Anonymous asked: You're trapped for five years on a deserted island, but you're not Tom Hanks. You can bring one celebrity, one book, one movie, one music album, and three personal items currently in your bedroom. What are they?
The celebrity is tough. If you bring an attractive female, the urge to procreate may be too strong to resist, and bring up baby in that cold lonely world would be hard. So I was thinking who could keep me the most entertained and also not be too hard on the eyes, and of course the answer is Darrin from I Dream Of Genie. After all, being trapped on the desert island the first time worked out pretty damn well for him.
One book? Most would say their holy book of choice. But let’s be practical. When you’re down to your last firewood, using that particular book as tinder will hardly put you in good graces with the Him, or It, or Her upstairs. And keeping with the desert island theme, I think I’d have to go with Lord of the Flies. I’d probably get some helpful advice should I decide to turn savage. You never know. Be prepared. Thats my motto.
One movie? Now, can I watch this movie, or just stare at it wistfully? And if I have a DVD player, why am I not using it to contact civilization? Well, if it’s the former, it’d probably have to be Cast Away. He builds all sorts of interesting stuff from Christmas presents from someone’s Uncle Jerry. But if it’s the latter, more wistful option, it’d be The Royal Tenenbaums. I like the idea of that movie more than the actual viewing of it, it makes me feel good inside to stare at the cover.
One music album? Easy. Beethoven’s Ninth.
Three personal items: 1) my navy Gap cardigan. Goes with frickin everything, which I assume includes a grass skirt made from fish bones and human hair. 2) My iPad. If I can’t use it to contact someone, then at least I’ll have my movies and my music and my FIFA ‘10 game. 3) My big blanket. It’d be good for those cold desert island nights, and during the day it could double as a cape for when I’m running around pretending to be Superman. Plus it smells like home. You know how much I love the smell of my bedding…
