This is very interesting, thanks melysni. Basically, you upload a photo (can have multiple people in it) and it runs a facial recognition scan on it. It then compares you to 2400 celebrities and tells you who you look like. Depending on what photo I used, it says I look like Elia Kazan (70%) (who?), Michael Douglas (70%), David Duchovny (69%) a very young Dustin Hoffman (62%), or a very young John Malkovich (61%). Those are all from a photo where my hand kinda blocks my face. A better photo results in names like Brad Pitt & George Cloony (no lie! also Tom Cruise {note, just look like him, nothing else in common with the putz} and Kevin Spacey made the list).
In other news (as is often my way of quietly segueing from random writing into the actual 'oh my' item of the day), I've just been informed that there is a chance my friend Em will not be leaving our old hometown any time soon. It seems her boss is no longer interested in owning the business and there has been a conversation suggesting she and another would buy it out. I think the only bigger thing that could anchor her to that city would be a child. Or a serious relationship, I guess. Or a family member suddenly getting some god-awful disease... I shut up now, you get my point. Can I just say I do NOT like her living back there? I really don't see her getting what she deserves in life from that town. On the one hand, she makes visits home more enjoyable... But it makes it strange going up there to visit her. And a whole laundry list of gripes. Man, if she'd move down here, then we'd be talking... Obviously, I just want whatever best for her. And I want to be right when I make judgments about what is best for her! :)
