Book: The Little Engine That Could
Disc: No Cure For Cancer by Denis Leary
Painting: This book I have where it's these drawing of Hanna Barbera characters and you take a wet brush to the pages and suddenly there's color. It's so far beyond art that it's almost genius.
Meal: Super Sized #7
Movie Police Academy 2

Book: William S. Burroughs, collected essays and short stories. I know there's a book out there, but I forget what it's called. Probably 'The Collected Essays and Short Stories of William S. Burroughs'.

Album: George Harrison, All Things Must Pass. 1971.

Painting: Woman With A Parasol, Claude Monet. 1875.

Meal: Greek. Baklava for dessert.

Movie: Decalogue, Krystof Keiszlowski. 1990 or something.

Irony! Who could have expected it?

Dylan wrote:Book: Complete works of Shakespeare, not sure what edition. Preferably one similar to the Penguin Classics series, with really nicely-done footnotes and great essays.
Disc: Fear Of A Black Planet - Public Enemy. It's still revealing itself to me after all these years, and maybe with all this time on my hands, I'll finally get to the bottom.
Painting: A specially-commisioned piece by On Takawa made of the day I was stranded.
Meal: Indian
Movie: Tribulations 99 by Craig Baldwin. Similar to the Public Enemy aesthetic, there's plenty there to keep me entertained.

Fantastic choices! Two of them were my runners-up, the other three would have been if they had occurred to me. I hope you end up on the next island over.

Book: The Riverside Shakespeare might take a while to finish...plus they bear repeat readings, so that ain't a bad choice...

Disc: I never seem to get tired of "Kind of Blue" by Miles Davis & co....seems to cover all of the human emotions, so good for any mood...

Movie: Maybe "The Apartment" with Jack Lemmon & Shirley McLaine?

Meal: Italian Hoagie from a Philadelphia deli, with some Stewart's Cherry Cream soda.

Oh, forgot painting: Maybe something by Kandinsky, to accompany the Miles Davis record?

here we go:
book - ulysses
record - probly coltrane, _live in seattle_ (oops, that's two cds...) uh, how about coltrane, _live at birdland_?
painting - desert island living demands something not so figurative as faves of mine like richter, picasso, etc. how's about a rothko (boring, i know, but it's amazing in person, and what do i care about having stereotypical tastes if i'm on a desert island???)
meal - morningstar farms fake chikn wings, penne w/ pesto and a salad..
movie - godard, contempt: that and ulysses are the easiest choices to make. bye-bye!

book- Finnegan's Wake, James Joyce. Shakespeare, Ulysses, and the Beckett Trilogy are all interchangable here. Each so good and they get better and better. But I've always wanted to sit down with this one for a couple of years, so now may be the time to do it. I may/most likely will live to regret this.

audio disc- I don't care. I'll flip a coin for either Fragile by Yes or Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan. Don't care, don't care.

painting- You can go ahead and hang that Mondrian over there on that palm tree

food- Thai food, anyway I can get it.

movie- If I'm stranded on an island, Harold and Maude will suit me just fine.
