It really bothers me that I cannot find actual Doc Marten sanctioned Doc Marten shoelaces for my winter shoes. Two years ago, one of the laces broke and I limped through winter tying this tiny little lace. Last winter, the second one gave up the ghost but again, I put it off, since I didn’t want to just put ugly shoe laces in them. My Docs are one of my favorite London purchases’ definitely the most utilitarian. Sure, they actually made my suitcase tip over no less than 23 times in Gatwick Airport, but this will be the fifth winter wearing them and they still look purty. They also kick ass on ice and slush. Plus, how many shoe laces actually last for three and four years respectively?
My Docs are, in some ways, proof that I am still a punk rock girl dammit, despite my affinity for cross-stitch and Martha Stewart.
So if anyone knows where I can get replacement 4-hold Doc Marten shoelaces, send me a note.
Apparently the advent of cold weather is a harbinger of my anal-retentive streak.
I’ve alphabetized my links on the side panel. How sad is that? It was pissing me off. If I accidentally dropped anyone, my apologies and send me an email and I will remedy it.
Dear Johnny Depp,
I hate to tell you this, but you know how you tried desparately to avoid being typecase as ‘Hot Young Studly Guy’? I think you’ve now been typecast as ‘English Investigator Guy Whom NoOne Believes’. While I’m certain that Skeet Ulrich is quite happy in your decision, maybe you should rethink that strategy, huh?
Oh, and you can’t grow a mustache, so just stop.
Yours truly,

Dear Shaggy and Scooby,
Why the hell do you two always team up together and let Fred take Daphne and Velma by themselves? How is splitting Guy with Two Girls, leaving Guy with Dog a fair shake? I mean, you’re just asking to run into trouble there. Or is Fred actually being sexist in considering two women as much help as Scoobie? Also, maybe you should not go scouting for snacks in those old rundown houses. Not only do you often run into scary monsters and the like, that food can’t be too fresh. I’m just saying.
