What's A Day Off Mean to You, Eric lab Rat?

Pajamas all day, bitches!

No slush in my socks; no salt on my kicks.

I'm drinking three brands of noxious, diet soda, smoking a hookah, doing my taxes and trying to revive my music blog. I'm listening to prog rock and dark cabaret all day and I might watch the Mummy on a treadmill.

Also, I have a show later. What's a day off again?

Highlights from the Lake Forest photobooth

Before she joined on, Sarah thought that my photobooth idea was the dumbest thing ever, but now everyone is doing it. They all suck, except for Sean, who is a nice enough guy that I can admit he does good work. Sarah still thinks it's dumb, but also sees how happy people are doing it, which isn't just rare for art or work but any personal endeavor. We're like the opposite of the paparazzi. We're building a website, but we can't seem to figure out a name. Here are some of the rejects

-The Mobile Photo Booth - all domains taken
-EveryoneIsScummy - not original enough; parody of everyoneisfamous.com
-Last Night's Noise Show - ditto, parody of lastnightsparty.com
-Bitches Be Posin' - maybe perhaps not everyone wants to be called a bitch
-SHUTTERBUTT! - totally cute and apropos, but some douche used up shutterbutt.com
-Positive Land - according to google, Negativland- who we were trying to honor with the title- occasionally uses the moniker for secret shows... also it sounds kind of AIDS-y. I still like it though.
-The Enabler - meh
-Resident Amateur - I haven't run this one by Sarah, but, yeah, meh

Coming up with names blows. If you have any ideas drop them in the suggestion box.

Anyways, this girl Ceci saw our I Love Gold photobooth from New Years and contacted us about working at a party at Lake Forest College. We didn't realize it at the time, but it was actually at the college, like in a common area-- but it was better than any of that actually sounds like it would be. It was a bump-and-grind dance party to benefit the One campaign that made all the school cops kinda anxious and probably got a couple people laid. So guess what? We get people laid and we save lives.Stupid or not, we're fucking awesome.

The complete set can be found here

and the next photobooth is happening this Friday at Liar's Club

In other news, I'm in one of those moods where I feel really stupid. I'm trying to kickstart my brain reading Stephen Hawking's "A Brief History of Time" but b movies and retail are probably keeping me stupid. Yesterday I saw "Kinky Kong", a skinemax monster movie spoof that was maybe the best piece of softcore I've ever seen. A guy in a monkey suit and so many terribly, terribly tattooed fake tits rubbing up against one another. The Breed on the other hand was amazing. Read and heed these words: dystopian vampire buddy cop noir + Bokeem Woodbine + holocaust flashbacks.

Life is good sometimes.
