Puma City Ocean Race Pop -up store in south Boston

The Volvo Ocean Race is coming to town soon! And if you were ever curious about how a shipping container building gets put together, that's what they're made of, by architecture firm Lotek. Eventually, the store will be built into a multi-level cantilevered shipping container buildling as shown on other sites, but I visited it before they put on the levels. It's going to be parallel to another cantilevered building, the ICA.

My next shoe purchase:

I've never bought a Patagonia shoe before, but I hope this one fits!!! It's called Sugar and Spice, and it has a removable outsole and an inside slipper you can keep on your feet! I'm imagining walking over the wild boston streets and trudging over the rubbly parking lot to the ICA, and then arrive, slip off the outsole and do my ICA tours in the slippers- FABULOUS! Patagonia also covers this shoe in their sustainable sourcing tracking site, "Footprint Chronicles"

Lets drink lots of petrol and destroy lots of cars!

Fast & Furious opened to theaters today, and it's bound to be a silly action movie, but they use a pretty nice car in the end, a whacked out Subaru WRX STI, so I wanna watch it! Nyah! Apparently they needed a ton of cars and copies of cars in order to make this movie, and they also had to destroy lots and lots of cars for their action scenes, but because I love Subarus, I'm just going to let it go....
