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.

okay so we just had another earthquake, cue the media coverage!

fox channel 11: where were you when the earthquake hit?

steph: i was sitting at my desk working, alex.

fox channel 11: and what did it feel like?

steph: it felt quite a lot like me crapping my pants.

fox channel 11: you crapped your pants?

steph: that is correct alex.

see, there really hasn't been many earthquakes in the last ten years or so, and apparently that's more weird than not cuz caltech or whoever it is that studies this stuff says they expect at least three magnitude 5.0 quakes in california a year. and there just hasn't been any for a while. so all the activity recently, that's normal for california, but we all forgot because it's been quiet for so long.

the good thing is that building codes are pretty strict because of it, so when they happen it's no big deal. stuff shakes for a couple of seconds, if you're close to where it's actually happening then maybe your fancy hamilton collection plates will fall off their gilded plate holders, but other than that no one really cares.

except for me, because i'm filled with rage that i have to listen to local yokels say 'well, it felt like shaking, and then it stopped' 24/7 on the news afterwards.
