I was going to meet Chevre the goat today, but she has already moved out of town! I got her goodbye letter in the mail; I like how she thanked me for all I’ve done for her when we never even met. Thanks for nothing!

There are only 14 villagers in town now, so that means her replacement has not moved in yet. I went to say hi to Petunia, and she was looking forward to Groundhog Day on Sunday.

My pockets were full of stuff from last time, so I headed to Nook’s to sell it all. However, being the last day of the month, I couldn’t sell anything! Today was raffle day and I didn’t even have any raffle tickets. No prize for me!

There was an igloo in town, so I stepped inside and saw Static. I played his games a few times to sell him some of the fossils in my pockets. I’m not sure how his prices compared to Nook’s, but I appreciated freeing up a couple of spots in my pockets regardless.

When I spoke with Tom, he told me that he was being chased by a bee and then fell into a pit near the post office! He seemed to suspect me, but he couldn’t prove it! I’m innocent, I tell ya!

After that, I went around pulling weeds–there were quite a few of them! After a quick stop at the post office, I returned home for the night. I’ll see you all next time!

I started up the game tonight and got a goodbye letter from Mathilda, who has recently moved out of town.

As I started my walk around town, I soon spotted an igloo. Puck was inside, warning me to keep out of his chowder. That’s a pretty big pot there, you can’t share a bowl?

I played a few of his games, and at one point, he almost forgot his own name!

I saw on my map that my new villager is Chevre the goat. However, she was already asleep! I’ll have to meet her next time (if she doesn’t move out of town before I play next).

I then decided I was going to take a trip to the island. But as I was searching for my GameCube-GBA link cable, I must have stepped on the power cord to my Wii, accidentally unplugging it. So that meant I lost my progress for today. Granted, it was nothing important, but I did pull a lot of weeds. I reluctantly started the game back up, knowing I would have to face the wrath of Resetti. And boy, did I. For the first time that I could remember, he made me look at him right in the face. That’s right, it literally changed to a first-person view as he yelled at me!

Here is a video of the encounter:

Anyway, I made my way out to the island and said hello to my islander, Ankha.

I also went into my island house, which is incredibly messy. I use it for storage of my Jingle furniture, igloo items (including my DUMMY), island items, and other miscellaneous crap.

Before I left the island, I talked to Ankha once again. She asked me if I could find her a white king.

She said she had been looking for one forever. I quickly got back on the boat and returned to Forest. It was getting late, so I didn’t bother re-pulling all my weeds. Instead, I just returned home for the night.

Blaire, the snooty squirrel, has already moved out of town. I got her goodbye letter when I started up the game today.

I wanted to see who her replacement was, so I checked my map and saw a new house in acre B-1. It belonged to another snooty animal, Petunia the purple cow.

After introducing myself, I spoke with her a second time and she showed interest in my trilobite.

She offered me a regal wall for it, but I declined. Trading a fossil for wallpaper is not a fair trade. So of course, she got mad that I turned her down.

After pushing her around a little bit, I resumed my late night walk around town. The daily glowing spot gave me 10,000 bells today. And at the wishing well, Baabara offered me her plaza tile for my plesio neck.

The conversation was identical to the one I had with Petunia earlier. I declined and continued on.

Over by the museum, I pushed a snowball into a hole. Later Animal Crossing games don’t let you do this; the snowball will break as soon as it hits the hole. Even though it serves no purpose, I just like doing weird things like this on GameCube. Just because I can.

I then stopped at the post office and then returned home. I went into my basement and decided to play some NES Donkey Kong.

The inclusion of NES games in Animal Crossing is one of the game’s best (and most overlooked) features. I played a few rounds of DK before ending my game for the night.
