Of Bookworms and Trenchcoats

Have you ever walked down a city street late at night, alone, hearing only the click of your heels on the damp pavement, as the fog rolls in from the ocean, when all of a sudden a blogger steps out from an alley in a trenchcoat and whispers, "Psst. Hey buddy. C'mere. I wanna show you somethin."? 

How many bookworms do you know who will show you the seedy underbelly of their lair? If they are anything like Nikki Krumpet, author of Blah Blah Blah Blog, they'll pull you in, show you a little something-something, and shove you out the door - that's all you get to see, you can go home now, thanks for stopping by, leave a comment on your way out, and don't let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya.

We are like, totally best friends, Nikki and me. There's only 451 degrees of separation between us. Fahrenheit, that is.

Nikki likes to read. A lot. Which prompted the need for her to invent ways to disguise them within her knick-knack shelves:

That picture is from her blog. You look at that and think, "Gosh, that's a beautiful bookcase. Is that blonde oak?"

Nikki has something like twelve million books brilliantly stashed away in the nooks and crannies of her home, but you'd never know it, because she's so adept at blending everything together. Each piece complements its neighbor.

Inspired by Nikki's Martha Stewart ways, here is one of my furniture pieces dedicated to displaying my Spongebob Squarepants curios:



If you walked into my house and saw this, just try to deny that the first words out of your mouth would be, "Gosh, is that the 2004 Limited Edition Paper Spongebob Pop-up?"

You didn't even notice the books, did you? That's because of the mad camo skillz I picked up from good ol' Nik-Nik.

Anyway, thanks for stopping by, that's all you get to see, you can go home now...etc.

Thanks, Ken!

So Nice, They Published It Twice...

So yeah, one my posts was such a runaway bestseller, that it has gone into a 2nd printing. It's entitled "Found: FatCatchers Diary Discovered In the Garbage Behind Weight Watchers" and you can find it on the latest edition of MidLifeBloggers. The direct link to the post is HERE, and if you missed it the first time around and you're Jonesing for more Nanny Goats comedic brilliance and can't wait for the next regularly scheduled NGIP installment, then walk, don't run to MidLifeBloggers!

And could you pick up a bag of Cheetos on your way over? We're running low on snacks.

Not sure if you want to leave the confines of this blog to read my stuff on another blog? Well does this photo teaser help any?
