Remarkably Unremarkable.

I must have a really generic looking face. Every time a stranger talks to me I know I'm going to get compared to someone. Today I got compared to a customer's doctor. As she was telling me that I looked just like her doctor I decided I would compile a list of every person I've been informed I resemble.

• Daniel Radcliffe
• Elijah Wood
• Joaquim Phoenix
• Salvador Dali
• Salma Hayek (idk lol)
• Bear Grylls
  
• Gary Sinise
• Michael Cera
• Mark Mothersbaugh (lead singer of Devo)
• Seth from the OC (I had to look that one up. I don't see it at all)
  
• Tobey Maguire
• Napoleon Dynamite
• Some random Russian pop star I never got the name of.
• And lastly, random customer's doctor.
  

Basically, I look like any nerdy looking dude with glasses. Which doesn't surprise me, because that sounds like me.

In unrelated news, I finished reading The Strain. It started off slow, but eventually picked up. It was a fast read and the writing was solid. One thing that bothered me involved a CDC researcher dumping potentially dangerous chemicals of unknown identity down a sink. There were some very memorable scenes and the vampires were feral, bloodthirsty, pale monstrosities. Just the way I like 'em. Overall, it's a decent read that isn't without its faults.

I've already started reading Catcher In the Rye. I'm not really enjoying the writing style. I understand he's writing as if it's Holden Caulfield's diary, but I just wish he could come up with a few more adjectives other than "goddam". It doesn't help that all of the characters are douchebags. All that said, the book has introduced me to a new phrase that has become a welcome part of my vernacular. That phrase would be "give her the time". Thanks, Salinger!
