September 23rd 2011

Little Noda-chan really is a lot like the handsome workaholic, after whom I named him.
He’s constantly practicing and working. I can’t even take my eyes off him for a couple minutes, or else his stress level will raise godknowswhere >_>’
Every time I see him practicing, I immediatly make him play with his rocket and praise him for it, and then maybe play a game, to get his stress level back down to a one-digit number at least, but ten minutes later, behind my back, he’s practicing again… and beaming at me, while doing so, waiting to get praised, and who am I to resist that proud little smile? ;_;“’

Btw, the Tamagotchi King showed up several times today.
He gave my baby:
- 2000gp (yay!)
- cherries
- yummy omelet
- fish
- BBQ
:3 He’s our personal hero right now. We love food. Food is good.
We also stocked up on sandwiches and fried chicken and other delicious stuff, so my little one doesn’t have to starve after becoming a teenager ^^

Ah, yeah, while we’re already at it…

HE JUST EVOLVED! 😁

Into Kikitchi, just what I hoped for!

Here’s a picture of him:



Oops, sorry, wrong one (that’s the man my little one is nicknamed after) ;P

Here is my Noda-chan:



Awwww, I mean… awwwwwww… just how cute can this little guy get? *completely in love with him right now*

Soon after his new teacher came by and gave him a trumpet - his first real instrument so far. He seems to like it, judging by the little stars, that pop up above him, when playing it, and his drop dead adorable little smile :jump:

So, taking his brand new trumpet with him, he went to his first day in music school, immediatly making two new friends there, whom I (ttly spontaneously of course *wink wink*) called Brad and Mark (okay, actually they’re called Dino and Paul, but I don’t care *lol*).



Brad seemed to be quite impressed by little Noda’s musical talent and asked him, if he’d like to join his and Mark’s band, Xero. Needless to say, Noda-chan was all in for it and they attended their first class together.
They gave their teacher a hard time, I have to say. Every couple of minutes, he scolded them for not paying attention and goofing around instead *lol* Noda-chan’s little blush, whenever that happened, was the most adorable thing in the universe, though :3
When class was over, they happily ran to their first band practice and… well, let’s say I’m impressed by the music they managed to make with just three trumpets *lol* It didn’t went all too well, though, they messed up a lot and therefor later decided, to have Mark and Noda-chan sing, and let Brad be the trumpeter of the band, until they could afford other instruments ^^ They still see themselves as a rockband *snicker*

Here they are at their second band practice:



(btw, band practice isn’t much fun at all, thx to the not all too responsive buttons :/)

When Noda-chan went to bed his stats were:
1 yr, 21lb
hungry ♥♥♥♥
happy ♥♥♥♥
stress: 02
tone: 307
rhythm: 323
original: 309
genre: Classical Music

(he keeps changing his genre like other people change their underwear *lol*)

If only I could also log into Music City now, but I get that "We’re sorry, but your connection to the server has been lost” error all the time (and sometimes even Error 403), so I guess that has to wait :/

*

Btw, meanwhile I also run some nice vintage tamagotchi simulator on my PC, and so far, I have a little Marutchi that just went to sleep and will most likely evolve into Tamatchi later on ^^
Cool thing is, that little game comes with gif files of all its components, so as soon as I have time, I’ll try my luck at customizing it, with the power of Grayskull Photoshop ;P

For now, I just edited its shell and background a bit:



Ah, yeah, and nothing new from Rob and Joe - they’re both healthy and happy and got their first paychecks today, before going to work for their next ones… just like good adults are supposed to :D

So I’ll just leave you with a picture of all three tamas taking a bath here:

Noda-chan started to get fan letters! :3 Aw~

And I started to get used to the unresponsive buttons, so band practice usually goes well by now ^^

Aside from that, nothing all to interesting happened today.

So I’ll just leave it with Noda-chan’s stats, after he went to sleep:

1 yr, 20lb

hungry ❤❤❤❤

happy ❤❤❤❤

stress: 00

tone: 585

rhythm: 461

original: 534

genre: Jazz Music

In terms of my desktop tama, I was aiming for a Ginjirotchi.

I got my Tamatchi, I made sure its hearts never empty out and wiped away every mess it made, fed no snacks, but played with it whenever even a single heart was empty… And look what I ended up with:

:/

I assume, a simulation will always be a simulation and nothing more, eh? Or it might be related to the hyper speed…

Btw, I don’t know why there’s always that strong hint of yellow in each shell design, as soon as I apply it to the tama - the gif files themselves look perfectly fine - but whatever. I managed to work around it a bit, at least when it comes to darker shell designs.

Lighter designs look like this, though:

Duh :/

On other notes: Rob and Joe got visited by the matchmaker today.

