Zombielicious

How dare I be so behind on my blogging! Not even sure what my excuses are - not counting the days that I work, which includes the past 3 days. I have been keeping up with these two beautiful blogs, by a couple other girls you may know: Pinterest Princess (cousin Jessica) & Something That We Do (friend Lindsey). 

On Wednesday of last week, I mentioned that I wanted Michael to let me put a prosthetic on him. I said I wanted to do all the work, but have him walk me though each step. It took about an hour to complete (though it didn't seem that long) and I had the same "this looks terrible" attitude he usually does, but I suppose it was good for my first time. Then Friday while I was at work, Michael's new best friend (Chris, from Metropolis) came over and Michael did a full face prosthetic on him. I think it looks really good - and a little silly because of the facial expression. Michael took that photo since I was gone.

Also, here is a short zombie video that Michael did some make up for a few months ago! Never mind, Michael says its password protected because its not completely finished yet. I'll keep you posted!

the Effects Artist's Wife

This might be my favorite picture that Miriam took of me, after my make over on Saturday. I feel like I can really relate to Rachel McAdam's character in "The Time Traveler's Wife" - not knowing when she will see her husband again, being very sad when he's gone and thrilled to spend the time she has with him. I'm tempted to watch it again.. I'm trying to keep calm and not get upset that Michael is hardly home these days. I know it's because he is working. I just wonder how many other jobs will be like this. How many jobs will be worse, on my part, where he will be filming in North Carolina, completely gone for weeks (or months) at a time? I've passed the lonely stage. I don't know what I would do without Sasha's loving company.

 I wrote something for him yesterday:

I'm reaching out for my love

The zombies are ripping you apart

But as long as I can keep your heart

for myself, we'll be just fine.

Love never fails

And I have enough to go around

But I'll be selfish to the point

where I only share it with you.
