I played on Monday (October 26th), and I found a goodbye letter from Peewee in the mail.

Static had a pop quiz for me, asking which of three aquatic creatures can’t be caught in this town (or this game, really). I correctly answered with “snapping turtle,” and Static joked that Kapp’n might become a snapping turtle if you poke him with an oar. 😆

My prize for winning was a modern chair.

Ursala asked what my favorite fall event was, and I chose the sports fair. She started telling me how bad she is at throwing balls around.

She said it makes her realize her arms can’t throw correctly. And she keeps getting hit by balls. 😆

I played again today, and Peewee’s replacement has moved in. It’s Gonzo the cranky koala, who has lived in town previously back in 2012. Just seconds after introducing himself, he already told me I was looking as awful as ever! How the heck would he know?

That’s definitely not the best first impression, although I don’t really like ugly koalas anyway.

Hank was over by the wishing well, talking about Wendell the starving artist.

He told me that if I give Wendell some food, he will…do something. But Hank forgot what it was! Haha, silly Hank. 😆

Have a Happy Halloween, everyone! I won’t be playing in this game, but I plan to play some City Folk on Saturday night. Stay safe and have a good time! 🎃

On Tuesday (September 8th), I unfortunately found a goodbye letter from Kiki in the mail. I’m sad to see her go.

Her replacement was Zoe the anteater, who moved into the plot next to Candi. That’s the spot where Yuka once lived, many years ago! Zoe may not be my favorite, but at least she’s no Yuka. 😛

It was raining in town, and Puck wasn’t happy about it. He hoped that it was just a passing shower.

Of course, there’s no such thing as a passing shower on GameCube. When it’s a rainy day, it rains the entire day.

I took advantage of the great September fishing by catching plenty of red snappers, barred knifejaws, and several coelacanths as well (thanks to the rain).

I filled my pockets up repeatedly, making over 450k in total on Tuesday.

I played again yesterday, and after Puck showed me a letter, he warned me to watch out when he’s hungry. 😛

Peewee asked me to buy his skull shirt for 660 bells. Since October (and Halloween) are right around the corner, I decided to buy it and put it on. 💀

I found Gulliver down on the beach, and he gave me a free tribal mask. I wish he would give me one of those in Wild World, since it’s the only Gulliver item I don’t have in that game.

It wasn’t raining yesterday, so there weren’t any more coelacanths out. But I still did some more fishing. Unfortunately, a few sea bass have started to return. I wish there was an option to throw fish back even when your pockets aren’t full! I don’t need these things!

My fishing haul scored me over 200k yesterday.

I played again today, and Hank was blown away by the fact that I had a salmon. 😆

He wanted to trade his pear for it, and I agreed to the exchange. If it makes you that excited, go enjoy that salmon, Hank. 😆

I went on my third and final fishing run of September. By the time I was done, I had completely filled up the dump with garbage I’ve fished from the ocean this week.

I earned over 300k tonight, which pushed this week’s total up to one million bells. That was my (unspoken) goal coming in, so I’m glad I reached that milestone even though the sea bass showed up before I was ready for them. 😆 I should have started earlier in the month, but oh well.

See you all next month!

On Wednesday, I found a goodbye letter from Murphy in the mail. Not to sound rude, but I’m just glad it wasn’t Kiki that moved out! (Kiki is one of my favorites, of course.)

Puck was telling me about the ability to connect a Game Boy Advance to a GameCube, which makes a boat appear. He seemed really excited about it for some reason. 😆

He said he wants to go for a boat ride and let his fingers dangle in the water. But he doesn’t even have fingers!

I found a new (play) house next door to Maple, and Peewee the gorilla was inside. I’m not a fan of gorillas (except for Louie, of course). But welcome to Forest anyway, Peewee. Enjoy your (hopefully) short stay.

Shortly after I caught a purple butterfly, Sydney took notice of it. And she did it in a way that made use of her catchphrase. 😛

She offered me 1,050 bells for the purple butterfly, but I declined. That’s only about half of what Tom Nook will pay.

I played again today, and Kiki offered to sell me a tartan rug or a stone wall for 5,000 bells. Yikes!

That’s a lot of money, especially when neither one of them is rare. No thanks, kitty cat.

Puck told me that he was so starving that he was going to flip his wig!

But surprisingly, he wasn’t asking me for food. That was just part of his dialogue. He continued on the topic of food though. He called me fat, and he told me to watch my snack intake. However, he said he’s able to eat whatever he likes because he hides his weight with his clothes! Ha!

When I spoke with Baabara, she too called me fat. She gave me some advice as well, except hers was much more specific:

No hash browns after 9 p.m.? I guess that’s when the potatoes hit the sack. 🥔

A few weeks ago, I posted my latest Animal Crossing GameCube Moments video, #30! Here it is if you haven’t seen it yet:

September is right around the corner, and that means it’s almost the best time of year for fishing! I plan on doing some ocean fishing in the first part of the month, especially if I can catch a rainy day for some coelacanths! Happy fishing if you decide to participate as well!
