I’ve been going through my old rants and moving them to the new format. And I had completely forgotten about this ad from Channel 4 featuring a number of celebrities sharing their favorite curse words. It’s worth reposting. Even if it means I have the pretty vacant Mischa Barton on my rant page. […]

Sounds like there are more hearings on the sex and violence in hip hop. And what can be done about it. I’ve never been a big fan of censorship. And I don’t think an artist should have to hold back with what they have to say just to make sure they’re not offending people. Are […]
Did you make it over here with me? I suppose if you’re reading this, the answer would be “yes”. My mom got a new car this week. Finally. She’s been driving this white minivan for years, which seriously downgraded her coolness. So she bought a Toyota Matrix. I think mainly because the trunkage area is […]
What’s going on here, you ask? I’m in the middle of changing over my old rant to a new format. It’s just too hard to organize the thing anymore. So all old posts are being added in little by little until I’ve moved everything. Which should be completed sometime after never. […]
I made a field trip this afternoon to the local courthouse. It was slightly unscheduled (and a boring story to boot) but there you go. I had to take care of a ticket that I thought I’d already taken care of. Now, I don’t know about you, but I don’t frequent local courthouses. So I […]
My car, while parked out in the suburbs at my mom’s, was broken into this weekend. Or… got into this weekend. They didn’t break anything. At least that I can tell. I haven’t looked in my trunk for fear of a dead body stowed away. In fact, the only evidence that something was amiss was […]
I’ve been wildly attempting to get organized this week. It’s not going well. But that’s okay. Things will sort themselves out eventually. I think. I’ve already had several sales at my newly updated and expanded store, thank you very much. Including my new favorite: the towel tee. Twelve more and the initial expense will be […]
I had my cellphone off for the latter half of the weekend. I would like to tell you it was because the battery was dead, but in actuality it was because I was trying to get work done in peace. So I checked messages today and have a mysterious call. It was either a wrong […]
I’m still struggling with the loss of my laptop. Along with some old files and accounts that I’ve had for ever. Which is so whiny. How many people open some stupid account and then forget the password and just open a new one? Like every day? And here I am all hung up on a […]
I want to write a story just so I can have the whole “Is that a threat?” “No. It’s a promise.” Exchange. Except it would just be: “Is that a threat?” “No. *beat* Yes, of course that’s a threat. What are you, slow?” I’ll work it in somewhere along the way. I got a call […]
The Jose Chung episode of X-Files is on right now. Classic—classic!—episode. A must-watch. I saw on the news tonight that the state is offering a $27 million bonus to the company rebuilding the 35W bridge if they come in under time. Now that’s an awesome idea! If it’s Opposites Day. Let’s just give the company […]
I’m sitting in the lobby of some random ass car place getting my… Something’s getting fixed. It was broken. Now they’re fixing it. Whatever. It’s a running theme these days. Saturday night, my laptop (the planetclaire.org satellite station) took a turn for the worse and is now waiting for its own exploratory whatever. In the […]
I am just plain not having a good week. Or month. Or, apparently, life at the moment. The least of my troubles: my fucking iPod is corrupt or grumpy or something and claims I must wipe all traces of my (now apparently gone) music in order to use it again. Of course, like any good […]
Coverage of the bridge collapse has died down at the moment. Soon the people who were lamenting the fact that this dangerous bridge wasn’t closed earlier will be bitching about traffic and how their commute has been so terribly affected. So one of the issues I run into working at the print shop (which also […]
So when I was a little girl (a lonely, only child girl) I had a handful of older cousins on my dad’s side. And I was so envious of them because they were so cool that they knew the lyrics to every song. And I really wanted to be as cool as they were. So […]
For the life of me, I can not figure out why Victoria Beckham is getting so much crap in the tabloids about her appearance. I think she looks great for a 50 year old. […]
I’ve been cleaning up files on my laptop for the past few days. And am reminded that, at a certain point, I was low on drive space and just switching between applications was painful. Not only that, but I would lose files because of it. Reminded, I say, because I occasionally run into files like, […]
I sent out my public service announcement for the evening. I alerted the Twin Cities community that a large metal object would be hurling downward onto parked vehicles on August 3 in the warehouse district. I feel like I did my duty. You have not lived until you’ve seen an anvil thrown off a four […]