While Joe mated with a sweet little Ura-Zukyutchi, Rob… uh…

His screen went blank, while Ms. Busybody attempted to show him his soon-to-be-wife :/

I resetted and downloaded him, setting the time to 2:59pm, giving it another try.

The screen went blank again.

I resetted another time.

And this time I didn’t even get the option to download - pressing B automatically lead me to the paused clock screen. I assume that means, that I have to start all over again *sigh* Maybe it was a good thing - this tama got more and more glitchy with each generation anyways.

(In my head, he didn’t want to marry and ran away, as soon as he realized, who this old lady with the book is. OR he dressed up as a girl and married Joe o_o I mean… Ura-Zukyutchi? That’s just too much coincidence…)

I took the batteries out and put my V4 away.

As soon as Joe has left his little son, I’ll remove his batteries, too, to focus more on my exams and (later on) other Tamas.

(Ah, btw, at least I figured out, why connecting them wouldn’t work: Because I am dumb lol. Let’s just not go into details here, it’s really just… me being dense.)

I will most likely still take some time, until my TamaGo arrives, but apparantly my Wies'n Goscherl is already waiting for me to pick it up at the post office, and yes, I plan on logging my first run of it… well, as long as it’s halfway decently working, of course ^^’ With fake tamas, you never know…

So far, so good. More tomorrow! :)

September 25th 2011

Last night I turned Noda’s sound off, so I could sleep in, and when I woke up this morning, I had a little Mametchi jumping around on the screen! :D

I immediatly sent him to his friends, so they could practice at least one or two more times, before they had to face the judges, but, eh, those three were already awaiting them. They got two Os and one X :/

They were devastated and went to their teacher, to ask him what to do, but he just turned to leave, said something along the lines of “my job is done here, everything else is up to you”, and gone he was. The boys were furious and shouted some pretty awful obscenities after him (I had no idea, Noda even knew such words o_O’), before each of them went home to calm down and think over, what just happened.

For now Noda got a little job at a farm, where he helps out during harvest time. I took him a while to get used to getting his hands dirty, but after his first paycheck he decided, that it’s worth it.

We also got visited by the king again, who brought us a new instrument, a traditional Japanese bass drum. Noda tried his luck playing it, but didn’t look all too happy doing so, so he gave it to Brad, who really seems to like it and handed his trumpet over to Mark. They had an awesome practice session and decided to not give up, but blow those judges away, next time they face them.

Those are my boys! 😎

And even without a record deal, they already had roughly 35,000 fans, and that should count something, too, right? ^^

So the guys practiced and practiced, until suddenly they got a letter from their old teacher, that said he had a little surprise for them. Of course at first they were sceptical, because that guy just left them, after they got rejected, but they decided to give him another chance nontheless and followed his invitation, and guess what?

He organized another casting for them!

So they faced the judges again and… *drum roll* had their Pro Debut! ^______________^
They got an own manager and a paycheck over 10,000gp! And their first album made it straight to #6 in the charts, gaining them over 76,000,000 fans! To say I’m proud would be an understatement :3
(They also gained some haters, though - Noda got his first “poop mail” :/)
For a while everything seemed perfect, and the guys - instead of working harder to get to #1 - just relaxed and partied and enjoyed the fame.

Until their first big concert.
Which was a rock show and a complete disaster!
They barely sold any tickets at all D:
I guess that was, what the guys needed, though, to get back on track, move their little bottoms into the studio, practice harder, and write new and better songs.
Their second gig - this time they tried a more classical approach, interpreting Mozart’s Rondo alla Turca - went a whole lot better, although they had smaller audience there.
Gig number three was in front of a bigger crowd again - same venue size as the first gig, but this time almost sold out :3

They still have a long way to go, though… *nods thoughtfully*

When Noda-chan went to bed after this long and eventful day, his stats looked like this:
2 yr, 30 lb
hungry ❤❤❤❤
happy ❤❤❤❤
stress: 00
tone: 999
rhythm: 980
original: 965
genre: Rock'n'Roll
star ranking: 4th
tama fans: 245,889,333 (makes one wonder about the population on the Tama planet, doesn’t it? o_O’)

(Btw, sometimes, when I praise him, he plays a little melody instead of making his usual “happy” sound. Does this have a special meaning? o_o)

Meanwhile, Joe spent a nice last day with his son (whom I’ll call Hiiro (after Hiiro Yui from the anime Mobile Suit Gundam Wing)), visiting lots of interesting places with their UFO and making sure, the little guy has everything he needs after his daddy’s departure :)

Here are Joe’s stats, right before he left his kiddo under my custody:
