Chapter 3

Day 9

Kolyat spent all freaking day today looking through the telescope. Too bad he didn't see anything of use. Grunt was in the bath off and on all day, again. He told me that he didn't like being dirty in a human body. Krogan on the other hand, not such a big deal. "Humans smell so bad," he said. "It's gross."

I took a few minutes to meet the maid-person today. He's very interesting, but kinda jumpy. Worries me just a little.

Garrus approached me today, needing someone to talk to. His co-workers don't like him very much. He got a job working with a band while learning how to play the guitar, and they constantly make fun of him because he doesn't know much about music yet and is blue. He's also very clumsy because he's not used to his hands being "all humany," he said. He's still learning how to use his new hands.

His co-workers put tapioca pudding in his guitar the other day, and he asked if it was okay to take money out of the house funds to get a new one. Of course, I said yes, knowing full well he would replace the money as soon as he made it. He went to work tonight not knowing his boss was going to promote him.

Day 10

Garrus won $10,000 in the lottery today. He's so happy that he can contribute to the household funds, especially since the tapioca guitar incident...

Tali fell asleep at the computer. She was working overtime, trying to get some extra stuff done so she could meet her new boss at work. Poor Tali.

I accidentally scared Kolyat. He's mad at me. He doesn't see it as "accidental." Oh well, he will later, or no "massages" for him for a while.

Garrus put in a pool in the backyard. In-ground. It's beautiful. White walls and a blue engraving in the bottom. He also thought it would be a great idea to upgrade and redecorate. He put in new wood and carpets shaped in puzzle pieces all over the house. I love it. And the yard penguins so cute. What we all don't like is the palm tree-shaped floor lamps in every room. Multiples of them. In EVERY room...

We all decided to take a few random classes today. Yay for knowledge.

Day 15

Kolyat wanted to take a class in plumbing, and took Melody with him. He loves her so much. He hates being away from her for too long.

Grunt stole a painting from work. Klepto Krogan.

Garrus went out on a limb a bought a huge, HUGE water fountian and installed it in the living room, next to the TV. What a great idea.

Day 20

The mail man kicked our pengiuns. Grunt was pissed. "Don't mess with our stuff, uselss HUMAN!" Too bad, he's human, too, now.

We all got into a huge argument about the baby. We sat down and scheduled time to spend with her because they 'boys' were fighting over who got to play with her next.

Day 21

We all worked together and made some improvements on the house today, expanding and adding rooms, since we all had the weekend off. It was hard work, but totally worth it. It brought up our house's worth almost double, our insurance agent told us.

Oh, and Garrus apparently sings in the shower. At least he can carry a tune.
