I played the game briefly in late April, and I learned that Huck had moved out of town. His replacement was Dizzy, but Dizzy was passed out (well, sleeping) when I went to his house. I didn’t do much else, because I was really only playing to see which villager moved in. I was hoping for Woolio (for a video I’ll include later in this entry), but I later got him in another town (Aja Blu).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fast forward to today, when I got Dizzy’s goodbye letter in the mail (even though I didn’t actually get to meet him). I also got a couple of fossils back in the mail. As I closed the mail menu, Pete flew overhead and dropped by!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He landed, looked around, and then immediately took off again before I went over to talk to him. I didn’t even plan on witnessing this today, I just happened to be playing right at 5:00 p.m. As he flew away, I tried to follow him until he flew too high (above the “camera”).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was quite surprised when I found Dizzy’s replacement: Bob!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Bob:<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

For those who aren’t aware, Bob is one of my favorite villagers in the series. I think he has lived in Forest once or twice before, but not in the past eight years, at least (this blog started in 2011). He did live in my second town of Ohio not too long ago, though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He asked if I had been in his house trying to move his furniture around. This was the first time I had seen him, so obviously it wasn’t me. But then again, nobody could actually move his furniture anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Nook’s shop, I bought myself a snowcone shirt for summer. Of course, I forgot to put it on until I was almost done for the day, but here’s a pic of it when I tried it on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I spotted a blue balloon present, and I followed it until it got stuck in a tree. I found a tumbleweed inside! Who would wrap up a tumbleweed like a present?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I ran into Bob again, and he gave me an apple (a foreign fruit) for free! What a guy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Bob:
I’m going to sell it, not eat it.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

After speaking with all of my villagers, I stopped by the post office, checked out the dump (nothing good today), and returned home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since my last blog entry, I’ve posted two new Animal Crossing GameCube videos. The first one shows 43 villagers that still haven’t returned. It took me nine months of resetting and making temporary towns to find all of these villagers! Woolio in particular seemed to take me forever. Please check out the video; I’ve included a silly rhyme for each villager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
