It's been years since my Bible Bowl days, but the first thing I thought when I saw this was that it's a pretty good summary of the God I was taught about as a kid in Lutheran church. I'm not exactly religious anymore, but I have all positive memories and a really huge respect for the church I was raised in.

Since these days I generally commune on Sunday mornings over mimosas and waffles instead of wine and wafers, I'll take my gospel anywhere I can get it.

Elle: "Do you think you can keep all this [writing, acting, stand-up, rapping] up?"

Donald Glover: "It's the same as asking, Do you think you'll live forever? No. But I'm going to try! Also, I'm working on a device that will make me live forever."

Just discovered Donald Glover in the October issue of Elle Magazine and kind of love what I've found.

"I've def been thinking of you though Colleen -- I told my boss he needed to put down the bottle the other day."

At first blush I was a tad offended-- I thought my friend was saying that his boss' alcohol problem reminded him of me! But I then realized he was referring to the fact that "put down the bottle" is a phrase I use frequently when someone (sober or not) says or does something goofy.

Either way, I suppose, it's nice to be remembered for something!

"Can you spare some change, miss? So I can get a Kombucha?"

The worst part is, I could kind of relate to his desperation. GT Dave's stuff doesn't exactly come cheap.
