Bob Dylan to be the voice of car GPS systems? →

thielks:
“I am talking to a couple of car companies about being the voice of their GPS system. I think it would be good if you are looking for directions and hear my voice saying something like: “Left at the next street, no a right - you know what? Just go straight.” I probably shouldn’t do it because whichever way I go I always end up at one place: Lonely Avenue.” -Bob...

The horizon for today:
- first shower in 5 days (yes, I said it)
- cake and Diet Coke for breakfast (huh?)
- to the div school library for some thesis writing
- study break for chipotle and 50 cent dunkin donuts iced coffee
- back to the library for more thesis writing
- study break for free ben and jerry’s cone
- probably more writing.
Days of writing are terrible, but the amount of sugar and caffeine...
A word or two about theological discussion...
I don’t know how many of my readers have ever engaged in theological debate/discussion but it is often enough to make me want to pull my hair out. I used to try with all the arguments I could muster to prove why I was correct regarding whatever topic was up for debate, but I’ve now learned this to be a pointless endeavor. Usually, no one will listen to what you have to say, etc. It...

Loss Leaves Coach K with Questions. Div...
depressio:
A Depressio reporter uncovered a letter sent by a group of Div school students to Duke men’s basketball coach, Mike Kryzes…Krzysek….damn it…Coach K. A Depressio exclusive, here is the letter reprinted in full.
To the Most Eminent Coach K,
We grad students at the Divinity school love you. We camp out because of you (forced to play beer pong and dance licentiously), we paint our...

someone tell me what to do for lent. i am at a loss.
i really love this team of mine
being a duke fan is one of the best feelings in the world. waiting for 4 hours in the cold with a small hope of being let into a good game, getting in, and then seeing an epic performance is pretty much all you can ask for. <3

due to duke basketball, i think i am becoming depressed. this probably means that i am too attached to duke basketball. it also means that i wish i could somehow be channeled into coach k’s body so i could yell my head off at duke basketball players. i think that is the only thing that would offer me comfort at the moment.

a rant
Oh, Adam, I can SO relate to this. Grad school is full of people who love to hear themselves talk and at the same time think they are so brilliant. So, about 50% of class time is taken up with people asking questions that aren’t really questions but just excuses for people to try and get other people to notice how smart they are. Eeeek!
All that to say - I’m sorry you have such a...
