starry eyed
Filed Thursday, June 3 2004.

My interest piqued by Greg's discovery of the Anologia Star Estimator, I decided to give the system a whirl. In short, pop in a picture of yourself, and the Estimator suggests three celebrities you supposedly resemble.

Testing the system out with three different self-portraits, I ended up with a slew of possibilities, though with two suggestions popping up twice: Johnny Depp and George Clooney. And, flattering as that may be, I'm left rather seriously doubting the system, as I'm pretty sure I look absolutely nothing at all like either of those two guys.

Instead, in real life, I get stopped on the street by people who feel the need to tell me I look like Matthew Broderick. The beard and short haircut was, in part, an effort to stop that, which seems to have worked, though now I occasionally get Edgar Bronfman, Jr.

Still, by self-assessment, especially on those days when skipping showering forces the front of my hair into a kewpie-doll point, I've determined I most closely bear a resemblance to: TinTin.
