More about the coat obsession

I know I already put the pictures on Facebook but I have such an infatuation with this coat that I need to post about it a bit :P.
Here is the real dude in the real coat:

Anyhow, generally when you find pictures of this guy he has on the suspenders and no vest. He does wear a vest sometimes though! Pretty much the only place I found evidence of this is in this person's collection of Livejournal icons. Suffice to say this person must be a bit more obsessed than me.
I guess the vest and pocket watch is a bit of a sissier look than the suspenders. Maybe the suspenders would look more authentic. We are both kind of too skinny to look badass anyway though. I couldn't find suspenders at the thrift store so I got the vest to hide the fact that I don't have suspenders. It is not a real pocket watch, I just have a dog leash wrapped around my waist under the vest and hanging into the pocket :P.
Too bad Darrell's older brother Jorden does not live around here since he wears suspenders and a pocket watch on a regular basis and could probably let us borrow them :P. We bought Jorden some Torchwood DVDs for his birthday but due to an address mishap, it is probably lost in the mail... annoying... we were excited to see what he had to say about it. Hopefully he won't get weirded out that this character who dresses a bit like him is mostly gay :).
Regarding the coat, ours kind of looks too blue, but I know I have seen Jack in a blue looking one before. It may be partly the lighting. Ours is not big and heavy and long enough either (though it is way too heavy to wear in this weather for long enough to take a picture!). Oh well. I still like it even if it is a pale imitation of the real thing.
I realize our camera is far, far, too cheap and these pictures look terrible. Oh well. Hopefully you can get a vague idea of what our coat looks like.

I guess I'm just not cut out for dealing with anything the slightest bit stressful. Well, I already knew that. So we had our all-time record flood and it has dropped almost 6 feet since then but now they are saying there is going to be a second crest of the river even higher than the first sometime in April.

So... not sure exactly why I live in this ridiculous state of North Dakota. I can tell myself that we're better off than California much of the time but who's to say? Go »Halloween
We got some pretty scary masks at KMart. Darrin went as a "Crypt Creature" and Darrell went as a werewolf. That is actually me in the skeleton mask but you'd never guess from this picture. Go »Thundersnow
We had a nice thunder snowstorm on Tuesday evening. It was kind of surreal actually. I don't remember experiencing such odd weather before. Go »I didn't like Brokeback Mountain
I know I'm a number of years too late to be talking about this, but I finally happened to see Brokeback Mountain and I have to say I didn't like it terribly much. Yes, I realize this is an extremely unpopular opinion to the point of being just plain wrong as an objective fact. Note, I do not have a problem with gay people or gay behavior. Go »
