the hearts and laserbeams blog!

recently blogger decided we can't publish my blog to my own website anymore so here we are! pardon the dust, and please visit us online at www.heartsandlaserbeams.com!

hearts and laserbeams is the wacky good-times art and design by me, steph calvert. i team up with robots, cupcakes, and stick people to show people art isn’t all about seriousness, missing ears, and deep thoughts; it can actually be tons of fun.

it always trips me out when daylight savings time ends and you find yourself waking up at 6:30 on the weekend.

i flipped on the tv and channel 25 was just about to show jack frost, that michael keaton family movie from a few years ago. did i ever tell you about the jack frost incident at the bbv? (yeah, homies, that's the blockbuster video to you)

it was a really busy friday night, maybe around 7 at night. i had a huge stack of movies i was putting back on shelves, and i think a couple of them were horror movies. while over in that area, i got a truly genious idea - michael keaton's jack frost had just come out the week before, there was a whole shelf of them behind me. so i took the horror movie jack frost and put it behind the micheal keaton coverbox. (you wouldn't notice the difference unless you really read the box, since they were all in the bbv covers)

about an hour later i breezed by the new release wall and no more jack frosts were on it.

so i'm standing next to another ass. manager, and we're giggling like jerks about what someone went home with, and the phone rings.

i made doug answer it. "hello, blockbuster video," he says.

"uh, i think i have the wrong movie? i rented jack frost, because i thought it was a family movie... and the snowman just killed someone."

doug handled it in a very ass. manager fashion, told her he was sorry, there must have been some mixup, we'll let you change it and have an extra free rental for your trouble...

there's like a billion stories like that from the 9 months or so that i worked there. pure hilarity.
