Happy Post-Valentine's Day!

Happy day-after-Valentine's!

Some of you without a special someone, as I, may have considered building a significant other out of household items for the holiday. After a google search for some much needed instructions, I was dissuaded by the following warning:


Give them an arm and they'll take a leg. Both legs. And then some guy with a big mustache will steal your Frankenstein-esque love. Seems safer now to just hook up with a video game character . . .

Doppelgänger


It appears that last week was "doppelgänger week" on Facebook; those participating in the doppelgänger fun posted a picture of a celebrity that looks like them as their Facebook profile picture.

I resolutely refused to post a doppelgänger picture. The thought of participating in doppelgänger week conjured a horrific memory I have been trying to blot from memory for a long time. A couple years ago I ran a picture of myself through a celebrity face recognition site. After processing for a few moments the website generated my doppelgänger:

the Mary Cate and Ashley Olsen twins.



I'm pretty sure that was a result of a virus . . . or something like that. Right? RIGHT?!!
