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. 😆

On Wednesday, I received a goodbye letter from Wart Jr. in the mail. I’m glad it was him, and not Lily, that moved out.

When I spoke with Candi, she offered to buy the trilobite I had in my pockets for 2,290 bells. I agreed to the trade, but then something unusual happened. She said she hoped I wasn’t agreeing just to be nice…

…and she gave me a chance to back out of the deal! But I still sold it to her.

Usually, villagers are at the opposite end of the spectrum on things like this. Occasionally, they will even steal things from you outright, without giving you a chance to decline! So seeing Candi giving me a second chance was really surprising! Thanks for being nice for a change, Candi!

Nearby, I found a new house. Murphy the bear cub is my newest villager!

Murphy lived in Forest back in 2012, but there’s an interesting twist to that: I never actually saw him at the time, at least not his face! See, he moved in on Halloween that year. So when I got over to his house, he was already dressed up as Jack, demanding candy from me! And by the next time I played, he had already moved out! But at any rate, welcome (back) to Forest, Murphy!

Baabara was telling me about what she saw while walking by the beach one night. She said that she saw a body lying there in the sand!

And when she went back to see it a 2nd time, it was gone! Even though it sounded like she was talking about Gulliver, she seemed to think it was a ghost.

On Thursday, it was raining in town. Fortunately, Puck devised a plan to make the rain stop: Just simply wait for the rainy season to end. Genius.

Meanwhile, Murphy did not seem very happy to see me. For no apparent reason. He’s not making a very good impression on me so far.

Hank told me that he thought he could show off for the ladies by bowling in the rain. I guess as long as he watches out for strikes…of lightning.

I guess rain bowling is right up his alley. 🎳

I played again tonight, and it was raining once again. Tom warned me not to spin my umbrella anywhere near him, because he didn’t want to get wet.

I wasn’t looking to start any beef with Tom, so I didn’t get my umbrella out and spin it on him out of spite. Not this time, at least. 😆

After making my rounds, I did a little ocean fishing (just 5-10 minutes) in hopes of snagging a coelacanth. I didn’t find one, but I did catch a couple of barred knifejaws and several red snappers as well. But there will be plenty of time for good ocean fishing in September.
