Drinking Wine with Edith Tonight

Today I got news that a grant I spent all stupid August writing has been funded! The project will give some otherwise unemployable academic types jobs and make a whole bunch of 18th Century French documents accessible to researchers.

For me personally, it means a butt load of work in the upcoming years and that tonight I am going to drink some snobby French wine and listen to Edith Piaf and Mireille Mathieu until I just can't take it anymore.
