At 2:58 pm today I decided to dust off my Tamagotchi's and give it another try. It has been over two years since I took care of a Tama, but I had been itching to play with it since I saw some in the store a few days ago. I took out my old black and pink Tamagotchi Connection v3, put in a brand new battery, and hit reset. The cute little egg began pulsating just like I remembered and I became a little nostalgic. I still have my green snakeskin Tamagotchi Connection v3 and another battery, but I have not yet decided if I should start a second one. I suppose I will make a decision regarding that over the next few days.

Since then:

2:59pm - hatched into a boy Teletchi. Named him Oscar. Fed 4 scones and played 1 game of Get. Full hearts.
3:10pm - poopie and sickness.
3:15pm - paused Oscar to go to the store. I remembered how demanding they were as babies and didn't want to walk into end caps or shopping carts while I tried to play games.
6:40pm - unpaused Oscar. 4 hungry hearts but only 2 happy hearts. Played Get.
6:42pm - Oscar goes to sleep. Turn lights out.
6:54pm - Oscar wakes up, poops, and throws a hissy fit. I give him a time out and all is well. Full hearts.
7:03pm - Oscar poops again! What a pooping machine. He had 2 hungry hearts and 2 happy hearts. Gave 2 scones and played a game of get. Full hearts again!
7:14pm - Evolved into a Mizutamatchi. 2 hungry hearts. Gave 2 scones. Full hearts.
7:59pm - Oscar goes to sleep. Lights out.

I have decided to run only the one Tama for now. With work and school two is too much. I also don’t want to run two v3 at the same time. I am thinking if I decide to run a second one in the future I will purchase a different version.

So it turns out I made a slight error with my Tama. I confused when to praise and when to give it time out, and therefore spent the first half of the day doing them backwards. I am pretty sure this is going to have a rather negative affect on the next transformation.

Today’s schedule went as follows:

8:13am - Paused Oscar. Rolled over and went back to sleep.
10:30am - Unpaused Oscar. He only had 2 hungry hearts and 3 happy hearts full. Fed 2 scones. Tried to play game but he refused. Fed 2 snacks. Full hearts.
11:23am - Cleaned some poopie and gave him a scone.
12:18pm - Decided to check on Oscar. He only had 3 hungry and 3 happy hearts filled so I gave him a scone and played a game of Get.
1:00pm - I decided to drive over to the library and to bring the Tamagotchi with me. I put him snugly into my purse and left.
1:04pm - I stopped at a red light and decided to check on Oscar. He had poopied so I cleaned it up and gave him a scone. The light turned green and the cars behind me honked because I did not start moving fast enough for them.
1:19pm - After leaving the library I checked on Oscar again. He only had 3 happy hearts so I played a game of Get while still in the parking lot. Full hearts again! I went home.
1:51pm - Oscar only had 3 hungry hearts full so I gave him a scone. Full hearts!
2:51pm - Cleaned poopie and fed scone.
3:00pm - Paused Tama so I could get ready for class. After much deliberation I chose to leave it at home so as not to risk the professor getting angry while she was lecturing.
7:24pm - Unpaused the Tama when I got home. Oscar only had 3 happy hearts so I played a game of Get with him. Full hearts again! I tried playing Bump, but I am apparently terrible at it.
8:04pm - Noticed Oscar had fallen asleep. Unfortunately he only had 3 hungry hearts full. Lights out.

I would like to start off today’s entry by letting everyone know that I won a Tamagotchi Connection v4.5 Asian Invasion on eBay. I am so excited. I can’t wait for it to arrive! I suppose I will have to find a way to distinguish between the v3 and the v4.5 in the log. I also hope that running two at one time will not be too much for me to handle.

