Amelia Arrives

When I checked my mail today, I learned that Mallary has ducked out of town. This was her goodbye letter:

Dearest Jeff! During my entire move, I was sure I was forgetting something. You know what it was? I forgot to say adieu to you. I hope this letter will ease your devastation... All the best! -Mallary

I ran into Mallary’s replacement almost immediately: It’s Amelia, the snooty eagle. I’m already not a fan.

Amelia: You don't have to shout! I'm right here, eaglet! And I have delicate ears, so show a little restraint!

Unlike most incoming villagers, Amelia has not lived in Forest since I started this blog in 2011. (She may have lived here before that though, since I didn’t keep track of everyone.) But the only other mention of her in this blog is when she appeared as a camper who gave me a cow skull in 2011.

Emerald the frog told me that the rain was ruining her day. She wanted to make some raviolis, but she said she can’t go shopping in the rain? Why not? You’re outside standing in the rain anyway, so what’s the big deal?

Emerald: I really want to whip up some raviolis, but I can't go shopping in this rain...

When I spoke with Sydney, she begged me to take her to another town! Sorry, but I’m not taking you anywhere. I’ve secretly destroyed the train. 😛

Sydney: So, would you please take me to another village, sunshine? Please?

Ursala was looking forward to the fireworks festival next week, but it sounds like she enjoys watching the other villagers more than the fireworks themselves!

Ursala: Everybody hangs out by the lake, necks craned up at the sky, jaws dropping in awe at the fireworks.
They must see something I don’t see, because I have to look down at the lake to see the fireworks.

She thinks everyone looks like silly guppies. 😛

Ursala: I love how silly they all look, grooomph! Like big guppies or something!

Gulliver was washed up on the beach, so I “saved his life” by waking him up. He gave me a free matryoshka. What a doll.

Gulliver: Thanks for the whole saving my life thing. May your sails stay full and your socks stay dry!

Patty asked me to help her get through a maze in her Nintendo Power magazine (by choosing left or right several times). This bit of dialogue used to annoy me so much, mainly because I used to see it very often. But for whatever reason, I hadn’t seen it in a while!

Patty: I'm trying to get through the maze in the back of my Nintendo Power, but it's too hard! I can't find the end!

If you haven’t seen my latest video, which I posted a couple weeks ago, here it is: GameCube Moments #17.

Never Stop Crossing! 🙂
