Boomer’s replacement moved in today, and I was a bit surprised to see that it was Marcel the mime dog (again).

Marcel lived in Forest just last year, and he moved out last August. That’s less than a year, and he’s back already. That makes him the 2nd villager to leave in 2022, and return in 2023! (Goldie was the other one.) This sort of thing never used to happen, and now it’s happened twice in the past month. Weird.

Saharah was in town today, looking for old carpets. Grizzly was talking about her, and he even called her an oddball. 😛

I started asking around, and my old friend Tom (the cat, not the raccoon) was the only one to give me some old carpet. Thanks, Tom!

Fortunately, I had two others saved in storage. So I grabbed them all and started looking for Saharah. I was wondering if maybe this would be the time I would finally get the lunar surface, which Saharah still has not given me even once in 14.5 years. But it wasn’t meant to be: She took my three old carpets and just gave me a tatami instead.

It’s just frustrating that I haven’t been able to make a proper space room in this game in 14+ years.

Down by the beach, I caught my first shark of the season. 😎 I love how big the shark shadows look in this game. And the fins are so prominent compared to how they look in New Horizons, too.

My recent video “If Animal Crossing was Narrated by Zelda TotK Characters” has a couple of short ACCF clips in it, even though it’s mostly New Horizons. But I hope you’ll check it out if you haven’t seen it yet: Link

On Thursday, I received Boomer’s goodbye letter in the mail.

The door to the Resetti Surveillance Center was open in the city, so I dropped in for a visit. Resetti wasn’t around, but Don was talking about how Resetti likes scalding hot baths. He even said he tried to join in Resetti’s bath, but it was too hot for him. Um, okay…

Tonight, Harry was sick with a cold, and I generously gave him some medicine.

I spoke with Nat outside of town hall. The Bug-Off was held today, but of course I played too late to participate. Nat informed me that Goldie won the competition by catching a 55-point diving beetle. Congrats to Goldie!

I went over to the Roost, and K.K. Slider performed K.K. Faire for me. I always enjoy that song, even if I did just hear it in Wild World last weekend.

Antonio and Harry were chatting in the rain tonight, and apparently Antonio mistook Harry for a former wrestling star. I’m not sure how anyone could confuse Harry for any type of star.

When I went into Boomer’s house, I saw that he was all packed up to move away. Even though he’s not one of my favorites, he has grown on me during his time in Forest. I just might even miss him a bit.

Grizzly was outside, being his usual cranky self. He was mad about the rain, and he was determined to put a stop to it somehow. 😛

Just go back into your cave and wait it out, dude.

I went over to the Roost, and I asked K.K. Slider for a random song. Unfortunately, he played K.K. Marathon for me…nearly putting me to sleep. 😪

Lobo, another cranky villager, was complaining about the weather too, but not about the rain. He was annoyed by the heat of summer, and he said he wished he was just wearing an animal costume. 😛