7:40am - Oscar was still asleep, but I paused the Tama anyway so that I could go to work.
12:30pm - Unpaused the Tama. Gave Oscar a scone.
12:35pm - Heard the happy sounds announcing the Tama was changing. Oscar became a Patapatachi. He also called for attention even though he had full hearts. I gave him a time out. He stopped calling for attention, but he still has 0 training points. Does anyone know why this is? Was I supposed to praise him? It doesn’t seem right that I would have to praise him for asking for attention when he doesn’t require any.
1:30pm - Paused the Tama again. Lunch hour was over.
5:05pm - I unpaused the Tama when I left work. I probably should have waited until I was home, but I was impatient.
5:24pm - Oscar poopied and had only 3 happy and 3 hungry hearts. I gave him a scone and an ice cream cone. Since I was still driving I felt playing a game would have been a little too dangerous.
6:26pm - I decided to check on Oscar and discovered he only had 3 hungry and 3 happy hearts filled. I gave him a scone and played a game. Full hearts!
8:00pm - Oscar goes to sleep. Lights out!

Nothing terribly exciting happened today, but I didn't have to go to work or school so I was able to write out a somewhat detailed log.

8:26am - Checked the Tama. Oscar was still asleep.
9:38am - Oscar had woken up. Paused the Tama so I could go back to sleep.
10:35am - Unpaused Oscar. Only 3 hungry and 3 happy hearts full. Decided to vary it a little so I fed him a sushi and played Flag. Made it through 9 rounds. Full hearts!
11:35am - Noticed Oscar had poopied and that he only had 3 hungry and 3 happy hearts full. Cleaned poopie. Fed a scone. Tried playing Get but he refused. Fed pudding instead. Full hearts!
12:29pm - Oscar called for attention. He had his back to me. I praised him and he received his first training point. About time!
12:55pm - Checked on Oscar. 3 hungry hearts and 4 happy hearts. Gave him a scone. Full once again.
1:42pm - Oscar only had 3 happy hearts. Played a game of Flag. Made it to round 7.
2:00pm - Cleaned up poopie and fed a scone.

At this point I went to the store and then came home with a terrible headache. I have really bad allergies and during the spring they seem to always work overtime trying to make me misserible. I periodically checked on Oscar, cleaning poopie, feeding him, and playing games, but I did not log the exact time each thing occurred.

Great start with the logs there CuteCognizant. I'm enjoying reading them Can't wait to see your V3 go through it's first generation in this log you created Yay Oscar!

Since May 7 and May 8 were so uneventful I decided to put them together.

These two days were so uneventful mainly because I was so busy with my non-Tama life. I worked on Thursday and Friday from 8am-5pm and then did yard work from 6pm-8pm. I left Oscar unpaused the entire time and took care of him whenever he required it, but I was unable to log down the exact times each thing occurred.

I did start to wonder if I should continue documenting everything by mentioning the exact time and what I fed/played/disciplined or if I should just write it out in paragraph form like I am doing now. I guess I will try a little of both over the next week or so and see which way I prefer to write it.

The v4.5 I won on eBay has been shipped but has not yet arrived. Once I receive it I will begin documenting a second Tama. I spent the entire day debating whether or not I should start my v3 Green Snakeskin Tama. Now that Oscar the Pyonkotchi is an adult I have more free time on my hands and wouldn’t mind hatching a second Tama. The problem is that once the v4.5 arrives I know I want to hatch that one and caring for three will just be too much.

I am becoming a little lax in my care of Oscar now that he is an adult. I don’t check him every 30 minutes like I had been. Pretty much just once every hour or two, especially since it seems he doesn’t require nearly as much attention anymore.

