Weekly spotlight: Pet Society

Meet Yuki

Meet Yuki

Okay, don’t say that I didn’t warn you. Pet Society is highly addictive! As far as I can tell it’s available through Facebook and MySpace. The game play is a bit similar to other role-playing games like Animal Crossing and GoPets. First you can assemble your own pet by picking out it’s ears, eyes, gender and so on. You can always change or enhance these features later on by visiting the stylist.

Like each pet your creature demands a lot, such as food, clothes, a nice interior and some playtime. By playing or racing with your pet and through the “daily lottery” you earn coins which you can spend at one of the shops in town. And of course money also grows on trees, walk past them and see what happens! Part of the inventory will change weekly so you have a reason to go shopaholic Wink

Pet Society wouldn’t be a nice Facebook application if it wasn’t possible to add friends. Befriended pets will live in your neighbourhood so you can visit their homes to play or send gifts & messages. If you would like to join Yuki’s -my pet- society, she’d be more than happy to build you a home Smile Yuki isn’t around much though because her owner is a workaholic Vomit. But feel free to leave a comment -with or without your Facebook name- and I’ll send you an invite.

Migraine misery

It’s that time of the month again. I’m sure you know what I’m talking about Wink This means I’m transforming into a chocolate eating, sentimental, rebellious cleaning monster. If that isn’t bad enough, my body also decides to let me down, resulting in back, neck & shoulder pain and migraines.

The migraine usually starts behind one of my eyes and stays with me for a good three days Sad  Today is day one…  I could already feel the pain coming up this morning so I decided to stay in bed a bit longer. But of course clients already started phoning about e-mail from Friday late afternoon that I hadn’t answered yet. You can imagine that listening to people isn’t the first thing you want to do when your head hurts so I told them -in a nice matter- that there’s such a thing called WEEKEND, and that I also enjoy that privilege *sigh*.  So as they day went on and I answered phonecalls, e-mails and finished assignments the migraine worsened. Luckily my hubby wanted to do the cooking today <3

By that time I had started my creative healing method, because a regular painkiller won’t ease the pain. Don’t try this at home though Razz The remedy is eating lots of food -no matter what- and drinking a caffeine beverage and water, this helps me to reduce the pain. Weird huh?

So right now I’m hyperactive and fat on the inside. But at least I’m not in any pain Grin
