Puppy Pod, Tuesday Cake

On Sunday, Boyd the gorilla was camping at the campsite. There’s approximately a 0% chance that I’d ever willingly let him move into town. 😛

Boyd, at the campsite: Howdy! I'm just stakin' a claim for a bit, enjoyin' the campin' life. Be seein' you around, uh-oh!

On Monday, I bought a puppy plushie to put in my science pod. Don’t worry, the puppy won’t drown. 😉 Just think of it as an inverted dogwood tree: The bark is on the inside. 😉

Yesterday, I bought an RC helicopter at Nook’s Cranny with the same idea in mind. I thought it would be funny if the helicopter could fly up through the top of the pod! But unfortunately, it wouldn’t even let me put the helicopter inside the pod.

I’ve been having snow flurries in Forest lately, which is certainly pretty and festive…

Punchy: Snow is so neat! It's the only time all year that ya can eat rain!

But sadly, the moisture creates dozens of new flower buds that I’m having to clean up every day…and that’s really annoying.

Today, I found a lost item (a book) on the ground, and I returned it to Punchy. He rewarded me with a ninja costume.

Punchy: Hey! It's my picture book! I couldn't find it anywhere!

Gulliver was in town, and I dug up the five pieces of his communicator for him. He will be sending me a reward in the mail.

I went diving in the ocean later, and I found a scallop. Of course, Pascal popped up to ask for it, and I handed it over. He gave me a pearl, and also a funny comment about “Tuesday cake,” which he’d like to enjoy once (or twice!) a week. 😆

Pascal: I love birthday cake, but why stop there? Some Tuesday cake would hit the spot once or twice a week.

Even though I won’t be decorating my entire town for the holidays, I am working on decorating at least one small area. It’s just south of the castle, where my Wordle lights were.

Just to confirm, I do indeed plan on having Friday Night Forest this week (Friday at 10 p.m. Eastern time for people on my roster). If you plan on coming, please consider having my Elf outfit (and hat) available with you. The design codes are MO-5T5N-X2CX-LDPQ and MO-2TK6-2X69-44CH. You don’t have to wear it the entire time, but I would like to take some photos as elves at some point. 🙂

I posted a new video today, compiling some of my best and most memorable moments with sports balls (on GameCube) and snowballs (throughout the series). Even though most of the clips are from GameCube and City Folk, there are a few New Horizons clips as well. Check it out if you’re interested.

DIY Furniture Goal Met

Yesterday, Gullivarrr sent me my latest reward in the mail: a pirate rug. Mom also sent a letter, about snow and winter. She sent me a Mom’s hand-knit sweater.

Today, I surprisingly learned two new recipes: a mushroom potage (from Sasha, who was cooking in his house), and a skateboard wall rack (from a message bottle).

SWEET! I learned a DIY recipe for a skateboard wall rack!

Label was in town, and she wanted to see me in something outdoorsy. She gave me a tweed vest to use as an example, but I ignored that suggestion. Instead, I put on a down jacket, some outdoor shorts, a bicycle helmet, cyber shades, and some high-tops. She loved the outfit!

Label: I am sooo impressed. Thank you for putting it together for me!

She gave me a Labelle hat. As for the outfit, I kept some of those items on…but I promptly changed out of the shorts. It’s far too cold for them!

I found a lost item (a bag) on the ground, and Punchy told me that it belonged to Marina. The problem was that I couldn’t find Marina anywhere! She wasn’t home, she wasn’t anywhere in town, and I wasted five full minutes searching the entire museum without any success. But I eventually found her hanging out in Hornsby’s house.

Marina, standing behind Hornsby's big head: Oh! This is my bag. I thought I'd never get this back again!

I gave her the bag, and she rewarded me with a safety helmet. I’m not sure that a hat justified all that work, but oh well. 😛

I was about to wrap up my night in the game, when I thought to check my Nook Miles progress. When I saw that I only needed to craft two more furniture items to complete the DIY Furniture goal, I grabbed some flowers and crafted two hyacinth lamps. I earned 3,000 Nook Miles for completing all DIY Furniture goals.

DIY Furniture Nook Miles: All goals met.

Only four more goals remain: DIY Tools, Deep Dive, Cornering the Stalk Market, and Popular Pen Pal. My next one is certainly going to be Deep Dive, because I only need to catch 87 more sea creatures. The other goals are probably going to take me a very long time.

If you haven’t seen my latest ACNH video , it’s a silly one. I perform most of the reactions in the game, while standing in an outdoor bath… Well, a picture says 1,000 words. 😛 I hope it brings you a laugh or two. 🙂

Enjoy your weekend, and I’ll see you next time! 🙂

Rio’s Photo

Remember that duplicate katana that Gulliver sent me on Saturday? Well I wrapped it up and gave it to Rio on Sunday; she liked it so much that she rewarded me with her photo! Finally!

Rio: Hey! I wanted to say thanks, but with, like, an object? It's Rio's photo! Enjoy!

I walked into my front door (which was just a few feet away, haha) and displayed it in my house. Her quote on the back is “Self-care? Best care.”

Jeff stands next to Rio's photo.

Wisp was in town, and he gave me a gurney after I returned his spirits to him.

On Monday, Cashmere was camping at the campsite. But I’m not currently looking for any ugly villagers. Sorry, maybe…never.

Cashmere: I confess, I can't help but think how fabulous it would be to live here, baaaby.

Hornsby was sitting on his outdoor swinging bench for the first time since I moved it behind his house. (Because it got in the way of my vaulting pole race.) He said he’s saving a seat for his grandma, which is cute…if not a bit sad.

Hornsby: I like to keep it empty so there's someplace for Grandma to sit if she comes to visit!

Today, Gullivarrr was in town. I went diving for his communicator and returned it to him. He’ll send me a reward tomorrow.

Punchy was feeling mischievous on the beach, and he said he might copy me for the day! He even said he’d be Jeff Jr.! 😛

Punchy: What ya doing? I might copy you. I could be Jeff Jr. for the day!

Bones was talking about balloon presents, and he told me they come from a sea monster that burps them up!

Bones: Do ya know where the present balloons come from? There's a sea monster near here that burps them!

He said he calls the sea monster Lieutenant Burpy Boy! Bones is a silly dog sometimes.

Bones: I call him Lieutenant Burpy Boy!

FYI, I don’t plan on having Friday Night Forest this week…but I am aiming for next week, December 9th. I’ll keep you updated when it gets closer.

See you all next time! 🙂
