Today I headed in to Strangetown to play the Ramaswami family.  Sanjay works in the music career as a Summer Camp Music Teacher and Priya works in the journalism career as a Fact Checker.  They are childless, but they do have a dog named Jessie.

Sanjay taught Jessie to speak on Friday morning before he and Priya headed off to work.  Priya was promoted to Obituary Writer.  She called her next door neighbour, Vamsi Gieke for a chat in the hopes of getting to know her better.  Sanjay gave Jessie a bath after work and then headed to bed early as he was exhausted after a long day of work.  Priya invited Vamsi over to hang out and they became friends.
Saturday was Sanjay's day off so he threw a house party.  He spent some time with Priya watching a dvd.  Priya invited Vamsi over to hang out again before work.  Sanjay's party was a complete disaster due to Nervous Subject repeatedly poking Vamsi and causing her to spend half the party in the bathroom sobbing uncontrollably.  Sanjay wasn't satisfied with the party, so he called a different bunch of people and threw another.  When Priya got home from work she invited Vamsi over to join the party.  Vamsi and townie Neil Chalmers spent the entire party flirting and became crushes.  Sanjay purchased a hot tub for the backyard and the party was a success.
In the early hours of Sunday morning the Ramaswami house was invaded by a burglar who stole both their car and their television set.  He was caught by the police and the family was reimbursed, but they were still both pretty bummed.  As soon as Sanjay was up, he bought a new car to replace the stolen one then washed Jessie.  It was his day off again and he spent much of the morning drinking at his bar.  Priya invited Vamsi over to hang out before work yet again.  Sanjay threw a house party and made friends with a townie named Celeste Kimbrell.  The party scored as a roof raiser.  He invited Celeste to come back over afterwards as he wanted to spend more time with her.  Priya invited Vamsi back over after work also.  Priya and Sanjay retired to bed early to try for a baby (and apparantly it was their very first woohoo - my bad!).  They were successful - Priya is pregnant with their first child (and what will probably be their only child, they have only 10 days until elderhood.

Afterwards, I didn't range very far.  I went next door to play the Gieke family.

On Saturday, Cheva sat down with her mother's cookbooks and gained a cooking point.  Vamsi called her boyfriend Nicholas Davidson for a chat, then decided it wasn't enough just to talk on the phone and invited him over to spend the day with her.  Bonkers grew in to an elderly kitty.  Cheva was in bed by 2pm due to exhaustion from her all-nighter.  Vamsi called Bonker's work and arranged for him to retire from his job as a Rescue Pet, earning him a tidy pension of $136 a day.  She also purchased a tent for the backyard.  When Cheva awoke, she decided college wasn't really for her and grew up well in to an adult.  Her boyfriend Alec Hiatt aged up along with her.  Chester's ghost was roaming around and scared poor Cheva twice.

Cheva headed off on a night hike and was followed home by a skunk.
Sunday morning saw Cheva hit her mother's cookbooks again and gain two cooking points.  Vamsi invited Nicholas over to spend the day together yet again.  That night, Lainey and Chester's ghosts decided it was time for a terrible rampage.  I think they made just about every guest lose control of their bladders.

Vamsi did some studying too and gained a mechanical point.  She harvested some mouthwatering tomatoes from her tomato plant, which she put on the burgers she made for dinner.  She was scared by Chester and lost control of her bladder.  The same thing happened to Cheva not ten minutes later.  Vamsi wasn't tired at all so she decided to pull an all-nighter.
In the early hours of Monday morning Vamsi planted a new crop in her garden - cucumbers this time.  She managed to break the bath and called the repairman to come during business hours.  She painted a couple of lovely pictures (one of them was of Cheva all grown up) and gained a creativity point.  Cheva served omelettes for breakfast and then settled down with the cookbooks once more to gain two cooking points.  She's now maximized the cooking skill.  Like mother, like daughter.  She also reached maximum enthusiasm in cuisine.  All her painting gained Vamsi membership to My Muse II - Art Studio.  Monday night was blessedly free of ghost activity.
On Tuesday morning Vamsi spent some more time painting and gained a creativity point.  Cheva played bass and gained three creativity points - autumn is definitely upon the Gieke family!  Afterwards, Cheva harvested some mouthwatering lemons which she used for her lunch of chef salad.  Afterwards she practiced painting and gained two more creativity points.  A random walkby townie clogged the toilet, so Cheva called the repairman to come the following day.  Chester's ghost wandered the lot that night.  Vamsi roasted a turkey for dinner and Chester scared Cheva so badly she wet herself.  It's becoming a habit.
Vamsi spent the early hours of Wednesday morning playing bass and maximized the creativity skill.  Cheva painted some more when she woke and gained two more creativity points.  Vamsi spent the afternoon poring over her cookbooks to gain some more cuisine enthusiasm.  Cheva gained membership to My Muse II - Art Studio.  Wednesday night was another blessed ghost-free evening.
Thursday started early with Vamsi awaking just after midnight and serving a midnight snack of gelatin.  She spent the wee hours poring over her cookbooks again and reached maximum enthusiasm in cuisine.  When Cheva got up she browsed the newspaper and found her dream job in the athletic career.  She immediately took it and was to start the next day.  She purchased a drum kit and promptly ignored it thereafter.  She headed to the family's long disused exercise machine to work out for a much needed body point (and was afflicted with the body skill superfast gaining bug!  She was maximized before I even realized!  I freakin' hate that!  Gaaahhhh!)  Afterwards, she painted a lovely picture of Vamsi and gained a creativity point.  Vamsi drove over to Sue's Secret Kitchen to enter her crepes suzette in the cooking contest.  The judge was unimpressed.  She went home very depressed over her loss and called Nicholas to come over for some chaste slow dancing.  She traded in her old stove for a much nicer orange one and then drove downtown to buy herself an mp3 player.  Then it was back to Sue's Secret Kitchen to try the cooking contest again.  She made the same dish and won this time around.  She headed home for some more slow dancing with Nicholas.  She gained herself membership to My Muse - Music & Dance Studio before heading to bed.  Cheva was once again scared by Chester's ghost.  She's cursed, I swear it!
