Jeff's New Horizons Blog

On Sunday night, the final fireworks festival of the year was held. I attended briefly, stopping by to get my star bopper from Isabelle and a few more goodies from Redd.

After being bumped from performing on Saturday and Sunday, K.K. Slider was finally in town for a rare Monday night show. This time, he performed K.K. Jongara for me, Agent S, and Hornsby.

Yesterday, Bones gave me a gift that reminded him of me: a peasant blouse! I guess he thinks of me as a peasant! 😮

C.J. was in town, and he wanted me to catch three small-fry fish in a row for his seasports challenge. So I caught two crucian carp and a freshwater goby. I then sold C.J. a number of fish I had in my pockets for 13,000 bells, but I didn’t return home to get any more out of storage.

Today (Wednesday) is September 1st, and it marks the unofficial beginning of autumn. Acorns and pinecones will once again fall from trees that you shake. Also, the grape-harvest basket is again available through Nook Shopping.

Gulliver was in town, so I dug up the five pieces of his communicator for him. I also used the opportunity to dig up some clams for fish bait. The last fish I need, the golden trout, is now in season again, and it’s very rare. So I’ll need all the help I can get. 😛 I’ll be searching for it in the coming days (and weeks, if necessary).

I was a bit surprised to find a mermaid princess dress in the recycle box today. I don’t normally see Pascal items in here. I’m wondering if Midge recycled it before she left, because I did give her one in the past (and this is my first time checking the recycling since she moved out).

But that wasn’t the only mermaid-related curiosity: Both of today’s hot items at Nook’s Cranny were mermaid items!

Is it Mermaid Day or something? 😛

If you’ll excuse me, I need to get back to hunting for that elusive golden trout. See you all again soon! 🙂

Last night, I saw some cumulonimbus clouds again. That makes at least three times that I’ve seen them in New Horizons, although I still have yet to see them in New Leaf.

Today, the Bug-Off was held. I spoke with Flick and started my bug-catching journey.

I scored 9 points in the first round, 9 again in the 2nd round, 13 in my third round, and then 16 in my final round of the day.

I redeemed 40 of my 48 points for a bug aloha shirt, a bug cage, an artisanal bug cage, and a butterfly backpack.

Due to the Bug-Off, K.K. Slider was not in town tonight.

I posted my latest video yesterday, New Horizons Moments #10:

See you all next time!

Yesterday, Label was hanging out at the plaza. She wanted to see me in a sporty outfit, and she gave me a bulldog jacket as an example. So I put it on, but I also added some basketball shorts, basketball shoes, a skateboarding helmet, and some ski goggles. It may have been an odd combination, but everything was sporty, so Label loved it. She gave me some Labelle socks for my trouble.

Raymond was camping up at the campsite, but I was not interested.

When I visited Apollo, he had an odd question for me. He told me to imagine a fishbowl in front of me, and then he asked me what was inside it.

The choices he gave me were odd, but I picked an octopus because it seemed like a more appropriate choice than the other two options. Apollo said it was a personality test, and it meant I was a softie at heart…just like him.

Hornsby asked if my hobby was still annoying Rizzo. Not anymore, thankfully! At least not in New Horizons. (City Folk is a different story.)

Today, Bones was telling me that singing is a free activity, and anyone can do it. He just warned me to be careful, because a bug recently “fwooped” into his mouth while he was hitting a high note…and he ate it. Yikes. 🐞

Saharah was in town, and I bought everything except the small rug. I ended up with a misty-garden wall (cool), a peach checked rug (nothing special), a stormy-night wall (amazing–it has animated rain and lightning!), a racetrack flooring (alright), and an Earth rug (cool). I put the Earth rug up in my space room.

Wisp was also in town. I found four of his spirits rather quickly, but the 5th one took me a while. But once I did find it, Wisp gave me a hammock for helping him out.

Have a great night (or day)! The next New Horizons Moments video is coming very soon!
