A suit and a pipe

In a fit of temporary insanity (well not really, it was premeditated) today I decided to do something i've been curious to do for a long time. I went down to the local tobacco store and bought myself a pipe. So much for not smoking.

For what its worth, my new birch pipe is a thing of beauty. I'll put a picture of it up when I get internet back at my place.

I've also gotten a very dashing suit for an upcoming wedding this Saturday. I'm generally not one to blow my own trumpet but I must say that putting on a fitted suit is quite an experience, and quite a transformation. It (almost) makes me wish for bygone days where people walked around in crisp suits and consequently got gunned down by 1920's era mobsters. It would be a shame to bleed on something so classy though. The hired suit is due back on Monday, but between now and then i'm going to be wearing it as much as I can. It just feels good.

Strange how a relatively simple outfit can change the way you look at yourself.

Incidentally, i'm currently on the lookout for a good detective name generator. If any of you folks know where I can find one, feel free to link it to me.
