luzula1. Am writing grant application. I hate writing grant applications with the fire of a thousand suns. Possibly this means that I am in the wrong line of work. Anyway, this is for a four-year research grant, and last year, 11% of applicants were awarded grants. *sigh*
2. Big Bang is now at 17,000 words. Hmm, I am wondering what is meant by "rough draft" (as in, the one that's due 7th of April). I'm pretty sure I can get above 20,000 words by that time, but I'm not entirely sure I can get the epilogue worked out to my satisfaction. Is it enough that I'm over 20,000 words, or must it be a complete first draft?
3. I emailed old friends in Seattle to see if I could visit with them when I'm in town for Bitching Party. I was friends with a girl in my class when my family lived in Seattle (I was about ten years old) and I flew over to visit their family a couple of times after we moved back. But we haven't been in contact for years. Anyway, her mom emailed back and called me "her Swedish daughter" and said I could stay with them the whole time if I wanted. I almost got tears in my eyes. &hearts
4. I had my dad and my sister visit over the weekend. \o/
5. I seem to be the only one who likes Firefox's new tab behavior.
