Jeff's New Horizons Blog

You know how I like putting a decoration outside of many villagers’ homes, like the bunny decoration outside of Sasha’s house? Well, I finally found something to put outside of Beardo’s house.

Wednesday’s turnip prices dropped into the 70s and 80s. So when they rebounded to 112 on Thursday, I reluctantly sold all I had for a very slight profit. It was getting too late in the week to risk anything more. And with that, I think I’m going to take a break from turnip trading for a while. The Nook Miles achievement for turnips is going to have to wait. I’m tired of this nonsense the past three weeks. 😂

I ran into Resetti at the Roost yesterday, and I was a bit surprised! So he actually does make an on-screen appearance without needing an amiibo. He said things are going well since he gave up the yelling business, although he does get a bit lonely now. But he compensates by yelling at rocks.

In the afternoon, I went on Twitter to find some racers for my new obstacle course: It’s a space race! After hearing on the news that glowing moss has been spotted on the moon, the two players race to the moon to find it and bring it back to Earth. First one to show it off for the TV cameras wins! Unfortunately, a couple of my villagers were getting in the way at one point. 😂

But we were able to hold the races. Thanks to Yadiel, Frank, Beat, and William for participating! Here’s my video of the races:

Today, I updated my dream. So you can take a closer look at the race course if you’d like. My dream address is 6717-1633-3682.

Jolly Redd’s ship was parked on the north shore. He had a graceful painting for sale, and it’s different from both fakes that I’ve saved pictures of! So that gives me reason to believe that it’s probably real! I’ll know for sure tomorrow. 🙂

Later on tonight, there was a meteor shower. I found Celeste in town, and she gave me five star fragments.

Now that my race course is done, I’m considering having a long-overdue Friday Night Forest, perhaps next week (May 20th). I should know for sure by the middle of next week, so check the blog for more info if you’re on my roster.

Have a great weekend, everyone! I’ll be back with another entry tomorrow (and probably a new Paradise Planning house design).

On Sunday morning, Daisy Mae was selling turnips for 110 bells apiece. After losing a bunch of money on turnips the past two weeks, I was determined to turn things around. So I bought about twice as many as usual: 3,400 turnips.

Gwen the penguin was at the campsite. I don’t particularly like her, and I’m already trying to get rid of her in City Folk. 😂 So clearly, I did not choose the camper in front of me. 😛

I found a lost item, a bag, on the ground. When I investigated it, it said it was a stylish bag that was more about style than function. That made me think of a peppy villager like Agent S or Ketchup. So imagine my surprise when Agent S said it belonged to Beardo!

Later, Static asked me to play a treasure hunt game. But he only gave me three minutes to find the buried item, and I didn’t find it in time. Once I did track it down and return it, Static was a bit rude about it.

On Monday, I took the advice of an anonymous commenter, and I went to the hospital. I was surprised to see Joan there, for her usual Monday checkup. 😂 She gave me 100 turnips for free!

But I learned something else new while I was there. Skye (the receptionist) informed me that I can get an examination from the doctor! Also, they’re accepting donations to expand the hospital and build a patient ward! The cost is 120,000 Poki, so I’m going to need to design several more homes before I can pay that off.

When it was time for my exam, Dr. Octavian told me that I needed a mummy outfit to cure the stinging pain in my knee. 😂

I don’t know what I expected. This place is called Quack Doctors, after all. 😉

Back in town, Beardo asked me to visit his house. I declined, and he said it was okay because he was just going to go home and stare at himself in the mirror.

I guess that’s one way to overcome a fear of monsters.

Today, Static was sick with a cold. I grabbed some medicine out of storage and took it back to him; he rewarded me with a spinning wheel.

Flick was in town, so I went in my house to get some bugs out of storage. As I did, Beardo barged in. I didn’t even speak to him. I just got my bugs and left the house. 😛

The Nooklings were paying 131 bells for turnips today. That’s the first increase I’ve seen in a long time. But after digging myself into such a hole, I wasn’t about to sell all my turnips for only 21 bells of profit apiece. I’m hoping for a larger jump tomorrow.

In other news, I finished up my obstacle course today! I plan on hosting a few races on an afternoon this week (probably Thursday or Friday between 4-6 p.m. EDT). When I’m ready, I’ll post on Twitter asking for people, and I plan on doing several runs with different groups of people. I also uploaded a new pattern today (hint hint).

See you all next time!

Yesterday, I got a very nice surprise in the mail: Static sent me a great statue! That is the only piece of art that I haven’t yet seen at Redd’s shop, not even once! I rushed it up to the museum, and Blathers confirmed that it was authentic! Awesome!

I now only need two more paintings to complete my museum! 😀

My good luck continued when I went to visit Ketchup. I gave her another bottle of tomato puree, and she rewarded me with her photo!!

I took it home and I learned something horrifying about Ketchup: She’s a cannibal! 😂

That’s my 18th villager photo, and when I moved it, it filled up my wall. So I can’t keep furniture too close to the wall without blocking some photos. I may consider moving my villager photos to my room on the left, which hardly has anything in it right now.

Wisp was in town, and he gave me a square bathtub for returning his spirits to him. Gullivarrr was also around, and I went diving to retrieve his communicator. I received my reward today: some pirate flooring.

My good luck from yesterday did not carry over to today. At Nook’s Cranny, the Nooklings were only paying 42 bells for turnips (and this was the last day to sell them). So again, I took a big loss on them. This marks two weeks in a row that the prices didn’t rise a single time! It went down every single day without even a small spike, both weeks!

K.K. Slider was hanging out at the plaza for his Saturday night show, and he performed K.K. Country for me and Beardo. That’s not my favorite song, and it’s definitely not my favorite villager.

I recently got some Roost coasters that I ordered from My Nintendo for 700 platinum points (plus $6.99 for shipping). They came in a nice tin. Pretty cool!

My collection of Animal Crossing merch has been growing over the past few months, and it includes several things I haven’t mentioned in the blog (or anywhere else, for that matter). I may need to make a video of it all at some point. Probably not anytime soon, but we’ll see!

Enjoy the rest of your weekend! See you next time! Until then, enjoy a donut! 😉🍩
