a little fundraiser...

kids, hope your xmas was merry and bright!

it's come to our attention here in heartsandlaserbeamsland that we need new equipment for our heat transfer tees in order to keep selling them. the new equipment's gonna be about 200 bucks.

if 13 1/3 people buy a print from my online shop, it would cover the costs.

what a third of a person's doing buying artwork is beyond me, but who am i to judge?

so please! support the new heat press effort in any way you can!

we'll make it worth your while - buy a little something from the shop and receive a free set of postcards! (while supplies last)

thanks so much and you're totally rad,
steph

merry xmas!

you may be asking yourself, "self, why is steph blogging at 5am? on xmas?"

josh is workin' today, which is lame. but we did xmas last night with his mom and bro, and it was fun times to be had by all! today's agenda includes making some xmas enchiladas (which means green onions and tomatoes on top) and figuring out what time juno's showing at the art theater around the corner from our house, cuz we're draggin the mutha and the brutha there after josh gets home to go see it.

we saw it last weekend and have been dying ever since to see it again.

hope y'all have a great holiday! give a hug to your friends and family for me! and while you're at it, probably grab their butts, too. tell em that one's from josh.

also, hot tip - i had never had it before, but eggnog with rum in it is EFFING DELICIOUS.

cheers!
steph

Curse you banana republic for being so expensive!

BRR and GRR

lemme just say the one thing i hate about winter is i already get cold super-easy, i don't need help from mutha nature. so now it's the middle of december and it's getting pretty cold out (no seriously it's for reals cold, like 40 degrees and shit!) and i can't get warm to save my life.

i wonder if there's some kind of medical procedure i could undergo to make me have normal people body temperature and not constant chilliness. like i think it's unnatural how cold i get - today's little monster market was in a parking structure, and given it was not in the direct sun BUT i wore warmy-warm socks, long john pants and shirt, jeans, a shirt over the longjohn shirt, a hoodie over the shirt over the longjohn shirt and a wool coat over the whole thing AND gloves AND a winter hat that has little earflaps on it to cover the ears AND I WAS STILL MUTHAEFFING COLD ALL DAY!

can i declare shenanigans on my body temperature and how do i go about doing that?

I have 20 robots in my car and im on my way to hang em! So exciting!

love that chicken at popeyes!

ok so this afternoon i was on the way home from the dog park, and i decided to grab lunch at popeyes.

i walk in the door, and there's like 4 customers waiting for food. and there's kind of a tension in the air.

one guy's order comes up, and as he's walking up to take it and leave, a lady waiting for her lunch says loudly, "you should stop tailgating and slow down, you'll live longer"

and without missing a beat he picks up his bag, heads for the door and says just as loudly "well you should learn how to drive!"

and then she yells as he's walking out "HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!"

and that folks, is the true meaning of christmas.
