Closest booky wook

My blogging activities seem to have been reduced to participating in memes found on planet Ubuntu. Oh well, here goes:

Back to his apartment in Clerkenwell, a good hot shower and a takeaway sea bass in tamarind sauce from the Thai place round the corner, followed by the latest of the Miss Marple remakes on ITV.

— Relentless by Simon Kernick

How to participate in this most excellent of memes:

  1. Grab the nearest book.
  2. Open it to page 56.
  3. Find the fifth sentence.
  4. Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.
  5. Don’t dig for your favorite book, the cool book, or the intellectual one: pick the CLOSEST.

    This is where the body's vital energy (qi or ki) accumulates, and it is from the dantien that the life force flows out to nourish and energize the body (into and through the acupuncture channels).

    For example, late collisions will occur if a station at one end of the link is configured for half-duplex operation, and a switch port on the other end of the link is configured for full-duplex.

    "Let's get in as near as we can - you stand by the lead," was his formula; so I made false casts, tripped up in the slack, sent rivers of water up my sleeves, and commited all the other gaucheries that beginners in the art commit, while the sand showed whiter beneath the keel, till Davies regretfully drew off and shouted: "Ready about, centre-plate down," and I dashed down to the trappings of that diabolical contrivance, the only part of the Dulcibella's equipment that I hated fiercely to the last. - The Riddle of the Sands, Erskine Childers
