There was the time I had to research the ignition temperature of a fictional mineral... though that wasn't even for my story, I was beta reading. Then I've recently filed a motorcycle ride under "research" (for a specific fic, yeah), and also watching King Lear (for a different fic that has nothing to do with Shakespeare.) To me, pretty much anything can be research.
As to my writing: a thousand words of orig!fic rewritten today. It wants further rewriting, but it's getting there.
(Also found out that I stopped at least two different scenes of the same story in places that make me go AUGH BUT I WANTED TO READ THE REST! o_O)
