Jeff's New Leaf Blog

I got a letter from Pete informing me of the latest Nintendo Zone DLC. So I went and got my new slushie machine.

I went over to T.I.Y. to see if it could be ordered again. Thankfully, it can.

I decided to put mine in my back room, next to my neon sign that advertises just such a drink.

It was raining in Forest today. Fine by me, since it means I don’t have to water my flowers. And speaking of flowers, a fourth black rose appeared by my house.

A bit later, I ran into Teddy. He asked if I visited him while he was sick. He was sick?? Oops.

And Rolf asked me for some fruit for his dessert. I grabbed a peach for him. He liked it so much that he almost forgot how to speak.

He gave me a racer 6 tee as a reward; I didn’t care for it. But then I went to meet Rolf’s new neighbor, Kidd the goat. He actually seems pretty nice.

Back out in the rain, I ran into Teddy again. He asked for a new greeting and I had him say “I like the honey.”

And Aurora was telling me how her feet were all soaked and wrinkly. I did not need to know that.

I saw Katie standing in the rain, wanting to go to another town. To be nice for a change, I decided to help her out. I checked for open gates, and Rodney’s gate was open. But I kept getting error messages when I tried to visit. And when I tried again later, no gates were open. Sorry, Katie.

And after my shopping run for the day, I headed up to the Happy Homes Showcase. A new SpotPass home was there, belonging to Chiko from ToriTori. “Eggs everywhere,” she says.

I went in her house, and WOW, she was not kidding. Eggs everywhere, indeed!

She’s going to have her hands full when all of those eggs hatch and she has to take care of all those Yoshis!

Her house only had two rooms: the main room and an upstairs room. When I went up to check that other room out, I saw a UFO visiting another wheat field-filled room.

I’d like to think all of these alien wheat field rooms were inspired by my ACCF Wi-Fi Moments #14 video from 2009. (The scene in question starts at the 0:27 mark in the video below).

Late last night, Wendy let me visit her town to sell some perfect peaches. I also stopped to take a look at her illuminated tree. This will look really nice around Christmas time.

Then today, I got my gift from Gulliver in the mail. It was a matryoshka from Russia. It’s the set of three cannibalistic dolls that eat each other.

And I noticed that the grass and trees are now a lighter, yellower shade of green.

Over by the brick bridge, I saw a spot marked off for a new home. Kidd the goat will be moving in tomorrow. I’m not sure if I’ll like him or not. Time will tell.

But Kidd’s nearest neighbor Rolf must not be a fan. Because he told me he was going to be moving out of town on the 13th of this month. Sorry tiger, but you’re not going anywhere.

Over by town hall, Tabby and Canberra, of all people, were discussing beauty routines! Ha!

When they finished their conversation, I talked to Tabby. She asked me for some fruit. So naturally, I gave her a lemon.

In return, she gave me a pink pj shirt…thanks.

But unlike when I saw Tabby, I was happy to see Aurora. In fact, she even asked if I had a dorado in my pocket. Indeed I did, and she bought it from me for a cool 18,000 bells.

I made a quick trip out to the island and bought this snorkel mask for 20 medals.

I was hoping it would let me swim without a wet suit, but no such luck.

And back up in town, I noticed how the grass underneath my flowers has not grown back at all.

Those flowers have been there for quite a while, too. This is very discouraging. I no longer believe that the grass situation in New Leaf is any better than it was in City Folk. What a pain.

Today, my zen garden public works project was completed. So I quickly made my way down to check it out.

I think it looks really nice there. You can’t walk through it, though. 😛 I soon returned to town hall to trigger the grand opening ceremony for the zen garden.

Afterwards, I talked to Aurora. She must have noticed me watching her hospital TV the other night, because she gave it to me today!

And Rolf asked me to do him a solid. Excuse me?

I found Gulliver washed up on the beach, talking about dolls within dolls.

He’s apparently on his way to Russia.

Next, I headed up to Re-Tail. I shook a couple of trees along the way, when a bee came out at me! I started to run, but then realized I could probably catch it. Switching to my net, I pulled back, and swung…GOTCHA!

After selling the stuff in my pockets, I made my way up to Club LOL to watch K.K. perform. He sang K.K. Moody for me and then gave me the aircheck. Interesting cover…
