Bad news: The biggest grant proposal I've ever submitted--327 pages with a $975,000 ask--was just turned down. We made a very strong case, and the foundation reps came down for two--count 'em, two--site visits. I've been on pins and needles for the past month awaiting the decision. It came today while I was at lunch.
Good news: I just conceived the most fabulous drag number in the known universe. I've been hearing this song from this album twice a day, every day, for the past month. Suddenly, as I was driving back from picking up glossies from the worst photo shoot ever, an image fell into place. Now all I need are two kimonos, one large inner tube, five overripe watermelons, and a very large dropcloth. Oh, and a place to perform it.
Amazing how little it takes to cheer me up.
