Wish Fullfillment

[itsallovernow]

Okay, so the news tells me that Billy Crystal gets to play for the Yankees today, by virtue of it being his 60th birthday. Possibly, there are other factors involved, but I'm not interested in paying a lot more attention.

So, what would you do for a day (qualified or not) if the powers that be said,"sure, fine, whatever. Suit up and come on in."

Keep in mind, your answer does not have to be commensurate with your skill level. Causing the apocalypse is a perfectly acceptable career option.

SUPREME LEADER OF THE WORLD.

I could think of quite a few pieces of legislation and executive orders....

Musical theater! Broadway!

Do you have a particular show you'd want to do?

[nestra.livejournal.com]

Oh, lord. Something Sondheim. Sweeney or Sunday or Company or Into the Woods...

Saddle up Custom Made and ride in the Rolex Kentucky, possibly with David O'Connor coaching me. Then go out drinking with Karen O'Connor.

sigh.

Guest starring on Star Trek: The Next Generation, with the requisite Picard and/or Will liason. Something about those uniforms, man...

Just sit on the couch, or anywhere comfortable like that, and talk to Ben Browder about writing/storytelling.

Anchor the 11PM Sportscenter. A close second would be to sit on the UNC bench during a men's basketball game as a coach. But Sportscenter comes first.

Ride my Joy, on the trail and in the show ring, and have us both non-spooky and balanced so that we could do a proper run walk and a proper canter whenever we wanted. And then get off and just spend time together.

Be one of the backup singers for Pink Floyd on tour, and sing "Great Gig in the Sky" live for big arena shows...

Magazine editor.

[thassalia.livejournal.com]

For which magazine?

(I'd like to be the editor of something huge and slightly pointless and defining - Vogue, or Vanity Fair, or Rolling Stone).

[sugargroupie.livejournal.com]

I was thinking along the lines of Vanity Fair, or some hybrid that meshes the style of VF and a publication rooted in diverse culture. My mind is blanking on an example, but a little pointless, more meaningful and defining.

Re-do college for the express interest of playing for pat summitt's Lady Vols for 4 years at the shooting guard position.

[pellucid.livejournal.com]

Professional rock climber.

[fourteenlines.livejournal.com]

Act in Much Ado About Nothing opposite someone worthy of the role. Theater, not film.

Or sing backup for The Frames. Totally.

Screw the Yankees. I'd play for the Dodgers. And slide hard into Billy Crystal. *g*

[ainsley.livejournal.com]

I'd have a guest-starring role on a TV show I love.

[suenix.livejournal.com]

Be the Head Costumer on Battlestar Galactica
for the very last day of filming.

[lizlet.livejournal.com]

What the hell. Porn star. Or jazz singer. Just to find out if I'm any good at either of those things.

[scorpy808.livejournal.com]

Well here is one I just couldn't resist ...

archaeologist
-or-
stunt woman!

[pdxscaper.livejournal.com]

Ha...I can't choose.

Play NHL hockey with my favorite player in the universe, Joe Sakic and score the winning goal on an assist from Joey.

Or

Act in a kick ass action movie with Ben Browder.

Ack, I can't decide! Meep.

Ok, Achaeologist at Ur discovering an ancient library. And speaking of suiting up, off to see the wizard through a stargate, without any bad guys on the horizon. :)

Have a relaxed conversation over a glass of wine with Neil Finn (lead singer of Crowded House) about music and lyrics and the state of the world in general :)

Something very close to that did happen last year, but I'd love more :)

Live on a mountain ( a very green, well-hydrated mountain with streams) far away from anyone, and benevolently but strictly control a colony of hand-picked genetic resources in order to eventually breed a living god. Preferably, the genetic sources would be from my favorite fictional realities, but I can make do with kidnapped Olympic athletes, brilliant scientists, assorted psychics and beautiful persons. Also, Eric Stoltz and Bridget Fonda.

I love you Kerne. You scare me, but I love you!
