Bob!

I found Bob’s house plot yesterday, and then his house was complete today. I got extremely lucky with the house location once again. Look: Neither of these houses was here a few days ago, and they lined up perfectly and symmetrically on both sides of my existing path.

Bob and Hamlet's houses.Of course, I went in to meet my old friend and newest neighbor, Bob! Welcome to ACNL Forest, Bob! Even though this obviously isn’t the same Bob that lived in my ACCF town for years, I am looking forward to seeing the purple cat on a regular basis once again.

Bob: Hey, Jeff! It's me! Bob! You asked me to move here, so here I am!Now that Elise is gone, another animal started appearing on Main Street: Drago! It’s good to see him again!

Drago: Well, if it isn't ol' Jeff!My 2nd newest villager, Hamlet, was out and about today, so I had a little chat with him. He was questioning his fashion sense.

Hamlet: But what does basic really mean? I'm starting to wonder if I have any fashion sense...Even though Forest has gone through some dark times lately, I really like how things have turned out. I basically traded Peck and Elise for Hamlet and Bob. What a deal! Of course, I do still have Hippeux in town, but having Hamlet and Bob more than makes up for it.

Speaking of Hamlet, I ran into him again later this evening. He had a flea on him, so I grabbed my net and caught it for him.

Hamlet: You really saved my bacon this time, Jeff! Thanks!
Ham and bacon? You’re not even a pig!

Beth invited me over to her town Otaku to say hi to Dizzy. Once I arrived, I showed her my lucky frog. It seemed to gross her out a bit, so I’m tempted to keep it for future use.

Showing Beth my lucky frog.But when I went down to say hi to Dizzy, I found out that he was already asleep!

Sign: I'm sleeping... Please don't wake me up, OK? -DizzyJust for that, I destroyed Beth’s town. I didn’t stick around long, so I quickly returned home to Forest and wrapped up my night.

My recent dream visitors have been Terri from Kakariko and Exbo from Prospit. Thanks for visiting and I’ll see you next time. Have a good weekend!

Note: I’ll be posting a new video on my Youtube channel tomorrow (Saturday). Even though it’s not a New Leaf video, it is something that I think all Animal Crossing fans will enjoy. šŸ™‚

Hamster and a Camper

Last night, I found a new house plot in town. Hamlet the hamster is going to be moving in. Once again, I got pretty lucky with the house placement. It’s just a few spaces (diagonally) from where Peck lived. No paths were obstructed and no gold roses were destroyed.

This spot reserved for Hamlet's new home. -Nook's HomesThere was a tent at the campsite, so I went inside to check it out. Guess who was in there!

BOB!

Bob camping in a tent.If you’re not aware, Bob was my favorite villager in my ACCF town for many years, and I was very disappointed when he moved out in 2013. So naturally, I was thrilled to see him in the campsite, especially since my town was not full! I played a game of charades with him, and I won. That means he’ll be moving in soon! šŸ™‚

Bob: Well, a deal's a deal! Guess I'll be moving here soon!When I made my daily bank deposit at the post office, my balance topped 70 million bells.

Your current balance is 70,050,000 bells.And then today, I went in to meet Hamlet. He wondered how I got in his house, until he remembered he left the door unlocked. He may not be the brightest beast in town, but he is kind of a cute critter. Welcome to Forest, little guy.

Hamlet: Oh, duh. The door was unlocked.I didn’t see Bob’s house plot anywhere in town yet. I imagine it will probably show up tomorrow, and he’ll likely move in on Friday. So I’ll be back with another entry once he arrives.

My recent dream visitors have been A from Mori, Xavier from Quigley, and Gabe from Poketown. Thanks for stopping by! See you next time!

Heavy Sleeper Badge

I received Elise’s goodbye letter in the mail today. I’m glad her stay in Forest was such a short one.

Elise's goodbye letter.
Oh, I’m VERY excited. For you…and me.

I had another camper in town today, and at first I thought it was the same cat as yesterday! But it was actually Rudy today; yesterday’s camper was Punchy.

Rudy: Hey! Do you think it's OK if I campe here for a while?Agent S asked me to find a cherry for her, so I grabbed a perfect cherry that I had attached to a letter. She loved it, and she rewarded me with a queen. Wow, it’s not often that you find a squirrel who carries around a queen in her pockets.

Agent S: Thanks SO much! You can't imagine how happy that made me! Here. Have a queen!It’s always a good idea to talk to Copper (or Booker) more than once–especially if the first thing he mentions is a camper in town. I spoke to Copper a second time, and he told me that Phineas was also here! So I began my search for him, expecting that he would give me either a fishing badge or a bug-catching badge. But once I found him, he gave me something I wasn’t expecting: The Heavy Sleeper badge!

I got the Heavy Sleeper badge! This is like a really good dream!
I’m finally being rewarded for my one true talent.

It’s the silver badge for visiting 200 dream towns. I need to visit 300 more before I can earn the gold one. That will likely be one of the last badges I earn. I think only the gold weeding and StreetPass badges will take longer–and I’ll probably never get the StreetPass one. But anyway, here is a look at my current badges:

My badge collection as of May 15, 2016.
The gold fishing and bug-catching badges continue to elude me.

I found a lost item behind the Roost, but it didn’t belong to any of the first villagers I asked about it (Molly, Rolf, Agent S, Daisy, or Pashmina). As I approached Big Top, he pinged me. Turns out he wanted to buy the hula doll that I got from Gulliver recently. He gave me 450 bells for it.

Big Top: I've been kind of obsessed with getting a hula doll lately, cool guy.I spoke to him again, and he confirmed that the lost item was his. He gave me a ranch bed for returning it.

Since I knew today was a possible Phineas day, that gave me the motivation to go out to the island for some fishing and bug-catching. My trip earned me over 180,000 bells, but all those catches did not trigger another Phineas appearance. One of these days…

Up at the Dream Suite, Luna told me that Alyssa from Cat was my most recent dream visitor. Thanks for stopping by!
