Famous Painting

Yesterday, Tybalt sent me some art in the mail. That was nice of him, even though I figured it was probably a fake like all the others that villagers have sent me.

Get pumped, glitter! I found this really awesome art thing when I was out on patrol the other night. I asked around and nobody claimed it, so I'm gifting it to you for all the awesome stuff you're always doing for us. Stay muscular! -Tybalt

Still, I took it over to the museum. I was shocked when Blathers told me that the famous painting was real! 😮 Wow, Tybalt! Thank you!!!

Famous Painting - January 18th, 2021 - Donated by Jeff

When I shot down a balloon present, I learned a DIY recipe for an iceberg wall.

I found Gulliver in town, washed up on the beach. I dug up his five communicator parts for him.

Today, I received my prize from Gulliver. And it was an “ancient administrator hat.” WHAT. IS. THIS.

Jeff tries on the ancient administrator hat in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

Gulliver, you need to stop. I’m tempted to just keep your communicator parts for myself when you send me stuff like this.

Shortly after I started playing, my shovel broke. So I bought a new one at the store. I returned home, caught an ant, and then my net broke too. Two tools broken in my first 90 seconds. -.-

However, my day improved a bit when I found Celeste in town! She taught me the DIY recipe for a rocket, which is one that I’ve wanted for a while.

SWEET! I learned a DIY recipe for a rocket!
Rocket? Yeah!

Saharah was also in town today, and I bought one of everything from her. That included a magic-circle rug, mangrove wall, blue Persian rug, flowing-river flooring, and a green kitchen mat.

Bones was shopping in Nook’s Cranny, and he commented on the temperature in the store. He said it was so warm in there that he felt like a cup of hot cocoa, full of marshmallows.

Bones: It's so warm in here! Makes me feel like I'm a cup of hot cocoa, full of marshmallows!

He then admitted that he actually was full of marshmallows right now. 😀

Bones: I...actually am full of marshmallows right now. Chock. Full.

After identifying some fossils at the museum and collecting Nook Miles for the task, I earned more Nook Miles. For the “Nook Miles for Miles” achievement, I earned 3,000 Nook Miles for completing my 3,000th Nook Miles+ goal.

As for my obstacle course/race, I’ve decided I’m not happy with what I have so far. It feels too much like some of my previous races, just with ice obstacles…and I want to be more creative with it. If I’m able to pull it off, the end result will be better. But unfortunately, this means it likely will not be done this week. And there probably won’t be a Friday Night Forest this week either. But once I do finish it, I’ll try to host a few FNFs in a row.
