Jeff's New Horizons Blog

Yesterday, Static was talking about robot vacuums. He was wondering what would happen if you had a dirt floor: Would the robot just keep going until it hits magma?

Today, I made a brief visit to Beth’s town of Cassia. Some of you may remember Beth from my New Leaf blog, but this was our first time playing New Horizons together. Her town was beautiful, and I really liked her post office. Excellent use of the simple panels!

And this starry room in her house was just stunning. I love this wallpaper!

Back in Forest, the Nooklings were paying 107 bells for turnips. I sold my 30 turnips for 3,210 bells. Not the biggest haul of course, but they were free, so I can’t complain.

I tried speaking to Hornsby, who was sticking his face into a retro fan (not a bad idea for this time of year). However, I was mindlessly pressing the button and I didn’t realize that I wasn’t actually talking to Hornsby: I was buying the fan by mistake!

For some reason, the game wouldn’t let me speak to Hornsby while he was there. Even though I went out of my way to make sure I was facing Hornsby, and not the fan or a Nookling, it kept asking me if I wanted to buy the fan!

A few special characters were in town tonight: I got a large star fragment from Celeste, some running tights from Wisp, and I bought a simple small dresser from Jolly Redd. (He didn’t have the art I need.)

I recently posted a video of my Happy Home Paradise designs, so check them out if you’d like!

See you all next time!

Yesterday, Agent S sent me a letter thanking me for attending her birthday party. She even sent me her photo along with the letter! (I already had one, but it’s still a very nice gesture.)

When I visited Marina, she was reading a book while sitting on the toilet! The worst part is that she said she’s basically in love with her toilet!

Wisp was in town last night, and he gave me a metal-and-wood table after I returned his spirits to him.

Today is Apollo’s birthday, so I made sure to attend his birthday party. I gave him a suspicious cauldron that I recently crafted, after finding the recipe on Lottie’s Island. Apollo said it was one of the best gifts he ever got, even though he was probably lying.

Sasha was also at the party, and he told me about his 6th birthday party. He said a clown went into his house and never came out.

It’s definitely birthday season in Forest. In addition to Apollo’s birthday today, Static’s birthday is coming up on July 9th, and Agent S and Marina recently celebrated as well. That’s four villager birthdays in a two-week span!

Update: Also, Ketchup has a birthday on July 27th, making five villager birthdays (half my town) in a 31-day span! Add in Bones on August 4th, and that’s six villager birthdays in a six-week span! I have a town full of summer babies.

Faith the koala was camping at the campsite today. Not only is she one one of the original GameCube islanders, but she’s also really cute. One of my favorite koalas, in fact. However, I did not ask her to move in.

I remembered to make my usual Monday visit to the hospital to get 30 you-know-whats from you-know-who. I also told Dr. Octavian that I felt dizzy, and he gave me some eye gauze.

Back in town, Label was there, wanting to see me in a goth outfit. I changed into my skeleton outfit (and I added some impish wings), and Label loved the ghastly look.

She gave me some Labelle shorts, and she’ll be sending me some tailors tickets in the mail as well.

On Thursday, Gulliver sent me a geisha wig in the mail. Not only is that perhaps my least-favorite item he gives, but it’s at least the 5th one he’s sent me.

At Nook’s Cranny, the Nooklings were paying 122 bells for turnips. So I sold my 50 turnips from Joan for a total of 6,100 bells.

Yesterday, I put some money into my account and my balance reached 41 million bells.

Today, Agent S was celebrating her birthday. Since I had some star fragments in my pockets (that I picked up on the beach), I crafted her a star clock for her present. I also customized it to be blue and then wrapped it up. Agent S thought it was an awesome gift when I gave it to her at the party.

Happy birthday, Agent S! Another cute, short villager was there celebrating: Ketchup.

This was Agent S’s third birthday party here in town. She celebrated with Apollo last year, and Hornsby in 2020.

Over at the plaza, K.K. Slider was performing. I asked him for a random song, and he played K.K. Condor (one of my favorites) for me and Bones.

Within the next few days, I plan on posting a video of my Happy Home Paradise designs. So stay tuned for that, and I’ll see you all again soon.
