Has anyone been watching Bored To Death? It's just started it's 3rd season in America I believe but I'm halfway through the second season and I'm really enjoying it. It's a comedy about Jonathan Ames (played by Jason Schwartzman), a failing writer who moonlights as an unlicensed private detective. It's been described as like Seinfeld but the characters do normal stuff like smoke weed and get drunk. It's not laugh out loud funny most of the time, especially the first season, but it's still amusing and all the characters are great and they all have a really childlike approach to everything. It's good fun to watch.

And everything Jason Schwartzman (and Ted Danson tbh) wears is fucking awesome in it:

Anyone know where I could find a blazer similar to the ones he wears? A friend told me that everything he wears in that show is Band Of Outsiders but I don't know how true that is and I can't find anything very similar by Band of Outsiders. And I don't really wanna drop £700 on a blazer lol.

Also I'm nearly at 1000 posts. It's taken me nearly 3 years to get here and I feel like I owe something to TL, especially the BW community because that's what I come here for, although I did watch Orlando as my first SC2 tournament and I'll definitely be watching more SC2 in the future. The lack of BW progames is what drove me to it though.

So, I'm going to put forth some ideas of what I could do for my 1000 posts and leave it up to you guys to decide:

1.) A piece on BW progamer UpMaGiC. UpMaGiC was one of the most interesting Terrans to watch due to his crazy and unorthodox builds. He was pretty handy at TvT too (but terrible at everything else). I'd do some battle reports of some of his most interesting games and outline as much of his history as I can find info on.

2.) A Let's Play Dwarf Fortress. I played Dwarf Fortress way back when it was only in 2 dimensions and you started next to a cliff but haven't played since. I'd start from scratch and chronicle my entire game until I died or it got boring.

3.) Some kind of poker Q&A. I was a winning player at the micro SnGs on FullTilt and Stars and I've had some recent success with MTTs at buyins up to £11. I've been playing for about a year and I've taken trying to learn the game pretty seriously. You guys could ask me anything and I'd try to answer as best I could.
