L U P S C H A D A . C O M                                      an exercise in self-indulgence

As everyone knows, when one is preparing to be stranded on a desert island, one must select only the most favorite of favorites to bring along. Because as long as one is considering the complete plausibility of being marooned in a tropical paradise, one must certainly consider the wisdom of packing light. That's just logical, you know?

Incidentally, my favorite hobby, as those very close to me know, is making lists. So I shall. Here are my top fifteens (and I use fifteen very loosely), so I'll be ready for the inevitable desert-island existence we will all someday face.
