I haven't done a meme for a while, and since I happen to have the current book in progress handy, here we go:

Snarfed from Latest Things. (via lauredhel)

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123. (Or, if a short/picture book or very spoilery, try page 12, or 2.)
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next 4 sentences on your LJ along with these instructions.
5. Don't you dare dig for that "cool" or "intellectual" book in your closet! I know you were thinking about it! Just pick up whatever is closest.

I am attempting to do this vocal recording meme, but at time of writing have not yet figured out how to upload the sound file. Embedding is all very well but I need somewhere to put the thing. I fail at technology. When I do figure it out, I'll put it here. If it takes me six months to figure it out I may be forced to add a time-travelling link from a new post. Oh the shame.

ED: Upload attempt 1 (Windows media .wma file format): http://dl.dropbox.com/u/18741597/ljvoicememe.wma

I am now the proud owner of the 2 disc edition of Star Trek (2009). Director's (et al) commentary was very good*, as was the gag reel. Much Trek yet to come yet.

(*) None of this "Let's just enjoy this scene... [long pause]... [toilet flush]. Oh this actress was marvellous" crap, although you really need everyone in the same room at the same time.

I spent today alternating between extreme pain and unconsciousness. This did not make me happy.

So, under extreme duress, the thing that made me happy today was Boris the shark, who continues to give soft cuddly value above and beyond price.

Husband came home safe, even though Google maps was hilariously wrong about the location of his hotel.

1. Post about something that made you happy today even if it's just a small thing.
2. Do this everyday for eight days without fail.
3. Tag six of your friends to do the same.

Day 1: I now have a decent quantity of silver gaffer tape. Not duct tape. Not duck tape. Not yellow. Not black. Not pissy supermarket handyman size. Silver. Gaffer. Tape. All is right with the world.
