From the jump I always thought that Morgan Spurlock of 30 Days fame looked like Oz season three’s Tobias Beecher. So of course I had to watch when Spurlock went to prison for 30 days. And laughed a bit when he mention the fear of being shanked or raped. Take it from Toby, Morgan. Fear […]

I will just put in a shameless plug for a friend of mine, who—along with some compatriots—has produced a magazine called Rock Mania. This first episode of which will hopefully be arriving this Friday. It’s a labor of love put together by a bunch of people that know way too much about music. I only […]
It’s been raining a fair bit this evening. And by this evening I mean Thursday night, as it’s currently after midnight on Friday. So earlier in the evening most local television stations had weather report update thingies instead of the regularly scheduled programming. Whatever. They were taking calls from eyewitnesses around the state (good timekiller […]
Oh the backstory: Years ago I had a guestbook. People would write lovely things to me about my site and how much they adored it. It was awesome. But I shut it down some time ago because I got tired of deleting V¡@GRA spam posts. Not only that, but a lot of nice people would […]
I did my various things yesterday and got home around 5 PM or so. About 2 hours later I looked down at my arms and had a mini-heart attack because they looked all red and blotchy. I was terrified that I had contracted some sort of rash. It’s called a sunburn, Claire. But it’s a […]
Death Cab for Claire showed up near my work yesterday. I pulled up to a stoplight, looked at the vehicle in front of me, and BAM! Death Cab! Now, some may think that it’s difficult to believe that Death Cab is following me since it shows up in front of my car all the time, […]
A week ago today my great aunt died at age 92. Didn’t know her very well, but she was a wonderful person and had a great sense of humor. She was also pretty blunt. Her husband died years ago, about a week before they were going to celebrate their wedding anniversary. Aunt Jo decided that […]
I’m not the only one seeing three T’s in Litttle Ed’s, am I? There have been a few searches into here looking for it. So apparently my eyes weren’t deceiving me. Or there’s a mass hallucination going on. Awesome. […]
What a weird week. It just is. I have no cute anecdotes, no funny stories, no lucid rants. It’s just been a weird week. But the Sixth Annual Gardner Anvil Drop is now over. It may just have been the best one yet. I completely missed the first anvil dropping because someone was jumping around […]
I hate Sundays. I’ve been camped out all day. I refused to go anywhere in protest. Ah well. I got nothin’. Have a good night. […]
It’s that time again. Gardner Hardware Anvil Drop time. Exclusively at planetclaire.org: a shot of the Gardner Hardware anvil during the off-season. But in a little over a week—August 10th to be exact—it will be flung off the roof onto an unsuspecting car. Although personally I like the watermelon better. They do more collateral damage. […]
If anyone asks, I was never here, okay? I’m supposed to be editing video right now. Someone ordered a planetclaire t-shirt. Along with an OC shirt. Something about that makes me insanely happy. And helps me pay rent at the same time. Heh. Anyway, dreary weekend this. Nothing but rain. When I was a kid […]
I got a phone call from my cousin today around 10 AM. Which seemed odd. Turns out Gardner Hardware was declared Best Hardware Store in City Page’s Best of 2006. How awesome is that? Except now I should really update the website. D’oh. Sounds like the Anvil Drop is slated for mid-August. I think he […]
Oz tally from tonight’s The Bedford Diaries: Claire and Busmalis! Woo hoo! I feel like it’s The Jury tally all over again. I miss that. I hope Kristin Rohde shows up more. I like her. […]
My upstairs neighbor, someone I always thought was relatively cooler than me, is rockin’ out to some Sheryl Crow. I guess I’m not a very good judge of character. I had a crappy day. Punctuated intermittently by more crappiness. I scrambled all day to get out of work on time, only to leave over an […]
Happy Earth Day. I went to my grocery store and it was all about Earth Day. There were like 20 food sample stations set up with organic food. And this is not a large store. One of the things that always weirds me out there is they have little stations with, say, chips and dip […]
In the category of “You Never Know Who You Might Pass on the Street”: Today I made a couple copies for an older gentleman. A lot of the older folks who come into the shop refuse to attempt to use the self-serve copier and I’ve learned it’s just easier to do it for them. And […]
Driving home from work today I turned my head quickly and saw a headless guy riding a bike. Which freaked me the hell out until I realized it was a short guy riding a bike with his head under his jacket to keep out the rain. But for a split second all known reality was […]
In the interest of complete honesty here at planetclaire, I will admit that brunch was mighty tasty and moms kindly picked up the tab. Last year we started doing Easter brunch at a local pasta bar and their version of brunch is nothing like what I grew up with. I’ve eaten enough heat lamp-fried eggs […]
I was uploading a file and grabbed a pen next to me and started running it up and down my leg aimlessly. Which would have been a non-story if I had noticed the pen was clicked on. Now I have blue pen lines running up and down my leg. In other news: Hope everyone’s filed […]
