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!

I found a goodbye letter from Lily in the mail yesterday. 🙁 I hate to see that she’s hopped town, but such is life. Goodbye, Lily. We’ll meet again somewhere.

But despite the bad start to my session, things did improve. Moments later, I met my newest neighbor: Kiki the black cat! She’s one of my favorites!

She has lived in Forest before, back in 2013. It’s good to have her back! 🙂

Just a few acres away, I got another surprise: Another rainbow!

This is the 2nd time this year I’ve seen a rainbow, and just my 4th time overall! Here’s the view from the other side.

The daily glowing spot was almost hidden behind the edge of a cliff, but it contained a surprise: 30,000 bells instead of the usual 1,000. It must be my lucky day!

When I ran into Baabara, she was interested in my mini dingloid. Uh, my gyroid. She wanted to give me a garden stone for it, and I agreed to the trade.

I played again today, and Belle sent me a G logo shirt in the mail. I decided to put it on.

Emerald was talking about the morning aerobics that are now underway. She encouraged me to get up at 6 a.m. to participate, even though she called me a “lazybones.”

But she told me to imagine how good breakfast will taste after a hard morning workout. (But I’d still rather sleep in, if I can.) 😛

Belle told me that she picked an apple tree clean, and she gave me a free apple. Thanks, Belle!

But she insisted that she still had 54 apples left! I’ve never found more than three apples on a tree, so I wonder what magic tree she’s been shaking. 😆
