I got Arini and Mosi to mate on the bus yesterday, on my way to to choir rehearsal. ^_^ They had baby girls. It was a lot of fun to connect them on the bus. Normally I hide my Tamagotchis while I'm on the bus, because I'm kind of afraid of other bus riders' unpredictable behaviour. But this time, it was Purple Tama and my V4, so I wasn't as afraid as if it were Pink Tama. It was nice to play with Tamagotchis so brazenly in public.

I spent the night at my friend Angelo's. We had another all-night gaming party. We beat Splinter Cell: Double Agent for the Wii. It was a lotttt of fun. I only took Arini and Mosi along, and they went to bed pretty early. I paused them at night because I knew we were going to sleep in really late the next day.

Today is July 1! Happy Canada Day, everyone! July 1 is also my dad's birthday, so we went to the revolving restaurant at the top of the CN Tower to celebrate. I can hear fireworks outside my window even now.

July 1 also marks the conclusion of Matchmakerless Month. Not a day too soon, really, because I was getting EXHAUSTED having four Tamas all the time. I am definitely going to enjoy July as a more minimalist Tama month, so that I can enjoy each of them better instead of feeling totally hassled and harried. Right now, I only have my Zukitchi on TDT at my side. His neediness is starting to pick up, but he feels so good in my hand. And he's a Zukitchi. ^_^ I love Zukitchis.

Matchmakerless Month has, on the other hand, shown me how much more fun it is to mate Tamas rather than just to use the Matchmaker all the time. I think I have healthier and stronger babies this way too. I'm going to try to use the Matchmaker as little as possible from now on. I'm no longer racing against time to get to 99 generations, so I can take my time raising mates one at a time for each Tama. When someone reaches fertility, I can feel free to pause him or her for a few days while I unpause and raise a mate for him or her.

My Zukitchi just asked for a discipline, cute little guy. ^_^ I think TDT is a little bit too mean for a name. I shall re-name him Squeak Tama. Because he's not really tone deaf, just squeaky. Awww. Squeak Tama.
