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!

Wisp’s Coins

Late last night, I started up the game again briefly to check for Wisp (for a video). Sure enough, he was in town…up on Rainbow Road in the Mario area. I collected his spirits for him, and in return, he gave me a red intricate wall. But the most interesting part is that I learned that Wisp can collect those Mario coins when he walks floats over them!

Wisp: Here, have... a red intricate wall!

Today, I found a bunch of star fragments on the beach from last night’s meteor shower. That included three Aries fragments; I used two of them to make an Aries rocking chair.

K.K. Slider was at the plaza for his Saturday night performance, and I joined Tia and Apple to enjoy a rendition of Agent K.K.

K.K. Slider performs for Tia, Apple, and Jeff.

It’s too bad that Agent S wasn’t there to hear her theme song! 😉

I saw several posts on the bulletin board from last night’s visitors, but none were more terrifying than Logan’s self-portrait. 😛

Logan's artwork of Shrek? Or is it a self-portrait?

There was another meteor shower tonight, so I wished on a few more shooting stars.

I’ll be posting a new video on Youtube tomorrow. It’s not strictly about New Horizons, but it will have a few clips from ACNH, and some from City Folk and GameCube as well.