9:00am - Oscar awoke and turned into a Pyonkotchi.
10:20am - Cleaned poopie and fed a scone.
12:00pm - Fed Scone and Cone.
1:33pm - Oscar had gone poopie and only had 3 hungry hearts filled so I cleaned the mess and fed him a scone.
2:45pm - He only had 3 happy hearts full so I played a game of Get.
3:25pm - Noticed Oscar the Pyonkotchi only had 3 hungry hearts filled. I decided to mix it up a little and gave him some bread.
3:33pm - I picked the Tama up for no real reason, but once I looked at the screen I was really glad I had. Oscar was bobbing around singing a song for me. There was even a cute music note in the top right corner. I kinda wish I could hear what he was singing.
4:00pm-6:00pm - I went shopping and then decided to do some yard work. I took Oscar with me. During this time he went poopie once and needed to be fed once.
6:31pm - Fed scone.
7:40pm - Decided to check on Oscar the Pyonkotchi one last time before bed. He was brushing his teeth and it was absolutely adorable!
8:03pm - I was going to turn the lights out and noticed that Oscar had not gone to sleep. He had poopied though, so I cleaned his mess and fed him some sushi. Full hearts!
8:30pm - I left my house to go to the movies and felt no need to leave Oscar home on pause. The movie would not be starting until 10pm and I was certain he would be asleep by 9pm.
9:00pm - As expected, Oscar fell asleep. Lights out!

I was a rather bad Tama Mama today. For starters, I slept until noon but didn’t pause Oscar. By the time I awoke he was very unhappy and very hungry. I filled him up with scones and played a few games of Get.

Seeing as how I am not in work or school today I would normally begin making my detailed log at this point, but I did not. I am having a terrible allergy attack. I can only breath if my mouth is open and my eyes won’t stop tearing. I spent most of the day laying in bed listening to the television because I couldn’t even look at it. I did not pause Oscar the Pyonkotchi even though I was feeling pretty under the weather. I lay with him and played with him periodically though not as much as I would have liked. I am hoping that he can forgive me.

After posting the first half of this log I decided to start the v3 Green Snake Tama anyway. I was feeling so terrible that I wanted more Tama friends to make me feel better. Having more than one v3 Tama may get confusing, but I will try my best to make it as little confusing as possible. First off, I decided that for the v3 Green Snake Tama I will not be accepting the matchmaker when she eventually arrives. Instead, my goal with this second Tama will be to see how old I can get him before he leaves to return to the Tama home in the sky.

The green snake Tama hatched into a Teletchi (boy). I named him Toby. I thought Toby the Teletchi had a nice ring to it. He was just as demanding as Oscar had been when he was first hatched way back on May 3, 2009, and it made me very happy. With Oscar not needing as much attention as he had needed when he was younger I was thrilled to finally have a Tama who needed my constant care once again. Toby the Teletchi eventually changed into Toby the Tamatchi. I am sure you can imagine how excited I was at this. Toby the Tamatchi also had a nice ring to it!

My v4.5 still hasn’t arrived. I am growing more anxious every day and am beginning to fear I may just buy the first Tama I see in a store if my new one doesn’t arrive soon.

I sleep with my Tamagotchi on my bed beside my pillow. This way if I sleep late and they require my attention I will hear them beep. There is nothing like the sound of a Tama calling for attention at eight in the morning. Well a little after 8am this morning Toby the Tamatchi did call for attention, but I was so tired. I paused both Tamas and went back to sleep. A little after 9am one of my dogs woke me up (I have two). So I let her in the yard and unpaused both Tamas. Oscar the Pyonkotchi was perfectly fine with full hearts. Toby the Tamatchi had full hearts as well, but he was asking for attention! I put him in time out and he received his first training point. It seems I finally got this training stuff down now.

A little after 11am I picked up Toby the Tamatchi with the intention of checking his hearts and noticed he was rolling across the bottom of the screen like a little ball. It was so adorable that I couldn’t bring myself to disturb him and in the end did not check his hearts until he was done. Luckily they were all still full.

A little before 4pm I decided to go to the mall. On the way out of the house I stopped to check the mail and there was my new v4.5! I was so excited I ripped the bubble envelope it was packed in open as I walked to the car. I haven’t actually opened the Tama yet and I probably won’t until one of the v3 passes away or the battery dies. I just can’t see myself taking care of 3 Tamas at one time right now. So, after all the anticipation and complaining I am not even opening the v4.5 yet.

