Jeff's New Leaf Blog

After starting up the game today, I went in to check on my new room. I moved a few pieces of furniture in there to get things started.

After that, I went to the Roost to work a shift and also to drink some coffee.  But for some reason, it had an acidic taste and fruity scent? I don’t know what Brewster is trying to pull, but that is not coffee!

Back outside, Benedict approached me. He wanted to move out. I’m kind of neutral towards Benedict, but it’s been a while since I got a new villager, so I didn’t try to stop him.

There was a summer camper in town, so I went to see who was in the tent. It was Gigi. She said maybe we’ll be neighbors someday. Oh no, we absolutely will not!

I quickly left the tent without playing any games or talking to her any more. I then ran into Katt (oh joy), and to my surprise, she was concerned about the thought that Benedict might be moving!

Aurora asked me a few questions and then determined that I needed cotton candy.

Over by my town tree, Gracie was there again! It’s weird that I went over two months without seeing her at all, and then she shows up twice within eight days. She was expecting a “modern” look for her fashion check. I decided it was time for a shopping run.

But first, a stop at the museum. My ancient statue from Crazy Redd was real!

In Able Sisters, the only “modern” item they had was a jade plaid tee.

It looked like I was out of luck for now. I returned to town, where Molly was also concerned about Benedict.

She told me to go check up on him. Now I feel kind of bad about not stopping him.

I did track him down and talk to him, but he didn’t mention moving again. If he does, I think I’ll tell him to stay after all.

Anyway, I went back to Gracie with my jade plaid tee. I know I didn’t have anything to go with it, but I decided to give it a shot anyway. She called me a hot mess.

I tried beating her with my toy hammer, but it wouldn’t let me! So unfair!

Back up by my fountain, I saw Aurora and Tex. I decided to take a picture of my two penguins: the beautiful female, the horrible male.

I also spotted Phineas walking around, so I went up to him to see what new badge I was getting! He gave me the Backyard Gardener badge, apparently because I have lots of flowers.

I returned to my house, and I was playing my harp upstairs when I got interrupted by Aurora!

She just stopped in to say hello. That was nice of her.

Later on, I asked Wendy if I could go to her town to shop for “modern” clothing. Her Able Sisters didn’t have anything modern, but she let me borrow a blue zap suit to try out. So we headed back to Forest, where Gracie shot me down once again. These fashion checks are seriously annoying, and I’m really not happy about the fact that they’re required to get the final T&T store upgrade. I think it’s going to be a long time before I get that last store.

Anyway, I let Wendy see my new room before I kicked her out ended the party. She pointed out that the outside of my house has changed too! I didn’t even notice that. Although from the outside, it looks like the upstairs got a room on the left, and that’s not the case at all. The new room is on the first floor.

After that, I made a quick solo trip to the island. I’ve been looking for a silver axe, and I’ve been trying to find the hide-and-seek tour again. My island had neither, so I had nothing left to do but trick Leila. Actually it was an accident; I thought I had something worthless to sell her, but I didn’t.

See you tomorrow!

Today, Aurora gave me a waffle tee. Do you like waffles? Yeah, I like waffles!

I decided to wear it for a little while. Before long, Rory came up to me, wanting to get to my house right away! He wanted to come in for a quick visit.

Once we got there, he asked if my sofa can fit two. Uhh, yeah…

And he wanted to talk about “technique.”

And then he sneezed… I think…

Next, he started talking about muscles that you can’t see… At this point, I was feeling a bit uncomfortable and just wanted him out of my house.

Thankfully, he did leave after that. So I went to work a shift at the cafe. I got all of the customers’ orders perfect today, and Brewster gave me a fourth gyroid, the mega brewstoid. Here it is, on the far left:

Crazy Redd was in town today, so I went into his tent to see what he had for sale. I could tell the mystic statue he had was a fake, because it’s one I had bought before. As for the other three items, I ultimately decided on this ancient statue. This item was called a spaceman in City Folk.

As I continued my walk, I stopped to take a picture of the police station as seen from across the river. As you can see, it was a nice, clear night in Forest.

And later on, I had earned enough money to pay off my latest house expansion. This time, I decided to add a room to the left; it will be done tomorrow.

Phineas was in my town again today, and this time he gave me the Catalog Maniac Bronze badge.

And instead of a money rock, I had a gem rock.

Two of the gems were gold nuggets. I also had one gold nugget in storage, so I took the three of them to Re-Tail so Cyrus could turn them into a piece of golden furniture.

At 2:00, I opened my gate for a rare daytime Wi-Fi party. Tom and Olivia, both from England, were trying to come in, but they kept getting error messages. But Wendy, Annissa, and Valeria were able to come over to visit. I went into Re-Tail and saw that Cyrus was sleeping. I paid that punk to work! Wake up, you lazy bum!

We headed over to the Roost for some coffee-to-go. Of course, you can’t actually drink the coffee while sitting at the table. So why even have a table??

So we did the only thing we can do: We whooped in our chairs.

Back outside, Valeria commented on how adorable Molly is. So we all gathered around her. Although it felt like a ghost passed right through me!

And for some reason, I felt like I should watch my back.

Then we all started drinking our coffee. It looked like my town was full of coffee addicts.

We also took a look at my wind turbine.

Valeria informed me that there was a lost item on the beach. After going down to get it, I talked to Molly and asked if it was hers. To my surprise, it was! It’s very rare for it to belong to the first person you ask. She gave me a straw shirt to thank me.

Valeria left around 3:15, and Joey from Seasons came over about 10 minutes later. I think I’m going to start mentioning some players’ towns, so I can remember who’s who. Because I have at least two Joeys on my roster, and at least three Nicks.

A bit later, Annissa left. At the police station, Copper told me that my visitors better behave themselves! Preach it, Copper! 😛

We then headed off for the island, where we did a giant dragonfly tour. I caught a pet!

I did awful at the tour, coming in last place. But we each won 20 medals for meeting the goal! Plus, we got bonus medals; I only got one bonus medal, but Wendy got 10 medals for coming in first place! That’s a total of 30 medals for her in one tour! Wow! But after that tour, it was 4:00 and Joey had to go, so I decided to end the party.

With the gate now closed, I went back to the Roost to work a shift. I had two out-of-towners today, Olivia and Naomi. What is with Naomi’s neon pink sideburns??

Since the out-of-towners actually told me how they wanted their coffee, I was able to get everyone’s orders perfect again today. Brewster gave me superb coffee beans once again. After that, I went to Re-Tail to check on my golden furniture. It was completed, but it was another golden clock! The same thing he made me last time! Ugh!

But I had a plan to get Rolf to buy my beans. Somehow he knew!

But he still fell for it! Thanks, sucker! (Just kidding, Rolf. You’re a good friend).

That’s all for today, but I’ll be back with more tomorrow!
