From qatsi. I've done this before, but the sentence concerned was just too good to pass up on.

Instructions:
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 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.

"The lack of career opportunities for sociologists and other social scientists during the 1980s, combined with a massive expansion in business and management teaching, resulted in many students with postgraduate training in sociology and related dsciplines being forced to find work outside sociology departments."

From: Against Management, by Martin Parker.

The closest books to me at the moment are in the bookshelf behind me. I cleaned off the second computer so I could set a third computer on top of it while I repaired it. That is the usual location for the computer wisdom book pile which would normally be closest to me.

Hence: from "Color Me Beautiful", by Carol Jackson.

Some cosmetics lines are heavily weighted toward one base tone, and you may find nothing for you. Even the chemist who creates these colors is influenced by his or her own season, intuitivly. Helena Rubenstein, before her death, was actively involved with the creation of her own line of cosmetics. She was a Winter. Now I know why I always had good luck at her counter. So, it you aren't finding what you need, don't hesitate to say, "None of these is right for me", and move on to the next counter.

I bet you weren't expecting that, from me.

JFTR, it is my wife's book.

But have you found your colour yet?

[mikekellner.livejournal.com]

Yes, my favorites are purple, blue, green, and gray.

I am not sure what season that is, but I love autumn and winter.

We are of one accord. Both in colours and in seasons.
