Jeff's New Leaf Blog

On Monday, Mira asked to visit my house, and I let her come over. So she followed me home.

She complimented my exotic bed, while also giving me a backhanded compliment. She said I have good taste, even though I don’t look like I do. 😑

She later called me a rich show-off. These visits sure seem to bring out the rudeness in villagers, don’t they?

Inkwell asked me to fetch Jeremiah for him, and it was all just so that Inkwell could return an item (a racer tee) to him. Why couldn’t he just have me deliver it?

Inkwell gave me a western fence for helping out.

On Tuesday, Gulliver was in town (down on the beach). He told me he wanted to visit a country that’s very long and shaped like a boot. I knew he was talking about Italy, and he later sent me a Mouth of Truth in the mail.

Yesterday, Renee the rhino was camping at the campsite. I stopped in to say hello, and that’s about it. 😛

Today, I had another camper: Drift the frog. He’s not a bad villager, but I do have him in Wild World at the moment. (And of course, my town here is still full.)

Mira spotted my Mouth of Truth in my pockets, and she wanted me to trade it for a club tee. I agreed to the trade, even though I already had a club tee (and I was wearing it at the time)! But it seemed to make her happy, at least.

When I visited Inkwell, he wanted to buy that extra club tee for 90 bells. I had no need for it, so I sold it to him. But when he turned around, I realized that the back of his head resembles the squid bumpers in his house! I’m not sure if those are gills or what, but Inkwell and the bumpers both have them.

That’s all I have for now, but I’ll see you all in June! Never Stop Crossing! 🙂

On May 1st, Muffy the black sheep was camping out at the campsite. So I stopped in to say hello.

The next day was May 2nd, and that was my town anniversary! It’s been 11 years since I became the mayor of Forest, so Isabelle dragged me off to a special ceremony. Interestingly, the attendees were asymmetrical; nobody else stood on the right side with Molly!

I said a few words, we shot off some party poppers, and we had a good time (I suppose). 😛

If you’d like to revisit that day, you can see my blog entry…or the video, which I almost forgot existed. 😛

A bit later, I shot down a balloon present that contained some roasted dino meat. Wow, how long has that been floating around up there? 😆

On May 6th, Mira asked me for some new furniture that would surprise Rolf and anyone else who drops by her place. So I gave the roasted dino meat to her. That will surely give Rolf a surprise! He’ll probably want to dig right in!

Speaking of digging, Boots asked me to dig up his time capsule today. I did, and he found a sweat-soaked red-check tee inside. Why is it still sweat-soaked after several weeks in the ground?

Of course, that sopping wet shirt was my reward for burying and digging up the time capsule. Oh joy.

Saharah was in town, and I hired her to install some new wallpaper and carpeting…after we ran back to my house, of course.

She installed this music-room wall and parquet floor.

Aurora asked me for some fruit tonight, so I gave her a coconut that I already had in my pockets. But to my surprise, she turned it down. She said she can’t eat a coconut!

But the most shocking part was that this ended the request! I was going to give her some bananas that I also had in my pockets, but she no longer had an option to give her fruit! Oof. I don’t know why she couldn’t accept an alternate fruit! That’s kind of annoying.

I recently posted my annual slideshow of best New Leaf screenshots. Check it out if you’d like; it’s the 11th Year in Pictures.

Have a good day, everyone. I’ll see you next time!

On April 20th, Rolf asked me to collect signatures for his “Restore the Good Ol’ Days” petition.

Of course, I had to decline the request now that online play is no longer officially supported. Although honestly, I would have declined it anyway. 😆 But I don’t have to feel guilty about it now, haha.

That same day, Boots asked me to bury a time capsule for him. I agreed to do it, so he will let me know when he’s ready for it back.

Today, I noticed something that has apparently escaped my notice for 11 years…and you may laugh at me for this. But I noticed that Aurora’s house is green!

I always thought it was off-white or light gray or pearl or something. Me being colorblind certainly plays a part in that, but the lighting (and cloud cover) also plays a role. I’ve historically played mostly at night, but I’ve been playing in the daytime more lately. It was clear and sunny when I played today, though, so I noticed the color. 😛

When I went inside, Aurora asked me to fetch Cube for her. I tracked him down, but there was a problem. I couldn’t ask him to come with me, because he was sitting on the metal bench in town! There was no way to tell him the news.

I had to go up to Main Street, and then return, to get him off his butt. 😛 So he followed me back to Aurora’s house, where she reminded him that he needed help writing a letter to his cousin.

Cube said he needed help spelling a certain word, but he couldn’t remember what word it was.

So he turned around and left, saying he wanted to get back to his juice box and crayons.

Well, that was pointless. 😆

Over at the campsite, Timbra the sheep was camping out. I was not interested in her, and Forest is full anyway.

Inkwell asked me for some new furniture, so I bought a money box from Harv’s campground. Yes, I was blatantly trying to bribe Inkwell into giving me his picture. He liked the money box…

But he only rewarded me with a common floor. I was uncommonly floored.

That’s all I have for now. I’ll let you all get back to your juice box and crayons. 😆 See you next time!
