I thought for some reason I had put the method in my original post - guess I was more tired than I thought. Basically, I used a long exposure and manually positioned the flash then fired it twice. Had to run through a few trial shots to get my head positions how I wanted them - thankfully, I got lucky and only had to do 5 or so.
Long version:
Set camera to wait 5 sec, then open shutter giving me time to sit and use all my acting ability to create a heart-rendingly sad visage.
Held white umbrella in one hand, flash in the other to give a fairly soft, but directional light off to the side and a bit behind my face.
The white walls of my apartment provided just a little bit of fill light to the opposing side of my face.
I then switched the umbrella and flash to my other hand, turned my face, and went to my happy place (all new canon L's).
Oh, and btw, the exif shows no flash if it was triggered throught the pc sync connection instead of the hot shoe which is how mine connects (can't afford all the new bells and whistles). So, the on camera flash did go off, but I had it set on 1/80 so it contributed no exposure, it just optically triggered the handheld flash which the timer had given me time to position. Then the second flash was triggered using the test button on the flash.
wow, took my a long time to say very little...

Let me know what you think.
By the way, you need #203 in front of your title if this is going to count.
