Holly and the Cube

Holly had some insight into solving the Rubik's Cube today, and it compelled her to buy one of her own (she was playing with Mike's). She was explaining to Heather that it's basically a logic puzzle and involves more planning than simply matching colors. Holly's not usually one for logical or mathematical puzzles (just ask her about sudoku), so it was a bit surprising. I'm so proud. :P

Later we went to the mall in search of a crimson-and-black Nintendo DS. DSes are very hard to find right now, unfortunately for me; I didn't think they'd be such a hot Christmas item, but clearly I was wrong. I've heard that a couple of Gamestops might have a few, but said stores are nowhere near me... :-/
