moderate success

I delivered on my promise to try to get some surreptitious class pictures of my Dana Carvey dop professor. The pictures are not great because it was very difficult to find a moment when he wasn't looking--the class has grown from 10 people to 20 but that's still not very large.

At first I was a little nervous about not only him seeing me, but the two girls sitting next to me. At one point one of them whispered, "What are you doing?" Not being able to quickly think of a more reasonable answer for what I was doing, I decided to go with the truth and replied, "I think he looks like Dana Carvey and I want to show people." She quietly laughed and agreed with me.

I wish that I had been able to capture him making a particular face with raised eyebrows and shrugged shoulders that I really feel exhibits the most Dana Carveyness, but I had to work with what I could. Hopefully the endorsement of my fellow Research Methods classmate and these photos are good enough.

new direction

Due to my ambivalence about this blog and one (1) request, I have decided to take it in a new direction. My last two dopplemania blogs have been enjoyable to me and have inspired me to make the entire thing about the amazing phenomenon of some people looking like other people.

As Robert has pointed out to me (and ridiculed me for) several times, I seem to have an affinity for finding similarities in people's appearances. Often when we are watching TV or movies, I say, "Doesn't that guy look just like so-and-so?" Most of the time he disagrees with me, even when it ACTUALLY IS THAT PERSON who we know in real life and happens to have landed a small role in that week's episode of Gossip Girl.

So, with the creation of this blog I will now have an outlet for my talent. Whenever I see someone who I think looks like someone else, I will do my best to obtain pictures of both and post them here for the evaluation of whoever is reading this. Also, if you think you have spotted a doppelgänger, please feel free to share your discovery--don't save it for Queen Dopplepoplous.

dopplemania revisted

My new professor looks somewhat like Dana Carvey. There are only 10 people in the class, of which apparently I am the only one who wants to respond to his questions, so surreptitious picture taking will be difficult. But I will try.

In the meantime, here is a picture of Dana Carvey, just for the hell of it:
