My New Neo [Desk] Pet
This is my new desk toy, a pink Aisha NeoPet. She kind of reminds me of a cross between a cat and a dinosaur. With strange antenae. She doesn't have a name yet, but she's certainly cute.
Apparently NeoPets are all the rage among the younger set. If you're the sort that gets sucked into games easily, you probably won't want to click on that link. NeoPets are a virtual pet, not unlike the Tamagotchi that were popular a few years ago. They have to be fed and played with, but the twist is that you have to buy food and playthings for them using NeoPoints you earn on the Web site by playing games and going on quests. Trust me when I say it's addictive. Jon is already hooked.
We're lucky enough to have a relationship with them at work which means occasional perks, like adorable little plushies to sit on our desks. And to think, I was going to rush out and buy one on ebay. Maybe I will if I can find one that actually looks like my NeoPet, a friendly green Xweetok.
