Pack Rat wonders how Joel eats and breathes, and other science facts

I came across online store ModCloth while I was looking for something totally unrelated last week. That just goes to show how wacky the e-web is. After drooling over almost all of their vintage/vintage-inspired offerings, I settled on these Dirty Martini Peep Toe shoes. And it’s not just because they come in my mammoth size 10 shoe size. They are subtly retro and classy, not loud and gaudy like, say, go-go boots (not that I don’t love a good go-go boot). They are office ready and dress-up friendly. What’s not to love?

Pack Rat magazine’s alias is Nick Soapdish. It’s French.

Quick update on the magazine. Perhaps unsurprisingly we are running behind schedule. This time we have a pretty good excuse though, as we had a major computer crash and ongoing computer bugs that we are trying to deal with. We hope to have the July/August issue to you asap.

To that end, I’m going to keep these next few blogs brief. I found a “how-to” for these cunning oil cloth lunch sacks over on Martha Stewart’s website. It is actually the second time today that I have stumbled on to a website or article relating to Martha Stewart, and it’s not yet 10 am. I wonder if it’s some kind of sign?
