I got a goodbye letter from Coco today. She moved out pretty quickly. Nestle Quikly.

Coco’s replacement has not moved in yet, so I have 14 villagers at the moment. But that didn’t stop Maple from talking about moving out of town herself.

For some reason, I told her I’d miss her if she left. But I don’t think these conversations actually mean anything on GameCube anyway.

Hank was looking forward to the harvest festival; he can’t wait to stuff his gut!

Tom asked if I liked playing sports, and I said yes. So he said I look like someone who likes tumbling! Only if you mean Tumblr.

After speaking with Emerald, I spotted a moving shadow go across the ground. It was a balloon present! It flew north to south, and I followed it all the way down. At least twice, it looked like it should have gotten stuck in trees that had nothing in them (no fruit or bugs), but for whatever reason, it went all the way out to the ocean. Once it got there, it took a sharp turn upwards and disappeared from view.

After starting up the game today, I went to meet my newest neighbor Coco.

When I talked to Puck, he was wondering if he should choose lunch or friendly conversation. The correct answer is lunch. Go eat, Puck.

Up at Nookington’s, I decided to buy this chevron shirt.

I also went to talk to Tom, but he didn’t have much to say.

I then decided to do something I haven’t done in quite a while: Visit the museum! I had practically forgotten how it looked. I started out in the bug room. It’s a lot smaller than it is in later Animal Crossing games, but that’s true of all of the museum rooms.

I went clockwise from one room to the next. The art gallery was my next stop.

After that, I headed into the fossil room.

And my last stop was the aquarium. I’ve always liked how you can change the camera to get a good view of the frog up on the lily pad.

That was a nice blast from the past hanging out in there for a while. It’s so easy to completely forget about the museum once you’ve donated all of the exhibits, so it’s good to return for a look every now and again.

Anyway, I noticed that I had two gold shovels in my pockets. I didn’t need them both, so I went up to Nook’s to sell one. Of course he won’t buy it from you, but he will take it off your hands for free. He’ll even pretend to get excited by the free gift.

Tonight, I got a goodbye letter in the mail from Aurora.

Kody was right by my house, so I talked to him. He told me there was a reason the weather was so nice.

He said it was because there were no rain clouds in the sky. Wow, what a genius he is.

Gulliver was passed out on the beach, so I woke him up. He thanked me for saving his life and gave me a plate armor.

I spoke with Mathilda and she pointed out that I’ll never be as popular as her. Rude.

I saw on my map that Coco was my newest neighbor! But when I went to go meet her, I found that she was sleeping.

I’ll have to meet her next time.
