77 Satellites

Round 26: Autumn 2024
Narrated by Nick Moretti

The dorm was getting too crowded and Maia and I didn't want to move to yet another dorm, so instead, we thought we'd give private housing a shot. The house is tiny but it's big enough for us.

At the beginning of this year, I was finally able to get an internship at the hospital. I was so excited to finally be working in the field I actually studied for!

Revolutionary kind

(Tessa Novak is 14, Dominic Lachance is 13 and Julia Gray is 12)

Lately, I've been helping Grandpa out in his vegetable garden. He always wanted us to, but I never really took an interest in it until this summer.

Monster hospital

Round 25: Spring 2021
Filippo Moretti is 66, Emil Collins is 49, Anna is 43, Nathan is 11 and Hope is 10.
(Arianna Weaver is 66, Nick Moretti is 18)

Anna is never quite sure what to do when people are blubbering. She could comfort them but it feels so insincere when she does it. Even when her own sister was going through her separation, she was always at a loss for what to say.

Narrated by Evan Moretti

It's unbelievable how much things have changed for us in less than a year. This time last year, Ione and I were in the middle of wedding preparations and now, we're married with twin sons.

Do you realize???

Round 23: Winter 2017
last update/next update

Maria Moretti is 74, Filippo is 62, Emil Collins is 45, Anna is 39, Nathan is 7 and Hope is 6.
(Caleb is 35, Cara is 28 and Betsy Carmody is 46)


Hope really likes the new house, and having her very own bedroom in the new house. Her parents even let her pick out most of the furniture and decorations for it, so it's very much her room. But she's missing sharing a room with her older brother Nathan. Just a little bit.

Way over yonder in the minor key

Narrated by Anna Collins

Emil and I won $4000 in the lottery recently and we put it towards installing a pool in the backyard. It's small but it's a good place for me to get away from Maria for half an hour or so. She drives me up the wall.

Spring 2011 birthdays

It's just past 6am and Anna has just slammed the lid onto the rubbish bin when she feels the familiar pangs of contractions.

(David is 29, Kirstin is 27 and Jesse is 26.)


Narrated by Emil Collins

My brother David came over for dinner a couple of weeks ago, with his new wife Kirstin. Mum was thrilled. I think she'd like to have the whole family over at the same time, but we have a pretty huge family and it's not possible very often.

Ocean breathes salty

Maria Moretti is 66, Filippo is 54, Emil Collins is 37 and Anna is 31
(
Mina is 59, Zelda is 34 and Nicholas is 6).

Narrated by Anna Collins

To appease my mother-in-law, I'm still job-hunting, even though I've kind of lost interest in the process. There's nothing out there, for one thing, but I also really like being home all day.

Baby goes to eleven

Round 18: University
(Tatiana, David, Kirstin, Abigail, Caleb)


David, Kirstin and Abigail have just started their junior year and are still living at Moretti Hall. Tatiana is somewhat bored and lonely, being separated from Jonas once again.

David and Tatiana are both working hard to graduate. There are more term papers and assignments and a lot more preparation to do before them.

Wave of mutilation

Round 18: Days 86-90
Last update: Anna/the rest

Narrated by Anna Carmody

When I moved in with Emil, he moved his bed (well, our bed now) into the bedroom vacated by David and Caleb. I insisted on it - no way was I going to sleep in a basement!

Narcolepsy

Narrated by Emil Collins

I can't believe I've been reduced to this. Digging holes in the ground looking for random crap I can sell, just so I can afford the first week's rent and security deposit for an apartment. When did my life start to suck so much?

Hey ya

Round 16: Days 76-80
Narrated by...me!

Caring for two toddlers and two children is not easy. Filippo barely has enough time to put Evan to bed...

Box full of letters

Round 15: Days 71-75

Narrated by Emil Collins

My mum is pregnant. Again. With twins. Again. For most people, three kids and extremely tight finances would be enough but my mother wants five.

Round 15: Days 71-75


Narrated by Simona Moretti

We've had a new influx of students at school this round and a lot of them seem rather feisty.

River, sea, ocean

Right before bed one night, Filippo surprised me by asking me to marry him. I accepted, naturally and I figured that soon after that, we'd actually get married.
