Fun Friday–Deserted Island Meme
Believe it or not, with all the stress I was under this week, I actually came up with an idea for a meme for Fun Friday. It hit me Monday night, the first time I was able to get out of the house since the whole car-breaking-down fiasco, as I was running my hand over the cover of the single-volume, hardcover copy of The Complete Novels of Jane Austen.
This is one of those posts that you can do yourself—either here in the comments or on your own blog or FB notes page (just be sure to come back and post a link if you do yours elsewhere).
So here’s what I came up with . . .
If I were stuck on a deserted island (not one with smoke monsters and Others and time travel), I would want:
Book (other than the Bible):
Person:
Food item:
Beverage (other than water—there’s plenty):
Celebrity Chef:
Three CDs*:
Three Movies*:
Two Personal Care Products:
Three Articles of Clothing (other than underwear):
Piece of Technology*:
Wild Card:
*Because, of course, you’d have a CD/DVD player and a mysterious source of unlimited electricity and/or batteries!
Here are mine:
Book (other than the Bible): Norton Anthology of British Literature
Person: My Mom
Food item: Beef, any variety
Beverage (other than water—there’s plenty): Tea (cuz I can drink it cold or hot)
Celebrity Chef: Robert Irvine, of course!
Three CDs*: Italian Love Songs (Dean Martin), Unaccompanied Cello Suites (Yo-Yo Ma–because I need music to sleep at night), and The Very Best of Dean Martin (by um . . . Dean Martin!)
Three Movies*: De-Lovely, Star Trek (2009), and The Philadelphia Story
Two Personal Care Products: Toothpaste and toothbrush
Three Articles of Clothing (other than underwear): Favorite pair of jeans, LSU 2007 Championship T-Shirt, long-sleeved denim shirt
Piece of Technology: Laptop!
Wild Card: Air mattress—because I don’t sleep on the ground!
