Random Thoughts 4/10/09

• Well, that makes things easier. According to the news, Tyrone Appleton and Quintrell Thomas have asked for a transfer out of Kansas. Appleton was a guard buried deep on the bench and Thomas played behind the Morris twins and incoming star Thomas Robinson. Now Kansas has a scholarship to spare, even if both Collins and Aldrich stay, paving the way for Xavier Henry to transfer to KU.
• We watched Parks and Recreation tonight, the non-spinoff created in the same vein as The Office. It was okay and we like Amy Poehler, but it's hard to judge a show based on its first (few) episodes.
• I've been geeking out on basketball and volleyball lately, but I'm really longing for football season. Just four or five months to go.
• Speaking of volleyball, I thought I'd go buy one, intending to spend $10 or $15. Come to find out, a decent Tachikara, Molten, or Mikasa volleyball runs between $40 and $60 per ball, with nicer ones coming in at $80, $100, or higher. For a volleyball. Seriously. Let's just say I'm still shopping around.
• Easter is this Sunday and we're realizing that it's becoming harder and harder to hide Easter eggs for this many grandkids.
