New Coats

I have purchased two new coats.

One of them is a dark brown leather bomber jacket in the style to which I have become accustomed.

The other is the black button-y trenchcoat that I wished I had when I was 20. It is very nihilistic. When I wear it, I feel like the author of Polaris that people expected when they are disappointed to meet me at cons.

Let's see, you 've got the facial hair coming in, trench coat, now all you need is to grow a pony tail and wear some psuedo counter-culture religious neckpiece and you're all set.

Hi, welcome to Clan Ventrue.

I am pretty sure the author of Polaris wears a fluffy poets shirt and a huge billowy cape.

I understand why he might hire that Ben Lehman guy to do cons for him, though; it's hard to leave your majestic castle when the very sight of the modern world makes you break into uncontrollable weeping.

Yeah, to pull it off (Polaris author) I imagine you would need shave your head and paint your nails black. Also, develop tuberculosis. But that's a given for any kind of authorship.

ANGST MORE NOOB.

Seriously though, you'd be cool in a trench coat.
