P. 123 Meme

[mlerules]

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the sentence along with these instructions.
5. Don't search around and look for the coolest book you can find. Do what's actually next to you!

Okay, the only book within reach of the 'puter hutch ends on page 122. When I wander over to the next closest bookshelf and grab the first fat book I come upon (to make sure it has a p. 123), THIS is what I get:

"If you've read up and can deal with the idea of pulling tapeworm out of your butt by rolling them on a stick, and you are now packing, what do you have to do physically before you leave?"

Yup, gots to love travel books...

I had to reread that a couple of times to be sure I wasn't hallucinating...wow...you do read some fascinating travel books! My quote came out to be from Measure for Measure. Do I feel like a geek or what?

Mine was from Robert Young Pelton's "The World's Most Dangerous Places - 5th Ed." What was your quote?

"What, is there none of Pygmalion's images, newly made woman, to be had now, for putting the hand in the pocket and extracting in clutched?"

In all honesty, I haven't read that play...I've read many of his, but not that one...it's just part of a complete works of W.S. that I have lying around. But thanks!

Also, you're likely ot be very busy, as usual, today...but if you and/or delerium3 would like to come vegetate with me watching movies anytime inthe next say, 10 hours, please come over. I'm lacking in movies I haven't watched at least 50 times and even more lacking in company while working on this project that has been keeping me home-bound. I understand if you can't make it, but thought I'd make the invite personal. I could also make us yaki-soba with tofu and veggies and there's still some home-made lemon ice (from the lemons harvested with you guys).

I would SO like to, but I'm off on a Road Trip today, leaving ASAP...shoulda been gone by now in fact (*much gnashing of teeth & mental self-flagellation in progress*). Initial destination: Carmel Highlands (tonight), then San Jose & Albany and various autre Bay Area destinations to visit w/fambily & friends - and see my niece dance hula & Tahitian w/her troupe/troop o'morrow night, culminating in picking up a friend flying in from WA Tuesday morning and driving down w/her on Wednesday via Hwy 1. Whew!

The Summer proper has begun and I'm about to bee very bizzy. Will be in town again starting next Wed night for less than two (2) weeks (w/various visitors from outta town wandering through during that time), then I'm gone (WA, Canada, OR, CA) 'til approx August 5, 2006. I'll give you a buzzzzz to see if'n you're around when I'm in town.

Wow! have fun and travel safely (or well, at least). I didn't realize your trip was so soon! Please be in touch if/when you have time when you get back here from your adventuring! And stories...bring stories!
