I'm tired, holed up in bed resting after a day out with The Daughter. So what better way to spend my time than doing this meme:

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next 4-7 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.

This is from Jancee Dunn's absorbing, very well written "But enough about me - Adventures in Celebsville."

actionreplay, do you want to read it?

Oh, and points to anyone who guesses the Celeb Dunn is interviewing. Hint: She is in a movie that opens this weekend in the UK.
