sista: Your phone's ringing. Do you want it? "BLOOD" is calling.
me: No, that's just the blood drive people. They love to call and harass me to come donate, so I programmed them in so I know not to answer.
sista: Oh, I thought it was maybe the name of someone from roller derby.

Dear tumblr,
My two brilliant contributions to the internet from today (namely a quote referencing Wham!, and another by one Ms. Air Force Amy also including a chicken tetrazzini shout out) appear to have been sucked into some sort of abyss.

Three days in, and I’m already deleting one of my to-dos for the year. Sadly, the 365 Project is not happening (at least not one that spans the calendar year).
