project: embarrass wifey


I’m ready for my close-up now, Mr. Fiend

I love this photo, though it’s perhaps a little silly1. I think Alex doesn’t like it much. She’s not a prima donna2, I promise. There was context to this shot: she was getting makeup put on for her role as Lady MacBeth. That’s just how she has to have her face so the makeup person can do her thang.

In other news, our friends Craig and Melinda are likely going North before I get back from Canada. This saddens me greatly. I will miss them.

In other other news, a dream job opened up just last week at University of Waterloo. I’ve applied, and will be very, very fortunate if I get an interview (which I really don’t think is likely; I have a couple of strikes against me). However, if I get the job, then the travel/relocation crisis in our marriage shifts from the necessity of Alex leaving her home to the necessity of me leaving mine. Sigh.

Perversely, compromise doesn’t work in this situation. If we met each other halfway, we’d have to live here. And we’d both have to leave our homes and comfort zones. Nobody wins. Relashunships iz hard.

  1. but also, you must admit, a little awesome! []
  2. in the colloquial sense []
