Happy new year

Well, I just started the year with someone else's vomit in my hair. How's your 2014 going so far?

Working on first draft of DARPA proposal due tomorrow; last night engaged bemusedly in the ceremonial Exchanging of the Bras at a new year's party in my apartment complex (it's happened to me twice already, so I suspect it's some sort of Phoenician female-bonding ritual).

Good luck with the proposal! I am also confused by the Exchanging of the Bras--are they gifts or are you wearing them at the time?

It involves someone insisting that I would look good in her bra, dragging me to the nearest bathroom/bedroom, switching the undergarment of interest with mine, and presenting me to all in attendance for approval.

Yes, it's different out here.

A lot of people out here are very focused on appearance. Occasionally my neighbors view me as a fun makeover project--I used to find it unsettling, but I'm more open to it now, because I think they have good intentions and they seem to be good people at heart.

…at least it's not the exchanging of the panties?

GAH. I would draw the line there...

I drew a picture today! It has mountains and trees and a river!

Also, there is pie.
