Jeff's New Leaf Blog

I saw an unusual item in Re-Tail today; it was Octavian’s Gaudi’s lizard. I made sure to buy it.

When I checked the turnip prices, I was shocked to see Reese was paying 524 bells each for them!

However, I had already sold my turnips earlier in the week for less than half that price.

I went in to visit Big Top, and he quickly informed me that it was his birthday! Uhh…of course it is! I wouldn’t forget about you! I’ve got the memory of an elephant! 😀

I had just the gift for him. I’ve been saving it for him for a long time! 😉 It was a Gaudi’s lizard! 😀

He said he didn’t expect it, but then he called it an awesome present. So that was good to hear. Drago was also there to help Big Top celebrate.

Over by my metal bench, Sprinkle told me that she was planning on moving out on October 7th. It was like a gift from above! Oh wait, there actually was a gift from above flying by.

I kid, I kid. I’m not ready for Sprinkle to move out just yet, so I asked her to stick around. I still want her picture first before I let her go.

I had watered about half of my flowers when the clock struck 5:00 and it started raining.

Oops. When I first started up the game and saw the clouds, I thought to myself: “I should check the instrument shelter to see if rain was coming.” But I completely forgot about it. Oh well, at least it still saved me some time.

Up at the Dream Suite, Luna told me that Carine from Hawaii was my most recent dream visitor.

I posted about my high turnip prices on Twitter, Tumblr, Facebook, and the Friend Code Exchange page. But only one person (Fortune from Diadem) came over to sell turnips, as of 8 p.m.*

As a reminder, there is no Friday Night Forest tonight. But I’ll be back with another blog entry tomorrow, so I hope to see you then! Have a good weekend and thanks for visiting JVGS!

*Update: Later on, Samantha from Hoplite and Nickie from Candylan also sold turnips.

Today, Kidd told me that fishing was purifying his soul. Uhh sure, pal.

I took a trip out to the island, and on the way back, Kapp’n told me I look exactly like he did when he was younger! I seriously doubt that!

Up at the Dream Suite, Luna told me that Elsa from Lund was my most recent dream visitor. I stopped over at Squishy’s town for a moment. She had an item for me and I gave her a balloon.

A bit later, Madisyn came over to pick up an icy shirt I ordered for her.

I also offered her a balloon…but I told her one of them was filled with poisonous gas, so she had to choose wisely!

I also had an item for Mark, so he came over to pick it up. He said he was wearing his hunting king look. I don’t even know what that means, but I’m probably not going to be taking any fashion advice from him anytime soon.

After Mark left, Madisyn invited me over to her town. She showed me her modern town hall with her Sugar Skull flag.

I got to meet the camouflaged gator, Sly.

In Madisyn’s house, she told me to check out her “friends” here. They watch her while she sleeps. o.O

While I was upstairs, she told me that she lost her stylus. That’s what she was trying to say here:

I tried taking a nap on the bed, but Madisyn made it hard to get any sleep.

Outside of her house, she showed me her bamboo and bushes. They give her house a bit of a jungle feel. I almost expected Donkey Kong to jump out of that top window and start looking for his golden bananas.

Madisyn’s friend Liz also came over to visit, but Madisyn suddenly had to go. Nice almost meeting you, Liz. 😛

After that, I wrapped up my night in New Leaf. As a reminder, tomorrow is the first Friday of the month, so there’s no Friday Night Forest this week. I’ll see you all next time though! 🙂

I got a letter from the post office today, telling me I earned 99,999 bells in interest on my bank account balance. I also got a letter from Gulliver, who sent me a skeleton figurine from Mexico. I knew it would fit in perfectly in my Halloween-themed back room.

While making my rounds, I ran into Jack, the czar of Halloween!

He was telling me how to serve him on Halloween. I’ll have to use masks to scare the villagers in town, and I’ll want to stock up on candy too. He gave me a mummy mask, although I still have all six Halloween masks in storage from last year. Anyway, I went into the Roost, but I was unable to work a shift.

New Leaf gives players a full week to have a chance to meet up with Jack to be informed about the Halloween festivities. The game considers all seven days to be event days, so you won’t be able to work in the cafe until October 8th.

Halloween masks will be sold at Able Sisters, so you’ll probably want to pick up one of each if you intend to participate on October 31st. Candy will be sold at the Nooklings’ store, as will spooky furniture.

Up at the Dream Suite, Luna told me that Claudia from SwagTown was my most recent dream visitor.

Before I was done playing for the night, I decided to change my path to the black and orange brick pattern I used last year. If you want it for your own town, you can scan it from the QR Codes – Paths page (it’s all the way at the bottom of the page).
