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.
