Month: February 2022

Wisp was in town last night, and I gathered up his five spirits for him. In return, he gave me some patterned stockings.

Today, Sasha was visiting Marina. After speaking to them both, I left out the door… Seeing both of them wave goodbye at the same time just struck me as adorably cute. 😛

When I checked my mail, I found 11 valentines with gifts! All ten of my villagers sent me one, as did Isabelle. Each one came with either a heart-shaped bouquet or a chocolate heart.

Another small feature of Valentine’s Day, which was first introduced in City Folk, is the ability to drink hot chocolate at the Roost. Even though Brewster pretends to serve you coffee initially, you get a sweet surprise once you taste the hot beverage.

I’m glad to see that this feature has returned. Happy Valentine’s Day! ♥

Agent S told me about a comic book called Mr. Beard’s Hairventure. She told me that the first issue came with a beard trimmer…but she can’t grow a beard. 🧔 Maybe she could trim her tail with it instead?

Jolly Redd’s ship was in town again…just three days after his last visit! Unfortunately, he didn’t have any art that I needed this time. But I did buy a few of his wall-mounted neon lights! They were purple, but I paid Cyrus to customize them and turn them blue. I’m not sure how I’ll use them yet, but they are pretty cool.

Nook’s Cranny also had a really cool item for sale, a siren. It would be a good thing to use in an obstacle course or race, perhaps as the final goal. Maybe whoever lights up the siren first wins?

I’ll see you all next time. Happy Valentine’s Day, and Never Stop Crossing!

Yesterday, Jolly Redd was in town (on his ship). He had three paintings that I see fairly often, and one that I hadn’t seen yet: the warm painting. So it was a no-brainer to buy that one. I also bought the small vase and simple chair that Redd had for sale.

For the first time, I tried group stretching with Joy-Con motion controls. For most of the stretches, the controls worked fine. But a couple of them caused some problems, and I was doing the wrong stretch. 😂

The worst exercise was the jumping part near the end. The game didn’t recognize my jumps at all and my character just stood there the whole time. 😛

Louie was sick with a cold, so I crafted some medicine for him. In return, he gave me a track jacket. That was my 275th favor I’ve done for villagers, so I just need 25 more to complete the “Smile Isle” achievement.

Today, the warm painting from Redd arrived in the mail. It was the real deal, and I promptly donated it to the museum.

I took a look around my art gallery, and I noticed something interesting. Previously, when I tried to count how many pieces of art I needed, I was overcounting. There are a couple of places where the display card for the painting isn’t directly under the piece of art, and that threw me off. But after a careful look, I believe I only need four more pieces of art!

Back outside, there was another pleasant discovery: My orange hyacinths have finally produced my first purple hyacinth! I’ll need to pluck it five times so I can craft that hyacinth lamp that looks so cool.

When I visited Admiral, he taught me how to make some cookies. You gotta love that fresh-from-the-oven scent! 🍪

K.K. Slider was in town tonight, and he performed a song called Chillwave. Marina, Louie, Bones, and Sasha joined me in the plaza to enjoy the concert.

Today, I posted New Horizons Moments #13. I hope you’ll check it out. Enjoy the rest of your weekend! 🙂

Last night, Wisp and Gulliver were in town. I helped them both out; Wisp gave me a kitchen dishwasher last night, and Gulliver sent me a tubeteika (a hat) today.

I got a cup of coffee at the Roost tonight, and I found Agent S and Celeste were also there. Agent S said that a few sips of Brewster’s coffee can calm her down, even when she’s mega stressed. She said she was at peace with three-quarters of the universe right now.

But considering how big the universe is, that remaining one-quarter is quite a big chunk to not be cool with. 😛

When I spoke with Celeste, she just wished me a good evening. Kinda funny that Celeste wasn’t the one talking about the universe. 😛

Marina asked me to play a treasure hunt game, and I accepted the challenge. Fortunately, she gave me six minutes to find the treasure…because it took me over three minutes to find it. It was on the edge of Sudden Valley.

I took it back to Marina, and she opened it up for me: It was her photo! Of course, I already have one of those, but it’s still satisfying to earn a photo regardless.

Label was in town, and she wanted to see me in a formal outfit. She gave me a short peacoat as an example of what to wear. I went home and put on a tuxedo jacket, a top hat, a curly mustache, loafers, and cropped pants. It annoys me that there aren’t any plain black pants in this game that aren’t cropped, but I digress. This is my outfit:

Before I could make it out my front door, Admiral barged in. He gave me a soccer-uniform top, he played a game with me (I lost), and he told me that he was going to have bread for dinner tomorrow. Fitting for a bird, I s’pose.

I waited five minutes for him to leave, and then I could finally get back to Label to be judged. She was pleased with my outfit, and she rewarded me with some Labelle tights.

Out on Lottie’s island, I bought myself a chainsaw. I may use it on the next villager that barges into my house. 😉

See you all next time. Look for the next New Horizons Moments video coming soon!
