Tamagotchi School



I got this a couple weeks ago in the mail from Japan. It's the first version of the Tamagotchi School, I'm looking forward to trying out version 2 as well down the line. It's been overly fun so far, very nice to try out a Tamagotchi with a different concept! I'll edit this post a bit to include more about it when I have more of that ever illusive free time :)



Here is my collection so far. Currently playing with the V2 and V4 :)

Tamagotchi v5 Celebrity


Just got mine in the mail yesterday morning through a seller on ebay. I love it SO much more than the first v5 that was released. The new games are beyond fun and I love that there are 6 now (Tama Fans and Safe Box are definitely my favorites), the point system is wonderful, fresh animations and new characters are very welcome as well.

I truly do wish that they would have done something with the screen resolution, I know that contrast can be adjusted, but my other tamagotchi's never strained my eyes so badly, they were very crisp...contrast adjustment only goes so far and was poorly thought out as on the first v5, I don't need to blatently see background pixels.

Enough complaining, I love it all the same :)

9/4

On my 4th generation! I would have to say this is my favorite tama so far. I've gone through trying to collect all of the items and am not that far away from getting them all. I am having a bit of trouble trying to figure out how to aquire some of the rare items though. I have the tulip from the code that came with my tama on the instruction sheet, and a calendar and dining table from connecting it with my older v5 but that's it :(

I'm currently trying to get the Gotchi King family. No luck so far, but I do know what I need to do to get them. I just haven't had a lot of time (or patience) to get my bonding level to 100%.

Why balloon!!!

I've had a balloon following me all over the house today. Its made me jump and scream more times then I care to count. Its like I turn around and BAM its right there in my face mocking me with its, er, balloon self. I tried explaining to it that its freaking me out, but it seems to be enjoying having me look over my shoulder every 4 seconds with increasing paranoia. I think the pinnacle of it screwing with my head was when it followed me up the stairs and into my bedroom (without me noticing) when I was going to take a nap. I lay down all peaceful and relaxed thinking, "it can't get in here!" then all of a sudden hear a rustle, and see the deranged thing floating in front of my damn bedroom window. Its really no wonder that I couldnt sleep. Right now I have it tied to a Strawberry Shortcake doll. I so entirely win this round.

Shubbabaduba.

In my quest to find the perfect pen, I do believe I have honestly, finally and quite beautifully succeeded. I came across a review this weekend for the Pilot Hi-Tec-C. I love Pilot pens. For so many years now they are the only thing I've gotten enjoyment out of using for both writing and drawing. The ink flows smoothly and my line work was always excessively precise. I always used .5mm though, and that sometimes didn't quite cut it for the detailing I wanted to establish.

Tim ordered me a set on Sunday from jstationary.com, and behold what did I find in the mailbox today but these!



Ah yes, this is the stuff pen addict dreams are made of. I can't get over how flawless they are. The ink doesn't skip a beat, no blotches or slight discrepancies in the flow and the .3 tip gives me all the precision I ever dreamed of. I must have stopped two dozen times today just to sneak one in my hand and make a little scribble on a piece of paper. It is utter enjoyment. I'm in awe. In fact, I'm in SO much awe I feel the need to own all 45+ colors (and several in black). I have a sneaking suspicion that's not going to happen anytime soon though. I seriously need a pen allowance every week.

Tamagotchi v5


I just got mine yesterday! I love it! I've been so anxious for these to finally hit stores. They changed into children last night,going clockwise their names are, Tororotchi (daughter), Belltchi (daughter), and Mousetchi (son).

It's taking me awhile to get used to the screen difference from the other Tamas I have, at least they did add a contrast adjustment which seems to help. Overall I'm really enjoying the differences they have made though. The games are a lot more difficult, then again, maybe I'm just old and have crappy reflexes. It doesn't make sense though...I'm quick as a blink on any FPS I play. :/

*1/27*

Ok, so I've mastered the Tea Party game, but apparently will always suck at the TV Surfing game. I can't play the other two games yet because I don't have parents on my Tama yet. There are a couple things I'm frustrated about. Not being able to name each tama is slightly upsetting, but I can get over that. Mostly it's not being able to see their age and weight. They are still in their child stage, I'm getting kind of anxious for them to move onto their teens. Hopefully they change tomorrow! Things seem to move a lot faster on my other tamas. I still have my 4.5 up and going, so it's tiding me over.

Now that their bond percentage is raised, I can press the C button and Tororotchi will come up close to the screen, it's pretty cute :) I did take quite a few pictures today, but accidentally deleted most of them. If I have time tomorrow I'll try to get some new ones taken. I did manage to save this one of them, that I took right before they went to sleep.

Horrah! When they woke up this morning they were grown into their teenager stages!

Things that make me smile.

Tonight we were all playing, Tim started walking toward Mia and I being really silly. All of a sudden she hurries up and runs to me and wraps her arms around my neck with a hug and says, "Mom-meeee! My mom-eeee. "

That entirely melted my heart it was so sweet. :)

Dreams with words.

I had a couple strange dreams this morning. One I won't go into at all, but the other really got my mind working. I was in a very large historical building with a small group of people. Everyone seemed to be very pretentious, and I acted a complete fool because fun seemed the better option. I absolutely tormented everyone, they had their noses stuck so high in the air and I've never been good at dealing with that. There was a professor there of some sort that pulled me aside at one point, trying to beat it into my head that I was being an idiot. Like that worked out well.

Anyway, the point to all of this is when the professor was busy telling me how I should be behaving I noticed she held a book in her hand. I cut into the words she was babbling by asking to see it. She handed it over to me and I opened the front cover. What I seen hand-written inside made me cry, it was as if someone wanted to share a certain perspective, so that everyone who read the book thereafter would have it to dwell on. When I got to the signature at the bottom I cried even harder because I know the person. It was written three years before I got there. I couldn't get over how I was three years late to see a friend that I will most certainly never see again.

When I woke up I started thinking about where the words I read actually came from. I've never read them before. It bothers me that my mind could subconsciously make up something so profound, where as if I sat down to write it awake...it would never be so beautiful. What's bothering me even more, is that I can't get all of the words back.
