Alfonso, my third-best friend from my new Animal Crossing town and the only one I’d taught to say a new phrase yet (“finarfin”), just informed me that he’s moving away on New Year’s Day. On the one hand I’m sad. On the other, at least they tell you ahead of time now and spend a day packing boxes, rather than just disappearing like in the GameCube game.

I kinda miss my GameCube town playing this new one. Frighton doesn’t have nearly as many interesting people in it yet as Canton had. Maybe I’ll get lucky and Alfonso the Alligator will be replaced by Boots the Alligator, my best friend from my old town.

So long as Peanut doesn’t leave.

Yeah, that’s how I spend my break at work today. Playing Animal Crossing.
