Electronic pets are stupid. Arielle got a Meow-Chi for Christmas from one of her mom's friends. Good Lord the thing is amazingly annoying. Last night I got the thing working for them. Had it singing and this and that. The thing's got bio-rhythms for godsakes. Hello? I know humans with less emotion than that. Her mom hates it and thinks her friend should have bught the child clothes or something. I totally agree. Plus it's for 4 yrs andup. Ari's 2 1/2.

I've been learning to play Poker. Somehow some of the rules are different. Jus. Apparently it goes like this : Royal Flush, Straight Flush, 4 of a Kind, Full House, Flush, Straight, 3 of a Kind, 2 pair, 1 pair, high card. So they say. I have to start playing chess soon. Why? It might just be necesary for an upcoming project. Don't ask. Top seekrit.
