Sharing Genes With Celebrities

Instead of working today, I've been having fun with the face recognition software on myheritage.com. I was skeptical after uploading my picture and getting a list of gorgeous female celebrities (who I don't think I resemble at all). But then I started uploading celebrity photos to see if the software could match them. It was 100% correct, every time.

So "yay" for me, I share some features with Grace Kelly, Hillary Swank, Keira Knightly, Eva Longoria, Jennifer Aniston, Queen Rania, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Tori Amos, Julianne Moore, and... Janis Joplin(???). (The ladies I mentioned all appeared multiple times.) I feel pretty.. oh so pretty.

Ok, ok... so Andy Roddick showed up a bunch of times too. I guess if I have to look like a guy, there are worse ones to resemble.

So save me a spot on the red carpet. You all know I'm dying for an excuse to buy more impractical shoes.

Everywhere You Go You Shout It

I've had a pretty productive week so far. Amazing, I know. Since Monday, I have created a new resume and portfolio, sent them to several people, and started a new painting. (Doesn't sound like much when I list it...) Ok, and I'm um... (don't shoot me) considering a career change.

Dare I say that I want to be an independent film maker? (Doesn't everyone?)

I feel like the clouds have parted and everything that I need to give it a go has fallen at my feet.

Now I just need a good idea. A script would probably be good too.

(Ha... all of my actor friends are cowering in fear.)

Let's see what happens!

It's Morphin' Time!

Well, I succumbed to Jme's urgings and put a few of my videos up on youtube.com. I think I have these links titled right...

More will be coming soon. I have entirely too much time on my hands.

On a side note, have I ever mentioned how much I love Wikipedia? I went there yesterday to settle a little dispute over which dino spirit the original red power ranger embodied (btw, never argue with me over power ranger trivia!!) and found this portion of the entry:

Plot Sequence
A normal Power Rangers episode can be broken down into an everyplot.
The plot sequence is generally as follows:

1. Rangers are seen in everyday life with a dispute to resolve.
2. Rangers are attacked by an evil foe's minions/foot soldiers.
3. Rangers fight minions/foot soldiers.
4. Rangers morph.
5. Rangers defeat minions/foot soldiers.
6. Evil enemy revives minion and makes minion grow to gigantic proportions, followed by
7. Rangers summoning giant machines known as Zords and/or their combined form, the Megazord.
8. Optional: Rangers find that their current powers are insufficient to defeat monster and discover a new power, such as a Battlizer armor for the Red Ranger, a sixth Ranger, or a new Megazord.
9. Rangers fight and defeat said giant minion.
10. Rangers are shown back in everyday life, having learned a life lesson which solves the earlier dispute.

This is only funny because I found it only moments after explaining the Power Ranger everyplot...

Don't laugh at me! Be honest with yourself... deep down inside, everyone wants to run around doing kung-fu in red/blue/black/green/yellow/pink/white spandex.

A Knock On The Door

It was 78 degrees today. 78 degrees on April 14? How is that even possible? I guess some meteorologist on the radio said that the uncanny warm weather is a good indication of how the rest of the summer will be. Fine by me. I'm not happy unless my skin is melting off.

I could write a whole second paragraph about the recent increase in geologic and solar activity and its impact on the climate, but I'll spare you this time.

If we have another blizzard before May, I'm going to have to murder someone.

Again today, I was feeling the strongest urge to paint, and was never able to get myself in front of a canvas. Ugh. I have all of tomorrow... but I probably won't feel like it anymore by then. If I actually paint something tonight, I'll post pictures tomorrow. I seriously need to get these framed and out in stores/restaurants/etc. But I'm a lazy cow. :)

Fine, fine. I'll paint a little one. I'll paint a little one right now. Wish me luck.
