Jeff's New Horizons Blog

If you’re not aware, the rodeo-style springy ride-on is again available as a seasonal item from Nook Shopping (for Brazil’s Cowboy Festival). It’s the same one that was available last year, but you can order it now through August 15th if you missed out on it last time.

Yesterday, Bones told me he was trying to act more mature…so he started making coffee. Except that it tasted like angry, hot, black water. Eww.

He concluded that he must be adding too much dirt to it. 😮 Yeah, that would make it pretty nasty.

C.J. was in town and he had a freestyle seasports challenge for me. I caught a freshwater goby, hammerhead shark, dace, crucian carp, and pale chub to complete the challenge.

But before I could grab fish from storage to sell to C.J., Hornsby distracted me. He said he got into a fight with Apollo, and he wanted to send a gift to patch things up. So I took the package up to Eagle Mountain, and it contained…a cardboard box!

Apollo inexplicably loved it, thinking that Hornsby went out of his way to send a nice gift. 😀 He rewarded me with a chef’s outfit.

Fortunately, I then remembered to grab some fish out of storage. Even though I only had six fish, most of them were sharks…so C.J. paid me 109,500 bells for them.

Today, Jac mailed me a superhero uniform for Hornsby (after seeing Hornsby’s superhero comments from the other day). So I passed it on to Hornsby, and he loved it! Thanks, Jac! Hornsby rewarded me with some bunny ears.

Since I had a leftover tailors ticket, I used it to buy some bubblegum at Able Sisters.

Flick was in town, so I sold him eight bugs for 72,000 bells.

I posted the latest Wi-Fi Moments video today featuring online highlights of the past few months…including the return of Yann, who was in many of my ACCF Wi-Fi Moments videos.

I’ve been in a bit of a New Horizons lull lately, which often happens in between big projects (like my races and obstacle courses). So I’m going to reduce the frequency of blog entries to a minimum of three per week. (Some weeks may still have four, particularly when things pick up with some villager movement or my next designing project.) I’ll still be playing daily though.

But lately, I’ve been playing more Wild World as I work towards getting my golden axe (and some other goals) in that game. So if you’re interested, head on over to my Wild World Blog.

See you all next time! Have a great weekend! 🙂

Yesterday, I found Gullivarrr passed out on the beach. When I woke him up, he told me he dreamed about pirate battles.

I went diving for his communicator and found it on my 4th attempt.

Bones was also on the beach, and he was thinking about moving out of town. I made him reconsider.

Phoebe the ostrich phoenix was camping at the campsite, and she’s pretty cool. If I had an opening in town, I might consider taking her. But I wasn’t willing to force anyone out for her.

Eloise asked me to play a treasure hunt game, and I was up to the challenge. She gave me six minutes to find the buried item, but I only needed a bit more than two minutes. It was near the arches.

I returned the item to her and she opened it up for me. Some oval glasses were inside. These treasure hunt games are rare enough that they should really reward us with furniture, not accessories.

Today, I received my reward from Gullivarrr: It was another pirate beard.

When I visited Hornsby, he told me what he wanted to do with his life: He’s going to be a superhero! But not just any superhero, he’s going to be Bagel Boy Jr.!

Celeste was in town tonight, and she taught me a DIY recipe for an astronaut suit!

It’s actually a furniture item, not clothing. So I made one and put it in my space room upstairs.

Jolly Redd was in town today, but the only real work of art he had was a flowery painting (which I already have in the museum). But I still bought one to give as another future prize. I also bought Redd’s throwback rocket and beach chair, because he had color variations I didn’t already have in my catalog.

I met some more Nook Miles+ goals just for fun; I still enjoy earning Nook Miles even though I have over a million, and I rarely spend any. 😛

No Friday Night Forest this week, but I’ll be back with another entry soon.

A new seasonal item, the Phrygian cap, is now available through Nook Shopping. It’s for the French National Day, le 14 juillet (the 14th of July), also known as Bastille Day. It comes in multiple colors and only costs 880 bells, so check your catalog now through July 20th.

It is curious that the French national day is now recognized with an item, while national days of other countries (such as the United States’ Independence Day or Canada Day) are not. Well, there’s always next year, I suppose. 😛

I was holding a bug net when I spoke with Agent S, and she said she was excited for me, and she called me the bug catcher of the year! I’d like to think this was because I recently completed my bug collection, but I’m not sure if that’s true.

K.K. Slider was in town, and I asked him for a random song. He played K.K. Bazaar for me, Midge, Tybalt, and Hornsby.

Today, Label was in town. She wanted to see me in a comfy outfit.

She gave me a humble sweater as an example of what to shoot for. I put it on and spoke to her again…but that wasn’t enough to earn a proper reward from her. I should have gone home and picked up a good hat or accessory to add to my outfit; I think that would helped my chances quite a bit.
