Month: January 2023

Back to Bingo

Earlier this month, my former villager Agent S (who moved out last July) has shown up again in Beth’s new town, Cassia! I went over to visit her. 🙂

Agent S: It's Sweet-J! I'm so happy to see you! Didja come over to play with me?!

Beth also visited my town, and she fell for the oldest trick in the book: The pitfall behind the face-cutout standee. 😉

While she was over, I checked the igloo and saw that Tucker was camping in Forest.

Tucker: Hey there! I'm here in town camping! I picked Forest randomly off a map.

At GracieGrace, Beth and I appeared to come out of the stairway at the same time, and yet she was already talking to Gracie. 😆

Last Friday, I built a perfect snowboy; he sent me a snowman bed in the mail. And on Sunday, I made my first (bingo) snowman in a long time. His friend code number was 4.

Snowman: 4!

Cube was looking forward to the warmer weather of spring, but he sure expressed it in a curious manner.

Cube: I want it to get warm soon, so I'm rooting for young lady spring, on Toy Day.

Beth and I went out to the island and went on a couple of tours: one balloon-popping tour and a bug-catching tour.

Tortimer: Hope you had a cool time.

When we came back, I buried a pitfall seed for Beth. It didn’t quite work, because she simply dug it up. But when she tried to bury it for me instead, it backfired, and she fell in! 😉

On Monday, Kitty was camping out in town. I’m not a big fan of Kitty, so I hope this is the last time I see her in Forest.

Kitty: Excuse me, but are you from Forest?

Yesterday, I had yet another camper: Freckles. She’s a big improvement over Kitty, but I’m not interested in her either.

Freckles: Yoo-hoo! I wasn't sure if it'd be such a good idea to set up camp in the winter...

Poor Lolly fell into the daily random pitfall. Oh no! 🙁

Lolly, in a pitfall: AAAAH!

Beth and I have been exchanging bingo numbers lately, and we stopped briefly to sit on the bench last night.

Jeff and Beth sit on the bench as a geyser erupts in the background.

I found Cherry at the museum, and she was being rather dark. 😛

Cherry: I bet you and me will get dug up at some point in the distant future and put on display like this.

Today, I got a triple ding from my Snowman (meaning I’m one number away from a bingo in three different ways). Oof.

Snowman: This is even rarer than an actual bingo!
Lucky me.

Later on, I even got a quadruple ding and a quintuple ding, even though the snowmen don’t recognize anything higher than a triple. (1st and 4th rows, 4th column, and both diagonals).

Close to a bingo in five ways.

Bingo can be fun, but it can also be frustrating at times. At least Beth had some better luck, and she scored a bingo in Forest tonight. 😀

Congrats, Beth!

According to Luna, my recent dream visitors include Justin from Onett, Matthew from Mistgulf, Owen from Brenton, and Celeste from Lemonina. Thanks for stopping by!

See you all next time! 🙂

Zodiac Rabbit

Today is New Year’s Day, and I headed over to the event plaza to meet up with Isabelle. She gave me a zodiac rabbit to celebrate 2023 being the year of the rabbit in the Chinese zodiac.

Isabelle: This year, I feel that rabbits are the really in thing, so I got some rabbit decorations to celebrate.

I took it home to take a close look at it; it’s pretty cute!

Meanwhile, Hornsby wanted to start off 2023 with a nap. Not a bad idea!

Hornsby: Maybe I'll start 2023 off the right way--with a nice, big nap. Schnozzle!

My friend Beth started off the new year by making a new town, called Cassia. I took the train over for a visit, my first time playing multiplayer in years!

Her town obviously doesn’t have much to see yet, and most of her villagers aren’t that great–except for Fauna, who was already asleep. But I checked out the town, and also the drive-in campground (where we tried to stay warm by the campfire).

Warming by the fire.

Pavé was visiting, so we checked out his RV…and scared him repeatedly by honking the horn. 😛

I also did the Shrunk Funk Shuffle in Beth’s tent, and she could only watch helplessly. She has a long way to go before she unlocks it herself. 😛

Back in Forest, Luna told me that Wyatt from Sunville was my most recent dream visitor. Thanks for stopping by!

Have a great 2023, everyone! See you all next time! 🙂
