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!

Celebrating the New Year at the face-cutout standee.

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! 🙂

Runaway Dog, New Year’s Eve

On Thursday, Gulliver sent me a skeleton figurine in the mail for helping him out last time.

Tonight, Cherry told me that if she ever runs away from home, she could just live in my upstairs room. But I never agreed to any such thing! Maybe if she’d give me her photo, I’d consider it. 😉

Cherry: If I ever run away from home, I'm coming to your house! You can let me stay on the second floor!
I’d love to call it an imposition.

But then she realized that she wouldn’t need to run away from home, because she lives alone anyway. Did she really not realize that until now? 😛

Cherry: Course, I live alone. So there really isn't any reason to run away... What what.
I need to change that catchphrase of hers.

Meanwhile, Inkwell was explaining the concept of stacking bells to me.

Inkwell: Just tap and hold a money icon, and drag it to another money icon to consolidate things a bit.

He said it was so convenient. Wouldn’t it be more convenient if it did that automatically? Maybe someday. 😉

Inkwell: Heh heh! It's so convenient! Give it a try, in ink!

The northern lights were shining in the sky tonight, and they looked pretty with the big countdown timer at the event plaza.

Tonight was New Year’s Eve, of course, so Isabelle gave me some sparkling cider, and I bought a blue New Year’s hat from Crazy Redd. At midnight, I brought in the new year of 2023 as the fireworks ensued. Happy New Year! 🎆🥂

The moment that 2023 began.

Lolly and Rolf were also there for the fireworks and the celebration. 🙂

Rolf: Woohoo! Fireworks are just cool!

Since the “2023” fireworks at midnight were partially blocked by the town tree, I took another photo of them an hour later. Happy 2023!

Fireworks spell out 2023 in Animal Crossing: New Leaf.

According to Luna, my recent dream visitors have been Luigi from Luigi and David from Natrona. Thanks for stopping by!

I’ll be back with another entry tomorrow for the new zodiac figure. Have a happy and safe new year, everyone! 🙂
