Does This Mean I'm a Man Now?

Simone and I are off to a workmate's wedding on Sunday night and, tired of wearing the same old stuff, I went and bought a new shirt and tie today. I actually went with my boss and my workmate (the guy whose wedding it is) and picked out a fancy European-cut shirt (at least, I'm told by Simone it's European-cut, and I tend to trust her) and a swish black-and-white tie (the whole wedding theme is black-and-white).

Photos of my swankiness will no doubt appear here in time ... although given that I'll be with Simone, I'll be lucky to not end up being the shabby guy standing next to the beautiful-woman-who-could-quite-obviously-do-much-better.

Yes, you can all gag now.

Anyways, as the shirt was European cut, it quickly turned out that a pair of cuff links would be needed.


My boss (we shall call him PK) offered to lend me some, but when I found a pair for a reasonable price I decided "To hell with it" and bought my very first pair of cuff links.

This, combined with some exciting news on the job front, leaves me feeling like a responsible and upwardly mobile man, rather than the slack and directionless guy-child I often function as.

And finally, to wrap up ... Things I still need to blog about;

- how the conference went

- how I managed to turn our living room into a mini-theatre for just over 24 hours.

Upcoming things to blog about;

- the wedding, and the awesomeness therein.
