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.

When I started up the game this evening, I quickly went to the home of my newest neighbor: Mathilda the kangaroo. She and her baby live in acre B-1, next to Aurora.

I spoke with her again, and she asked if I had a use for my mammoth skull. Yeah, to protect my mammoth brain!

But she was talking about the fossil in my pocket, and I sold it to her for 2,400 bells. I then went up to Nook’s, where Tom Nook now has candy for sale. If you plan on participating in the Halloween festivities on the 31st, you’ll definitely want to start stocking up on candy now!

When I talked to Genji, he showed me a letter and then said I should try to write a letter like that, on his bum. But I’m not going anywhere near it!

And I don’t usually try for the money rock, but I did today. I got seven bags, good for a total of 13,300 bells.

In acre B-2, Kody was looking over the cliff like he was thinking about jumping off. I couldn’t bear to watch.

Kody didn’t jump though; he was just looking at a bug. In that same acre, I went to visit Emerald. She was just standing there, surrounded by three umbrellas. Was this some sort of ritual to make it rain?

After that, I stopped at the post office, finished pulling weeds, and made sure my town was back to perfect town status before I ended my game for the night.

I’ve made a video showing off Genji’s catchphrase “on my bum” from last week. When I first taught it to him, he used it in several funny ways. You can see them here:
