@QueenRita - Loomy? Zoomy? Boomy? Garlic? How 'bout Woman? Woman was born today, Woman evolved, I had to discipline Woman, Woman evolved into an adult, I brought Woman along to school, Woman married a Kuchipatchi just like her mother before. Why not give your tama a silly name? :^) I named one Steak and now I'll remember her for a long time.

I got one log ready so I thought it would be better to post it now, even if I could another one (or a few) ready to post on Sunday.
==Jeudi le 16 août==
[Note: Jeudi (juh-dee) means “Thursday”]
I was awakened that morning by Nemo beeping for attention. He was hungry and low on happiness. I was going to only fill his happiness and let him get a care mistake before it occurred to me that would kill my chances of getting Kuromametchi (he is achieved from partial neglect of the good care teen). I then topped him up in everything and noticed he was an hour ahead – and these modern tamas wake up early. I took my brood downstairs and before I went up to Bible study later on, I let Nemo dance with the mail, one of the special items. When I came back around 11, I put Nemo 2 hours back. I had been giving Nemo allot more alone time than any tama in this stage, but always topping him up for safety.
Omen, my V4.5, started his independent life shortly after 1:20. Due to my handy camera, I was able to get some of his ordinary activities, like eating and playing games (that’s further down in this log). I wasn’t sure what he’d become as I never plan my connection evolutions and I hadn’t run this version for long (Omen is the 7th generation).
Nemo stole the spotlight shortly after when, around 1:30, he evolved into a teen. His c-button animation showed him getting dizzy and then smiling in embarrassment. I took him out to eat... at the convenience store :^P, then to park where he met some fluffy little thing, and then back home to dance with the TV.
One care mistake and he would become a Kuromametchi.
Back to Omen, playing the cloud climbing game with him reminded me how much I liked it. The way it was designed went beyond the usual minigames in that it seemed so immersive with each upward leap to the next cloud suggesting there was more world out there. Also, cloud hopping is quite a whimsical idea. Omen when through the usual baby stuff of getting sick, napping, and needing to be fed and played with. Around 1:59, he received his first discipline.
At 2:20-ish, he evolved into... Kuchikid! Nah, I mean a Kuchitamatchi but that was legit what I thought when I first saw him. Since I had a girl still with her mommy on my V3, I planned that Omen would be her husband. I haven’t had a connection marriage in ages.
At 4:52, Nemo gave an attention call and I let him be to get a care mistake. At 5:02, Omen was two down in happiness so I fed him two oranges. At 5:07, Nemo called out because he was sick. He wept as I cured him but then smiled as the black skull disappeared and the blue haze lifted. I decided to let him get another care mistake to be perfectly safe. It was off to the arcade to up his happiness a little. At 5:19, Omen called for me and I gave him a time out. He wailed with tears. I tend to think of this as a way of teaching tamas to only use the attention beep when it is absolutely necessary. There would be no crying wolf here. Nemo later beeped at 5:37 and I imagine I topped him up after the light went out.
I took Nemo and Omen walking with me around the neighbourhood. When I got back, my father was getting ready to pick up my mother from the subway, so I tagged along. We passed by residential houses and patches of stores to eventually roll into passenger pickup, a large circular cement structure crowded with cars. Everything orbited around the cylindrical windowed “island” the passengers waited in, and that was surround by an inner ring of pavement cars would leave from, a bigger ring of parked cars, and the furthest ring of cars driving around and around. The subway cars were delayed and as we all looped, restlessly waiting for familiar faces, a car radio projected music. Some people have the radio way too loud, and often those are the very same people who like angry (often vulgar) rap music. That music was probably in the same vein but I couldn’t quite make it out, if I even tried to. I idly asked my father if he would turn on his radio at a time like this if he regularly listened to it. He wasn’t sure, mentioned there is little worth listening to, and turned on the radio.
Eventually we managed to snag a spot in the middle ring and waited. I pulled out Nemo and played with him, although Omen needed it more. Midway through a game of slots, my mother appeared and I stuffed Nemo back into the coin purse I brought him in and got out. We switched places on the trip back and soon arrived at home. I took Omen to dinner with me and Sotilde while Nemo was left on my desk. My desk was the last thing Nemo and Omen saw before they lighted out.
Around 10:15-ish, I set the time on my P1 and waited for it to hatch. I cared for the newly born Demo, a blobby black babytchi. I didn’t take any notes but I can say it was a normal baby stage and a minute after she evolved into a marutchi – a larger white blob – she fell asleep, all tuckered out. To break up the pattern, and because vintages do not have predetermined genders, I decided Demo would be a girl. Of course, her sprites wouldn’t show it but neither does the V3, which has all characters as either gender.
When I eventually went to bed, everyone was soundly sleeping with an accompanying z.
After that though Darby was turned on and Woomy was left to rest for the day as usual. We went through Math and got her weight down enough that she wouldn't even play with me anymore! So I bought her some blocks with all the gotchi coins she earned and gave her a few treats for doing such a good job, haha