On my way home from the mall, at 6:17pm, Toby the Tamatchi changed into Toby the Young Mametchi. The Young Mametchi is terribly cute, definitely cuter than Oscar the Patapatachi had been at this stage. I do fear him turning into a Mametchi though because I find Mametchi to be quite ugly.

On a totally unrelated note, I decided that I want to try and get one of every version of Tamagotchi starting from v3. Why starting from v3 you may ask? Well, in 2006 when the v3 came out was when I started getting into Tamas for the second time. (The late 1990’s was the first time and 2009 is currently the third.) But, unlike the Tama I owned in 1997-1998, I kept my v3. I already have two v3 and a v4.5, so I need to acquire a v4, v5, and v6, all of which are terribly expensive on eBay. As much as I enjoy playing with my Tamagotchi, I just can’t see myself spending $29.95 + $8.00 S&H for a v4.

For anyone wondering, I am still having my allergy attack and the Zyrtec just isn’t working. I am still congested and my eyes are still tearing. So, I will probably go to sleep at 9pm with Oscar the Pyonkotchi.

I work tomorrow from 8am-5pm, so unless something exceptional happens with the Tamas I probably won’t make another entry until Wednesday night.

So much for not posting a log today. *Sigh* When I went to bed last night I really had no intention of posting an entry today, but then quite a few things happened today and I realized that I just *had* to post an entry… so here it is.

First of all, I worked today, but luckily the schedule I have in work enables me to take care of my Tamas. Work starts at 8am, the time *most* Tamagotchi wake up, so I have the clock set three minutes fast. I fill up the Tamas hearts and then go in to work. I take a break from 10:00am to 10:10am, at which time I feed and play with the Tamas. From 12:30pm to 1:30pm I have lunch. You guessed it, the Tamas eat with me. From 3:30pm-3:40pm I have another break. Then I leave at 5:00pm, checking the Tamas before I drive away. So the Tamas are never left for more than 2 ½ hours, meaning they do not have to be paused because they don’t run out of hearts. I just have to make sure I remember to turn the sound off.

Well, when I took my 3:30pm break I saw that the matchmaker had come to Oscar the Pyonkotchi! Oscar is only 7 years old. I was in complete and utter shock. I stared at the screen for a full minute. Now, I may be wrong, but I remember that way back in the day Tamas usually passed away around 20 years old. I was expecting to have Oscar for about two weeks before I had to say goodbye. I supposed I could have told the matchmaker no, but I couldn’t remember whether or not she would come back again, and I couldn’t look it up online because I was in work. So I said yes. Oscar is currently sleeping with his cute little baby Teletchi girl.

After work I went out to dinner. I, of course, took the Tamas with me. Before eating I made sure to feed and play with the Tamas so their hearts would be full. I put them down and ordered and ate. Then I heard the familiar attention sound when someone goes to sleep. Toby the Young Mametchi had gone to sleep and he only had 3 happy hearts filled! How did this happen? I had checked him and played with him less then 15 minutes earlier and he was full. I was so unbelievably angry. That is the first time either of them has gone to bed without full hearts and I am not happy about it.

I placed two bids on eBay today. One on a v4 Tamagotchi Connection and one on an Original Japanese version Tamagotchi from 1997 that is still sealed. I don’t know if I will win either of them, but both auctions end tomorrow so I can give an update on that the next time I post an entry.

I took a terribly cute picture of Oscar the Pyonkotchi today. I figured it might be my last chance seeing as how he will be leaving soon. I will definitely miss him. He was the first Tama I hatched in over two years.

I am having trouble getting the picture to work in the log, so here is a link to it: http://cutecognizant.bravehost.com/v3singing.jpg
Apparently remote linking of images isn't allowed, so just copy and paste it until I figure out what I am doing wrong.  Thanks.

Til later…
