I received my latest gift from Gulliver in the mail today; he sent me a Statue of Liberty. And yes, I switched back to my Mohawk McClover getup after dressing like Mario yesterday.
Over on the beach, I relaxed on a hammock as Apollo started singing to me! Well, he was facing out towards the ocean, so maybe he wasn’t singing to me…but I appreciated it all the same. Nice eagle!
But Apollo wasn’t the only singer in town tonight: K.K. Slider was at the plaza, and I asked him to play a random song. He performed Lucky K.K. for me, Apple, and Louie.
Later on, I spoke with Hornsby. He told me he had some coffee and he was wide awake (but he said it in all caps). 😛
Wait, it’s like brain juice? Hornsby is a zombie, confirmed! 😱
There was a light meteor shower tonight, so I wished on a few shooting stars. But unfortunately, there was no sign of Celeste anywhere on the island.
Have a good night, and I’ll see you all next time!
On Wednesday, I received my worthy painting in the mail from Jolly Redd. I rushed it over to the museum, and I was very happy (and a bit surprised, actually) when Blathers informed me that it was an authentic work of art!
I also received more of my ordered Mario items in the mail. However, I was a bit disappointed by the large mushroom platform initially, because it wasn’t letting me use it as a table. However, it can be used that way. Maybe I just wasn’t standing in the right place or something.
Tybalt asked me for a wharf roach, and I agreed to help out. But after a few trips back and forth without finding the bug, I decided to use my warp pipes to help out my search! I put one on each side of the beach, and that helped me to find the bug quicker than crossing town repeatedly. These warp pipes can be used in so many ways!
Yesterday, the Nooklings were paying 144 bells for turnips. I sold 1,000 of my 1,300 at that price, to ensure I’d make a profit for the week.
Last night, I spent some time testing things out as I try to decide on a layout for my Mario obstacle course. I figured some things out, and I have a general idea of what I want to do…but it’s going to take a while.
I ordered the Mario outfit and I also made Tom Nook redesign my house with red and white (for Mario month). The outfit arrived today, and the changes to my house were finished today as well. Here’s a look at both.
It’s-a-me, Mario! Uh, don’t mind the green hair though.
Several of my villagers commented on my new look.
Today, the Nooklings were buying turnips for 163 bells apiece…even better than yesterday! So I sold my remaining 300 turnips for a total of 48,900 bells.
Gulliver was in town, and I dug up his five communicator pieces for him. He will send me a reward in the mail tomorrow.
Reminder: There is no Friday Night Forest tonight. Maybe next week, but that will probably depend on whether or not I finish my obstacle course by then.
I also want to hold a one-year anniversary party on March 20th, which is a Saturday. A few of you may remember that’s what I did for City Folk’s one year anniversary in 2009 (see video), and I want to do the same for New Horizons as well. I just don’t know what time it will be yet.
Today I went diving, and I caught my first spider crab. It’s HUGE! But more important than its size is the fact that I have completed my diving collection! Wahoooo!
That earned me 3,000 Nook Miles for completing the final “Underwater Understudy” goal.
Naturally, I donated the spider crab to the museum. Blathers confirmed that the sea-creature collection is now complete. 😎 Midge was already at the aquarium, checking out the sea creatures.
At the plaza, Apollo and Louie were holding sticks and running around. But Apollo stopped to tell me about the food he smelled when he walked by Tia’s house. 😛
Louie looks so happy here.
When I checked my mail, I found the five Nintendo items I ordered…including three pipes. I also had a letter from TZ, and she sent me a pipe as well. Thanks, TZ! I just don’t know how I’m going to use all of these…I have six, and that’s probably way more than I need. 😛
The Thwomp is cool too, because it automatically slams to the ground when you approach it. But unfortunately, you can’t run under it when it’s up.
The five Mario items I ordered today were another Thwomp, a ? block, a goal pole, a large mushroom platform (I want to see how it works), and a Super Mushroom.
Jolly Redd was in town, and he had two works of art that were clearly fake; I wasn’t sure about the other two. But I took a chance on a worthy painting, and I’ll find out tomorrow if I made a wise decision.
Now that March is here, it’s time to make my annual transformation into Mohawk McClover. If you’re not aware, it’s my own St. Patrick’s Day character that I first made in ACCF way back in 2009. I’ve been dressing up this way in Animal Crossing games every March since then.
The outfit consists of a mohawk wig, club tee, and dyed green hair. (Green contacts are optional.) Unfortunately, New Horizons doesn’t have the club tee, so I had to make my own.
Have a great day, and I’ll see you next time. Never Stop Crossing!
