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.

this totally counts as a post!

sorry i don't have a faboo picture to share today, i've been super busy!

i worked on a freelance project this morning, and then a bunch of new things for the shop tonight - i hope to get everything photo'd and listed tomorrow! it's really exciting all the stuff i have planned for this line of fun designy things, i just hope it all works out!

i'm finishin off my night with watching some dancing with the stars. i can't help it i get sucked in every season - who's your favorite to win? i know steve-o's probably gonna get shitcanned in the first few weeks, but i'd love to see him take the championship and go on to star in save the last dance 3: revenge of julia stiles' ghost!

guess what i like pancakes!

ok, just in case you haven't heard...

i'm obsessed with nannerpuss.

have you seen nannerpuss? he was the star of a dennys superbowl ad, and he is AWESOME. you can see for yourself if you click on this link. you'll recognize him on the page as the yellow octopus-like chap sitting jauntily atop a pile of delicious pancakes! deeeeeelicious i tell you!

my favorite part of the commercial, is if you watch real close he actually rips one of his eyes off half-way through. THAT is how committed he is to selling you hot tasty dennys breakfasts!

anyhow, i am cleaning up for an open house this morning, sat down for what was supposed to be five minutes to answer a couple of emails, and ended up making this:



the question for you the public: what do you think of nannerpuss and wouldn't you like to see more of him? comments please!

TOTALLY AWESOME UPDATE!! oh and also you know i'm totally entering my pic in this contest!

awesome, awesome, awesome

ok i can't find footage of this and it makes me so angry!!!

typically i'm not the sort who watches dancing with the stars and the bachelor and all that... but i had channel 7 on last night and forgot about tv for a while, and then when i came back to it adam carolla was dancing the mutha effin fox trot! WTF!!! and then i watched the rest of the episode.

my recap: dancing with the stars is really just kind of weird, and steve guttenburg is either high, or creepy or both and everyone should stay about 50 feet away from him at all times.

and then came the bachelor, which i'm slightly more inclined to watch because it involves completely trashy television. the highlight in last night's premiere was one trashy broad from chicago who got COMPLETELY PLASTERED at that first night's meet your bachelor and try not to get sent home first party. she had bleach blond hair, huge fake boobs and a bright blue sequiny dress, and swore up a storm.

at one point when the dude was talking to another girl she comes up and in her drunken stuper says something completely unintelligible while trying to put something in his pocket. you hear the guy telling her "i don't have a pocket there" a couple of times, and then she tucks this note or whatever into the waistband of his pants and leaves. leaves to go pass out from being the drunkest at the party. yay! so he goes back to talking to this other girl and they end up deciding to look at whatever it is drunkho left him and IT WAS HER UNDERWEAR!

so... uh... she got sent home last night. and the show got boring again. will i tune in next week? stay tuned to find out!!!

AHAHAHAHAHAH ok my sister danielle found this clip on youtube and it's AWESOME. years ago wayne brady sung to my sister michelle on who's line and for that you should probably send me fifty bucks!
