1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next 3 sentences on your blog 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.
6. Tag three people.

I think it's serendipitious that I chose that book (or it was chosen for me) since, right after I moved to Seattle, I would meet with people to chant Robert Gass' song Om Namaha Shivaya. Now, I can't get that song out of my mind (which is a good thing)!
Okay, I tag popecrunch, pixxelpuss, and dreamline.
