Jerry Falwell’s funeral was today. And I’m a little bummed because I had planned on watching it. Mainly to see which (if any) Republican candidates for president might show up but also because WBC were supposed to show up and protest. Oh well. My mom has been at me for ages now to go through […]

It’s that time of the television year again: season finales. I can’t say I’m sad about that. I need a break. And some sleep. But I thought I’d say Hi. I’ll talk to y’all soon. […]
If a helicopter falls in the city and there’s no one there to tell Claire about it, does it make a noise? What? This afternoon two different people came into the shop and mentioned that a helicopter had landed in the Target parking lot nearby. Which I thought odd, but promptly forgot about it. I […]
I’m on my own tonight. Ramona has abandoned me for (of all things) a dryer sheet. She’s a strange cat. I went and bought Aveda Foot Relief tonight since I’ve been out for some time. Great stuff. Lovely stuff. Addictive stuff. Except they seem to have changed the formula since last I bought some. I […]
I survived the doctor visit. Barely. Actually it’s been weird. A lot of the different treatments and shots and things that I was told I would be getting I haven’t gotten. I’m not complaining or anything. I’m the last person to jump up and down and shout, “What about that shot I’m supposed to get […]
Sounds like Tammy Faye is not long for this world. Poor dear. She seems like a lovely person. And yes, I base that on Surreal Life. I base many decisions on television viewing. I have a doctors appointment tomorrow. Just to remind you, dear reader, one of the reasons I took so long to get […]
It’s midnight and I’m finishing up work for the evening. Sadly, this is early for me these days. I find it weird that I wound up in the hospital for (among other things) over-work and am now busier than I was before. That’s okay though. I need the money. My hope that the hospital would […]
So my American Idol thought for the week: tonight Blake did You Give Love a Bad Name as a sort of… I don’t know… techno beatbox mishmash. And although it’s being praised as original and daring, I couldn’t help but be reminded of Orbital’s mix of that song with Heaven is a Place on Earth. […]
Sunday. I’m done working for the night. Trying to do any Photoshop work of any magnitude on my laptop is like… Analogy, Claire. Analogy! Like trying to walk a cat. You try and take some nice steps and the cat freezes and refuses to move. Then you try and take little steps to coax it […]
The bitch is back. Well, I mean I’m always quite bitchy, but in this context I’m referring to the fact that I finally got wireless access set up in this planet claire outpost and can now rant anytime I like without trying to mooch off someone else’s connection. Plus: the webcam made its way over. […]
It’s weird not having constant internet access. The only time I have to write anything seems to be after midnight. And it’s near impossible to find some random’s wireless access late at night. Today my mom was reading through a Collier’s from 1939 (found in my Grandma’s stuff). And she pointed out an ad for […]
I just got back from the funeral. It was a nice service. The people we expected to be there were there. It was nice to see family I hadn’t seen in some time. But it’s nice to be home. There are only so many ways you can answer the question “How are you doing?” with […]
Hm. A Ryan Adams song on American Idol. I think that’s a first. They seemed to attribute it to Tim McGraw, so I’m a bit confused. And it wasn’t exactly the greatest performance of the song. The original is beautiful. I’m scrambling to get ready to leave tomorrow morning. I’m a great packer, but not […]
I suppose I ought to wrap up the hospital stay. It’s been long enough: Bottom line: overstress, overwork, poor nutrition and a whole host of other things landed me in the hospital. They kept me for a few days, pumped me full of blood, gave me lots of pills, scolded me for not taking care […]
I have intermittent internet access at the moment. Which sucks. Anyway, I collapsed on Wednesday. Fifteen minutes later I was in an ambulance. Never been in one before. I asked if they could turn on the sirens but they politely declined. […]
Well, as it turned out, my night went awry. The night of the fourth anyway. I just got out of the hospital. Fun places, hospitals. And yet I get home and all I have is spam. Boring. […]
You know there has to be something interesting going down when three police cruisers in a row drive by your apartment without sirens or lights on. And, unless I miss my guess, a couple of unmarked cars just went by as well. Someone’s night is about to go awry. […]
I’m up at 4 AM. Which is always so much fun. Especially since I have to work tomorrow. And my eyes are killing me. I forgot to take out my contacts again. I was flipping channels and came across a program called “Hippies: The Dark Side” and was totally stoked. Because there aren’t enough programs […]
Alright, I lied. Well, not lied. I got two renewal notices. One for my professional site and one for this site. And I mixed them up. So I have another two months before this site goes down. Which should hopefully coincide with the last few shows I quote. In other news: I can’t sleep. Nothing […]
I got a renewal notice for this site today. And I’ve been thinking about it. I can’t afford paying $42 a month anymore for a site that doesn’t make me any money. I think the fact that The OC is gone, Stargate SG-1 is nearing completion, and Queer Eye is on its last legs doesn’t […]
