The Nick Baker Report
This blog has been largely dormant since I started posting my pics to Flickr, so enjoy a sampling of posts from this week in history.
Bowling Champs (2007)
We won the Faculty Club Candlepin Bowling Championship last Thursday! And I just got over the hangover today. Woot!

Nick Baker (2005)
So if you Google Nick Baker you come up with this site devoted to some loser who got caught smuggling millions of dollars worth of E into Japan and is now serving a 14 year prison sentence there. But wait, it gets better! He claims to have been framed by the guy who gave him the suitcase, but this guy was found dead in an English railway station last year, so Nick Baker is now totally screwed! It serves him right for sullying my fine name. There isn't much other tough competition for the top spot, just some British crocodile hunter wannabe, a model, and a musician. Nicholson Baker is nowhere to be found. So now I'm in the process of trying to get my blog listed at number one on Google for "Nick Baker." Wish me luck!

The Igloo Ran Away (2007)
It learned the trick from the snowmen. It ran across the lawn, into the street, and down the storm drain. Here you can see the progression over the past five days.The warming spell coincided exactly with my illness. You can imagine my surprise when I emerged from my apartment on Wednesday and it was in the 70s outside. All better, just in time to take off for merry old England.
The coating of new snow melts off, revealing blocks below.

Bye Bye Birdie (2005)
I discovered Bye Bye Birdie on my digital cable last month and it's hilarious!Best non-answer answer:
Hugo: "You don't like that Birdie creep, do you?"
Kim: "What do my eyes tell you?"
Best Song: Hymn for a Sunday Evening (an ode to Ed Sullivan)

Yay For Sunshine (2004)
I realized I was feeling seasonally affected, so I put 100 watt projector bulbs in two floor lamps, and put them on a timer. When they came on this morning, it was like the light of 1000 suns in my bedroom! I woke up cheerful for a change. I also created a custom stamp online through Rubber Stamp Champ which should prove very humorous when it arrives.March 10, 2004 @ 12:08 pm [3 comments] [link]
