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.

Stupid stuff
Well the most exciting thing to report is I've developed a crush on a TV character. I think this is a pretty clear sign that I need a life. It's not even a remotely original or interesting choice (besides being behind the times) and I don't actually like bad boys dammit :P Go »D&D update
The guys made it to 4th level and then we added 2 new characters. We had a dragonborn warlord and an elf ranger, at 4th level we added an eladrin wizard and a dwarf fighter. Darrell is playing the fighter and warlord, Darrin has the ranger (though he's not exactly into the game so we're lucky if we're able to call him to the table to actually make his dice rolls) and I got the wizard even though I'm DM :-P.

Not a lot happens in my life that I feel I can talk about publicly! There's my work, but we all know you can't talk about that. We're involved in a politcal thing that, if life were like an episode of Monk, would surely get us all killed. Go »Office Party
Last weekend we went to an office party at my boss's lake house. We took Philip and he got along famously with my boss's dog, Willow, who is half greyhound and half husky. I like Willow quite a bit. Go »Sewing Project?
So... we are into this goofy show "The Prisoner" lately and decided we want to go as people from that show for Halloween. That is, assuming anyone invites us to a party of any kind. Go »
