Jeff's New Leaf Blog

When I visited Inkwell on Monday, he was showing off his “spankin’-new” super toilet. 😛

Of course, he was trying to talk me into buying it from him…at a price of 1,584 bells. When I’m trying to earn someone’s villager picture, I’ll do almost anything for them (except collect petition signatures or catch a fish/bug that’s not available). So I bought the toilet from him. 😛

I later regifted the toilet to Molly when she asked me for some furniture. In return, she gave me a tennis table.

Cube was sitting on the bench near town hall, and he asked me to join him. I gladly did just that, and I watched the geyser almost touch the moon. 🌙

Yesterday, Graham the hamster was camping at the campsite. Even though I have an open spot in town, I didn’t invite him here.

My two penguins were having a discussion about food. Cube asked Aurora why she never shares her homemade snacks with him. Aurora wondered how Cube knew she cooked, and he said that he could smell it from a mile away. Aurora said that the artistic presentation of her banana bread would be lost on Cube.

Yeowch, that is harsh. Aurora then ended the conversation, saying she had a headache. I never knew Aurora was such a savage.

Today, I found Saharah in town, right next to my house. I hired her to put in some new wallpaper and carpeting, and she installed a ranch wall and modern wood flooring.

I ran into Cube tonight, and he said that holes in socks aren’t cool, but holes in pants are awesome. He’s a weird dude.

If you haven’t yet seen my annual slideshow that I posted earlier this month, here it is: The 9th Year in Pictures.

According to Luna, my recent dream visitors include Drake from Doborage and Sunbeam from Arcadia. Thanks for stopping by!

On April 24th (my first day playing after Big Top moved out), I received his goodbye letter in the mail. He included his picture along with the letter. It was weird seeing an empty spot where his house sat for years. So long, old friend.

Cube was talking about Weeding Day, and he wondered if weeds would taste good if you cooked them right. Did he just predict cooking in New Horizons? 😉

I didn’t play on Weeding Day, but I did play again yesterday. When I spoke to Aurora, it looked like I was talking to a lucky cat instead of a penguin. 😂

Today (May 2nd), Isabelle greeted me outside of my house. It’s my town anniversary, so Isabelle dragged me over to the town tree/event plaza for a celebration. Aurora (one of my starters) was also there, along with Porter and Hornsby. Happy 9th anniversary, Forest!

She gave me another sapling clock, and we fired off some party poppers.

If you’d like to relive my first day in Forest, you can see that first blog entry here.

After the celebration was over, Cube told me he was obsessed with getting a female mask. To be specific, it was the female mask I just got from Agent S.

Cube offered me 400 bells for it, and I agreed to the exchange.

In an area overgrown with orange roses (and other flowers), I ran into Saharah. I hired her to install new wallpaper and carpeting in my house.

I paid her 3,000 bells, and she put in a skyscraper wall and daisy meadow. I didn’t necessarily want either of them, but oh well.

Back outside, Lolly told me she was going to move out of town on May 12th. Even though I’ve said I may let some long-time villagers go, Lolly is not one of them. 😛

See you all next time!

Today is moving day for Big Top. After 3,269 days in Forest, he is leaving town…to join the big top of the circus perhaps? Except that the big circuses stopped using elephants during his stay in Forest. I wonder if he knows?

I will certainly miss Big Top. But I never intended for him to stay for nine years. Even though most of my GameCube villagers have been around for well over a decade, I don’t necessarily want all of my towns to be like that. So don’t be surprised if I let some other long-time New Leaf villagers leave in the next few months too.

Inkwell told me that Big Top hasn’t done much planning, so he doesn’t even know where he’s going to live. I felt like Inkwell was trying to make me feel bad about letting him go. 🙁

Hornsby asked me to make a delivery to Boots, because he was too hungry to do it himself. 😛 Luckily for him, I agreed to help out.

The gift was a monkey shirt, and Boots went ape for it. He thanked me by giving me his picture, and he said he hopes it’s not something I already have!

Except that he himself has given me about half a dozen of these now. 😂

When I spoke to Rolf, he had a flea on him. He asked me for some furniture…so I caught the flea and then gave that to him! He was surprisingly hoppy happy with it, and he rewarded me with an editor’s desk. 😛

Lolly asked me to play a game of hide-and-seek, and I was up to the challenge. Rolf and Agent S joined in, so I was playing with three of my favorite villagers!

Lolly gave me 15 minutes to find them all, and I found Rolf almost immediately.

I later found Agent S and Lolly hiding behind trees, and I won the game without any trouble. Lolly gave me an exotic lamp as my prize.

Agent S asked me for a tiger beetle, so I went out to the island to look for one. It just took me a couple minutes to find one. When I returned to the mainland to give it to her, she thanked me with an arctic-camo shirt.

According to Luna, Sloth from Island was my most recent dream visitor. Thanks for stopping by, and have a good day!
