Deserted island fantasy wish list.
It is getting closer to my time of the year, the time of cold and snow and more darkness. So, instead, for your own good, let’s go somewhere else. Let’s visit a deserted island. Let’s go there now. What esoteric things would you bring to a deserted island? Naturally, this is a fantasy list, so certain things, impossible or implausible things, are allowed. Here is what I am bringing:
Smells
I am sure that there are smells I would never tire of — smells of home and smells of babies and puppies. But, if backed into a deserted island corner (pardon my mixed metaphors), I would bring three smells with me: lilacs, coffee and that smell of rain — during and just after the rain.
Movies
It is a matter of personal taste, right? Of course. But there are movies that I can watch again and again, memorize every line, repeat it along with the actors, and never get tired of saying the lines. The movies I would watch on the deserted island would be: Raiders of the Lost Ark and My Favorite Year. Also, possibly, The Godfather, Parts I and II, but I am just being greedy on these last ones.
Fruit
This one is sort of strange, because after all, we are on a (probably) tropical island. In theory, we are surrounded by fruit, bananas, coconuts, mangos, they all grow wild around us…
