Rizzo the Plumber

Yesterday, Rizzo told me that he recently tried his hand at plumbing. He thought it looked easy enough that anyone could do it. So he spent weeks trying to build himself a new shower. Once he was done, he tried it out, and the showerhead flew off, sending water all over. 🤣

Rizzo: What happens the first time I turn on the water? The showerhead flies off, and water blasts into the next room!
But you don’t have another room.

He advised me to call a pro if I’m not sure how to do something. Well, I sure won’t call him!

Rizzo: Take my advice... If you ain't fully sure you're up to a task, swallow your pride and ask a pro.

Agent S saw me walking around with a shovel, and she got nervous that I might find some of the 73 pitfall traps that she “didn’t” bury around town. 😛

Agent S: Which would NOT be any one of 73 pitfall traps that have definitely NOT been buried all around the island.

Up on Rainbow Road, I found a lost item (a diary) that had a drool stain on it. That sounded like a lazy villager’s item, so I figured it belonged to Hornsby or Bones. I ran into Hornsby first, but he told it belonged to Bones. When I returned it, Bones rewarded me with a plover cardigan.

Bones: I hope you'll enjoy a plover cardigan!

Label was at the plaza, and she asked me to wear a comfy outfit. She gave me a striped shirt to get me started, and I added some casual pants and rubber-toe sneakers. I thought that sounded comfy enough, but Label did not agree.

Today, Gullivarrr the pirate was washed up on the beach. I went diving for his communicator, and I found it on my 3rd dive. He will be sending my reward in the mail.

I found the communicator!

Not much else was going on today. I’ve kinda been in a lull lately, not playing the game as much (just 20-25 minutes a day to do the bare minimum). Sometimes this happens, especially when I’m not working on a project (like a new part of town or obstacle course).

But also, I’ve been working on videos more this past week, posting three since Sunday…including this one taking a look at nine Mario items that were in previous Animal Crossing games, but did not return in New Horizons.

I actually have another video coming tomorrow, but it’ll be a City Folk video. And I will be back with another blog entry tomorrow, as I plan to visit a friend’s town tomorrow night. Enjoy your weekend!

A Million Miles

Jolly Redd was in town yesterday, so I boarded his ship to see what he was selling. He had two real pieces of art and two forgeries. Unfortunately, both real ones were things that I already had in the museum!

Jolly Redd's selection of items on April 20, 2021.

So I decided to buy a fake rock-head statue, for possible use as a town decoration. (I already use one of them atop the waterfall in Donkey Kong Country.)

Today, Leif was in town, selling shrubs and seeds at the plaza. I bought a few red lily seeds from him.

Leif: You gotta do what makes you happy. I'll be here if you need me.

Midge was talking about taking trips, asking if I like to plan them out or just… wing it. 😛

Midge: When you're going on a trip, you can either wing it or plan out everything. What's your style?

Surprisingly, she said that she likes to plan them in advance. So the bird doesn’t like to wing it.

I noticed that I had about 991,000 Nook Miles. Since not much was going on in town, I thought I would work towards some Nook Miles+ goals. I’ve been wanting to get up to a million (or 999,999, if that was the max), so I decided to find out. I caught bugs, caught fish, chopped wood, watered flowers, went diving, sold fruit, crafted items, and so on.

Claim! Claim! Claim! Claim! Claim!

I continued until I met my goal. My last goal was for selling fruit, and it kicked my balance over one million miles. So yes, the total keeps going even above a million.

1,000,110 Nook Miles

Yesterday, I posted a new video taking a look at the exclusive favors in each Animal Crossing game. Here it is, if you’re interested and haven’t seen it yet:

I’ll have another (short) video coming up tomorrow. And FYI, I’m not planning on having Friday Night Forest this week.

Apple’s Crazy Dreams

I spoke with Hornsby near town hall last night, and he asked if I was there to do some community work.

Hornsby: Are ya gonna start doing community work?

He said he had to work once, and it was the worst. 😂

Hornsby: I had to work once. It was the worst!

I saw Wisp up near the rock-head statue in Donkey Kong Country, and I posed for a photo. 😛

Jeff sees a ghost!

I tracked down his five spirits, and he gave me a blue camo wall for returning them. Unfortunately, I got ambushed by tarantulas twice on the night. Yep, twice. Two times. ✌️

Today, I received a letter from Apple. She told me she saw me in her dreams last night, and I was a huge dancing beetle!

I saw you in my dreams last night. It was CRAYzeeeeeee! So tell me--were you there on purpose? I thought maybe you have something important to tell me? Like why you were a huge dancing beetle? Let me know! -Apple
Lay off the drugs, Apple. 😂

I also ran into Apple at Able Sisters. She said she puts as little thought as possible into her purchases, so that she never has to wonder what she was thinking. That’s an… uh… interesting way of doing things.

Apple: See, I spend my bells with as little thought as possible so I never have to ask myself, 'What was I thinking?'

Saharah was in town, and I bought a turquoise heart rug, heavy-curtain wall, peach checked rug, and imperial tile from her.

Yesterday, I posted a new video taking a look at five Animal Crossing special characters that are not animals (plus a couple more that might not be). I hope you’ll give it a quick watch!
