🏀 KuBuckets Archive

Feel free to chime in if you want. We could all use a distraction i'm sure!

--Just got the new Jack Reacher book. The books have gone down hill since Lee Child stopped writing them, but i plan on enjoying it nonetheless.

-- Found a really good brownie at Sprouts market for a good price. $2.32. And it was huge! (it's the little things in life sometimes)

-- Oh, and i'm grateful that i just got some roofing work done days before it started raining.

• I put in a new coat rack next to the front door that looks really nice.
• I have a report coming out at work that I'm really excited about.
• There's been some really good shows I've been watching lately. I'm a big history dork, so I thought American Primeval was really good.

@MoonwalkMafia Good to have another history dork! What kind of history? I recently watched a great documentary about the influence of the Danelaw in medieval Britain.

@Jhawk69 I studied Japanese and US history at KU. I basically got a degree in the history of World War 2. But I find pretty much anything from about 1840 on pretty interesting. The older I've gotten, the more I've been interested in political history. I was always into the military history side of WW2, but more recently I've started to enjoy more of what led up to it.

@MoonwalkMafia Did you ever have professor Adrian Lewis?

1) Empty toilet paper rolls

2) Barking neighborhood dogs

3) President Ass-Face

4) People texting and driving

5) My boss

6) Air pollution

7) Friends who ghosted me

8) The U.S. Postal system

9) The morning/ evening News

10) Covid

Not much , but kinda like getting prank phone calls

@SlimShaddy54 she’s purrrity much your

@approxinfinity LOL-- -ya purittttttttyyyyyy much

I'm liking the fact that I got to see my grandkids today so i wasn't able to watch, was gonna watch but accidentally saw the score on a Badger game chat.

@Jhawk69 Yes I did! He was my advisor!

@MoonwalkMafia He was a great professor! He really understood how to pace his lessons and get his students to think and engage with the material.

Anyways, lets talk Japanese history. What do you make of the influence of Japanese immigration on Brazilian society?

@wissox

Watch til half then turn it off for sanity purposes. There isn't a single second of the 2nd half that's going to please you

@Jhawk69 I don't really know a lot about it, but from I could find it's interesting that they imparted a bunch of agricultural techniques since Japan is one of the most inefficient agricultural producers in the world.

I watched until half. Felt optimistic. Had to then go to my kiddo's basketball game. When returning I caught a social media post hating on the Jayhawks so I was warned about watching the second half.

I fast-forwarded through the second half... watching the collapse in fast-forward mode. It helped relieve my anxiety knowing I didn't waste the extra 45 minutes watching it happen at regular speed!

Also, I started watching Resident Alien for some comic relief.

Fun show. Easy on the brain.

I watched the game with my daughter. Five minutes into the second half she looked at me with a sour face and said “Whatever happened to punch them in the face, knock them down and then foot on the neck until it’s over.” Love that kid.

I started watching American Primeval per your endorsement @MoonwalkMafia. Was a big Deadwood fan, this is adjacent

@approxinfinity a whole lot less cursing

@HoraceZontal She must be old enough to remember Roy Williams

@approxinfinity said in Things i like better than KU basketball right now:

Just finished this myself. A good series!

I'm gonna have to check out American Primeval. Always looking for a new show (and of course loved Deadwood). Swearengen, (insert profanity here)!

@nuleafjhawk ha! No, she 16. But that was my mantra for the ultimate teams I captained years ago. She’s heard it a lot.

@HoraceZontal I loved Ol Roy. I hated him for 5 years after he left. But I got over it.

KU bb and fb are my favorite but watching my 3 yr gson playing bb is pretty fun too! When he plays D he takes them all the way to the floor, made a 5 yr old gal go crying to her mom. I've never laughed so hard!
