushroom. I wish I could just climb up the cliff when I’m big like this.

I decided to finally put my ice furniture away, even though I didn’t fully decorate the room just yet.

I laid out the ice furniture set (as well as the snowman set) for Booker to put into his storage. When I started up the game as Booker, Tortimer showed up!

Once the former mayor finally got the point, he told me Booker was now able to go out to the island. Of course, I have no plans on taking him there, but it was good to see Tortimer again outside of the island tours.

When I started back up as Jeff, Pete was there to hand me this letter from Nintendo. From May 24th through June 6th, a tokonoma is available as a Nintendo Zone download. I got this letter two days late, apparently. Probably because I leave the wireless switch disabled much of the time.

I headed up to the post office, and Pelly gave me the tokonoma.

It can be ordered for 2,300 bells. This is  what it looks like:

My long-overdue slideshow video is now online. It shows my best pictures from my 2nd year in the game (from May 2nd, 2014 to May 2nd, 2015): (view on Youtube)

Yesterday, I got Sprinkle’s goodbye letter in the mail. She also included her picture.

This morning, Joan was selling turnips for 110 bells apiece. I bought 3,000 of them.

Kabuki asked me for a pear this afternoon, so I tracked one down for him. He rewarded me with an alpine panel.

I made my usual trip out to the island, but I wasn’t in the mood for doing much touring. I just went on one pros-only bug tour and earned 12 medals for catching 10 bugs.

At the Dream Suite, Luna told me that Jessica from Sophie was my most recent dream visitor.

I got a letter from Rolf, thanking me for the medicine I took him while he was sick. He’s felling better now, and he sent me a tie-dye tee.

This morning, Re-Tail was buying turnips for 109 bells each. I was afraid I was going to lose money again (like I did last week), so I sold about half of my turnips. But in the afternoon, the price jumped up to 158 bells and I sold the remainder of my turnips for a modest profit.

I put my money into the bank, and my balance topped 42 million bells.

Today was Sprinkle’s last day in town, so I went in to say goodbye to her. But she was more interested in telling me how she’s a superstar with many fans.

Beth from Polly told me she wanted Sprinkle, so I invited her over. She went to Sprinkle’s house, but left the house before Sprinkle agreed to move in. I told her she may need to talk to Sprinkle again, but Beth took off and went roaming around town, showing no interest in taking Sprinkle…despite that being the sole reason I let her come over in the first place. Once I lost track of her and had no idea what she was doing, I disconnected.

I tried to find someone else to take Sprinkle, and eventually Merka agreed to take her. She also had some turnips to sell; I tried releasing some moths on her when she would come out of the store.

And Sprinkle is now a resident of Bribs.

Gulliver was down on the beach, talking about pyramids, pharaohs, and mummies. Clearly, he was headed to Egypt.

The island had the giant dragonfly tour today, which is one of the best tours. I went on it several times alone, and then later, I did several more with Merka. I earned a bunch of easy medals today.

Have a good weekend, everyone!
