Tough Questions

You're stranded on a desert island. Three things you'd want to have with you (no people!):
1. Books
2. Journal & pen
3. Flint to make FIRE!

Three necessities for your purse or bag:
1. Lip gloss
2. Crackberry (or hopefully the iPhone will be my new Crackberry of '08)
3. Gum

You have a long plane ride ahead of you. Three books and three CDs you'd bring:
1. Zadie Smith - White Teeth
2. Sandra Cisneros - The House on Mango Street
3. JK Rowling - Harry Potter & The Prisoner of Azkaban or maybe the final book
P.S. Plane ride books are difficult in that they can't be too heavy (literally & figuratively) but still need to be meaty enough to combat all the distractions...

1. The Beatles - Abbey Road
2. The Police - Message In A Box (Ok, this is kind of cheating - I know that)
3. PJ Harvey - Stories From the City, Stories From the Sea
P.S. Three albums is not enough - need some girly pop & rap to round out the set - I'd add some Missy Elliott & Madonna

Let's morbidly say it's 8 am and you find out you've got 24 hours to live. Before then, you'd like to:
1. Give & get lots & lots of hugs, including from my dog
2. Rent or buy a convertible and drive (hopefully it's a sunny day)
3. Listen to my favorite music and dine and drink and dance surrounded by loved ones

Along the same morbid lines, let's say you find out you're going to die a year from now. Without repeating items from above, the top three items on your to-do list are:
1. Write letters to my family & friends telling them how much I love & appreciate them
2. Write a novel!
3. Visit many foreign lands & eat lots of yummy food

Your turn.  The cliche deal is, we should be doing this stuff now.  So, clearly, I need to buy a convertible :)
