Jeff's New Horizons Blog

On Sunday night, K.K. Slider was in town. He played K.K. Lovers for me and Bones.

Today is Beardo’s birthday, so I headed over to the recycle box at Resident Services to look for some trash to give him. When I made it to Beardo’s party, I was disappointed to see Static there. He was saying “Go, go, Beardo,” but he didn’t mean it the same way that I would. 😛 He was actually cheering him on, which I could never do.

Beardo asked for a present, and I gave him an empty can. However, he thought it was a joke! He laughed, and then handed it back to me.

So I again had to choose a gift for him. Fortunately, I brought a backup: a cardboard box. 📦 He actually seemed to like it!

When I spoke with Static again, he seemed more relatable this time. He admitted it was a struggle to get through a party with Beardo like this. He was glad I showed up to help make it through. 😛

After the party, I visited Rio. She was shocked to see I had a sea bass in my pockets.

But she wasn’t telling me to leave, she was letting me know she wanted the sea bass! She offered me 600 bells for it, and I gladly agreed to sell it.

I found both Celeste and Gulliver on the island tonight. Celeste gave me a large star fragment, while Gulliver promised to send me a gift in the mail (after I recovered his phone parts).

See you all next time!

On Wednesday, Gullivarrr sent me another pirate-ship helm in the mail. Not bad.

Yesterday, Agent S urged me to take off her bandages! Well, sort of.

Fortunately, she was just giving me some bandages; they weren’t actually in use at the time. 😂

Last night, I headed over to Nicky’s town for her birthday party. Jesse, Matthew, Jac, and Sam also joined in. Jesse put Nicky’s head on a platter pizza!

While I was there, I learned that the bug cage is actually a clothes closet!

I spotted a buried pitfall that wasn’t mine, but I decided to help lure someone into the trap. I said “Look at this snail!” and Sam came over and fell into it. 😛

I guess I could consider this revenge for when he pitfalled me in his town last month. 😛

We headed over to Nicky’s house for some cake and photos before Nicky wrapped up the party.

Happy birthday, Nicky!

After completing a few Nook Miles+ achievements tonight, my balance topped two million miles!

The Bug-Off is coming up tomorrow, but I’m not sure if I’ll participate. I think I may sit this one out for a change. But good luck to you all, and I hope you have a great weekend! 🙂

Yesterday was International Talk Like a Pirate Day, and I was coincidentally dressed for the occasion (thanks to Label’s recent visit). But Animal Crossing’s pirate showed up a day late, as Gullivarrr was on shore today, looking for his communicator. I went diving and promptly found what he was looking for, so he’ll reward me with a gift in the mail tomorrow.

But while I was diving, I caught a scallop. That caused Pascal to pop up and demand it. He also told me some wise words about ducks. 🦆🦆🦆

I found a lost item (a book) on the ground, and I returned it to its owner, Ketchup. She was glad to have her autograph book back, and she rewarded me with a skateboarding helmet.

I spotted a ghost twice in the past two days: Wisp gave me a porcelain vase on Sunday night, and an evergreen ash tonight.

Today marks two and a half years since the release of New Horizons. As I find myself spending less and less time with the game, I feel it’s time to reduce the frequency of blog entries a bit. (Although I still plan on playing the game daily.) There will now be a minimum of two new entries each week, instead of three.

So I’ll be back later in the week with more. Have a great day!
