Intergalactic House of Paisley

Hmmm, TV Guide: "On the History Channel, Jesus sees His Shadow and there's six more weeks of Roman Occupation; This Really Old House, a roundtable discussion of brands of lamb's blood for lintel painting; and on a very Special Gray's Anatomy, the nurses and doctors work desperately to keep a rabbit from dying."

So, off to another thrilling day at work, and a weekend spent watching basketball (Rock Chalk!) and trying to identify the source of the water leak on the second floor (my bet: the shower, so we might have to start using the one downstairs).

The KU basketball team began its season last night with an exhibition tuneup against Pittsburg State. I have always liked the KU policy of playing other state universities for these games, as opposed to the traveling tomato cans like Athletes in Action. It gives the schools a nice payday, and the players the opportunity to experience the wonder of playing in Allen Field House. Are the 'Hawks a title contender. Mai oui. Will they make the final four, much less triumph? If I knew that, I'd be laying a series of bets in Vegas instead of typing this.

The fact that the KU football team is 8-0 and #8 in the polls is simply cromulent. I guess having a coach who could eat you for lunch is a good motivator. Surrealsitic reality of the week: Nebraska is the underdog against KU this Saturday. Quel fromage!
