Month: June 2023

On Sunday morning, a bowl of turnips just barely caught my eye as I ran past, moving around behind my cliff. 😆 It was Daisy Mae’s head, of course. 😛

She was selling turnips for 96 bells apiece (a pretty good price), and I bought 2,000 of them for a total of 192,000 bells.

On Sunday night, I found Pascal while diving in the ocean. He told me that trees are Earth hair, grass makes a beard, and deserts are bald spots. Perhaps this wasn’t his deepest bit of wisdom. 😛

There was a thunderstorm underway, so I decided to record some gameplay of myself grinding for Nook Miles during the storm. I may post that video this weekend.

I also helped Wisp out by recovering his spirits, and he gave me a stewpot. (Just need to take it home, add some broth, a potato…and baby, you got a stew going.) 😉

Today, C.J. was in town, and he wanted me to catch three big-time fish. I caught a sea bass, a catfish, and a red snapper to complete his challenge. I then sold him nine fish for 26,100 bells. I didn’t have any sharks for him this time, so that total wasn’t very impressive.

My wall of posters of former villagers is nearing completion. Xavier is ordering me several of the posters for me that I didn’t have in my catalog. Thank you, Xavier! 😊 But the funny thing is, when I put the posters in two equal rows, in sequential order based on when they left, Beardo will be directly beneath Rizzo. So one cannon shot can shoot them both! 😆 So convenient!

Are there any of these of these villagers you completely forgot I had in my town? I still regret not keeping Claudia longer. And yes, Midge will eventually have two posters up, assuming I keep this wall up long enough.

I recently posted a video of what it’d be like if Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom characters (I almost typed villagers 😆) narrated Animal Crossing. If you haven’t seen it, here it is. Hopefully it will give you a laugh or two (or at least a smile). Enjoy!

By the way, I’m not having Friday Night Forest this week, but I am planning on it for next week (June 30th). It’s been a while! We will be sure to test out my new (small) obstacle course I mentioned previously, and it will be the last time racing on my vaulting pole race.

One other thing I want to mention: I no longer use the “Also on JVGS” sidebar that shows my latest blog entries, because the plugin I was using caused some problems (and slowed down my whole site). But I still list my latest 5-6 blog entries on the JVGS home page, so check there if you want to see what’s new.

I’ll be back with another entry later in the week (likely on Saturday, for the first Bug-Off of the year). See you soon! 🙂

Yesterday, Midge surprised me by telling me she thought she knew my face from somewhere! Did she finally recover her memories of living in this town before??

But no, she thought she just recognized me from a magazine cover! Oof.

C.J. was in town, and he wanted me to catch three small-fry fish. So I caught an angelfish, a pale chub, and a freshwater goby to complete the challenge. He gave me 5,400 bells for them. I later grabbed seven fish out of storage (three of them were sharks), and C.J. gave me 114,000 bells for them.

K.K. Slider was in town tonight, and he performed K.K. Etude for me, Agent S, Bones, Rio, and Punchy.

A couple other quick notes about the past few days:

• Celeste gave me a Gemini fragment on Wednesday.
• Gulliver sent me a hula doll on Thursday.

I’ll be posting a new video on Youtube tomorrow, so keep an eye out! Never Stop Crossing!

On Sunday night, Alex from Pawnee opened up his town for a gathering, so I headed over. I was the first one to arrive, so he let me explore a bit. I stuck my face into the Tortimer face-cutout standee, and Alex said he used the fish-eye lens on me…so I tried it out too. 😆

A few minutes later, Logan also came over to join in. We continued touring Alex’s town, and we also stopped in to visit some villagers, including Bob. He was making some savory bread…in a frying pan.

We eventually headed over to Alex’s house, and Sam from Seattle came over as well. Apparently, they didn’t realize that this bird mobile could flap its wings.

Alex has posters of his former villagers on the wall in his basement. I like that idea, I might copy it. 😛 Maybe I could even point a cannon at Rizzo and/or Beardo. 😉

We went to the museum for some coffee, and then we played some museum tag. In the first game, I did something stupid while hiding, and Alex found me almost immediately. 😆 When the 5-minute timer was up, I was the only one Alex found.

I was “it” next, so I went outside and counted to ten…stopping at pi, 2pi, and 3pi. 😛

After five minutes of searching, I found…no one. I was doing awful. 😆 But my luck changed during the third and final game. Sam was it, and he found Alex and Logan both in the art gallery. But I evaded capture for the full five minutes. Shocking, I know. 😛

After that, Alex ended the session. Thanks for the fun night, Alex, Logan, and Sam!

Yesterday, Bones told me that he’s really proud of his cardboard box. He was talking as if he proved he was responsible and organized. 😆

Today, Agent S was telling me about a special limited-edition eraser she got inside a candy wrapper. It’s shaped like rice pudding, and it’s from the “Erasing the Forest for the Treats” series. 😛

At first, I thought that was based on my town name, but I don’t think it is. The pun on “forest for the trees” wouldn’t work with most island names.

Flick was in town today, and this time I had more bugs for him. I got 18 bugs out of storage, and sold them for 94,500 bells. That helped my savings balance top 59 million bells.
