Perfect fantasy Sunday? Or realistic with kids Sunday?
I think I'd spend it with family and friends at the Huntington Museum in the Japanese Garden, letting the kids run around and play while I took pictures while visiting with friends. Maybe finish up with dinner at Cha Cha Cha, which I haven't been to in ages, but love. Then after the kids were in bed, talk to friends until the wee hours of the morning about whatever they wanted to talk about. And somehow feel no tiredness from the day. :) -
Just started "Nothing to Envy: Ordinary Lives in North Korea" by Barbara Demick .

No way, that's what anti-depressants are for! Grinding evenness, day in, day out, until your prescription runs out.

Probably family trips to Disneyland. It was so exciting to plan the trip looking over an old 70s era map of the park; everything felt huge and it was such an event at the time. My parents at least pretended to get along and for that single day, everything was perfect.

7 years old, trying to nurse a baby bird that errantly flew into our front window. The bird lasted a day before dying, and my mother and I buried it in the little "nest", really a box with tissue paper, in our backyard.
I was overwhelmed by sadness that this little, helpless, innocent creature would never fly in the sun, see its family, or do *anything* again, for no other reason but a complete accident. I couldn't *do* anything about it either.
Days are long enough for a 7 year old, but *eternity* boggled the mind. There would never be another of that bird, and I felt guilty that we hadn't done anything to keep baby birds from flying into our windows, as if we really had control over such things.
The combination of unrealistic child expectations with just a touch of understanding one thing was in no way a good thing.
I don't know that I'd even let my kids deal with that at the same age. -
I'm glad he didn't; At best, the crazies still wont believe, at worst, it's another thing to incite violence in the people we keep saying we're not at war with.

"March of the Villains" from Superman. I think that goes without saying. (But I'll say it anyway.)

Survived it pretty well actually. Had a lot of fun with kids, tried to get out as much as the rain allowed, and hit a few museums. Only got a few days off because work is slammed right now, but still if was nice.
No NY's resolution; I can barely keep non-holiday related ones. :) -
First most frivolous or first *and* then most? Gosh, so many choices, I think my brain would break with that much cash.
I think international vacation for family would be most frivolous.
But I'm a practical guy; retirement and kid's education comes first.
If it was first most frivolous, I think it have to be some group event with friends that I'd pay for. Because friends and family are worth more than all the cash. -
Hal Jordan is my favorite, having spent most comic time with him. John Stewart comes close since they've sorta rehabilitated his character over the years. Comics need more strong black characters. Third place goes to F-Sharp Bell, since the the story was excellent, and he's a good representative of all the wonderful aliens in the Green Lantern Corps.

"Be more flexible", given by a high school *substitute* counselor. I'd say 80% of the time someone saying "be more flexible" it really means "do what I want".
You really have to consider the source. There's plenty of times you *shouldn't* be flexible, especially now in these stupid environment. Sometimes you need to stick to what's right, and not be flexible. -
I'm going with Sam Rockwell currently. Amazing performances, back to the first thing I saw him in, which was Galaxy Quest. Seriously done some work as good as any Oscar winner in movies like Moon, and what does he get? Not much.

A hot air balloon being inflated outside my kindergarten classroom, just beats out the steel-welded submarine from its playground.

Not yet but plenty of time for it. I've been layed off seconds after I put my last shot in the render queue, and quit the night of an armed robbery when the bosses first words on arrival were "how much did we lose?" and not "is everyone ok?" Certainly *wished* for it a few times, especially recently.

"AI" for major motion picture.
I've seen too many bad direct to DVD, kung-fu and indie horror films to count. "None Left Standing" and "Street Trash" come to mind.
Also I have a special place for terrible, but funny because they're terrible films, like Roger Corman's "Fantastic Four" and Uwe Boll's "House of the Dead". -

Tatosky is Czech, which to the best of my research I've traced back to Prague in the late 1800s. I'm sure if I spoke the language I could discover a lot more, but I take to languages like ducks to oil, so that's right out.
Plus, to be honest, I only have occasional bursts of interest in my lineage. Most of the time I simply am not that interested, being the mutt that I am. Too many pieces to investigate, and then it all feels so egocentric.
To me, there's so many more interesting things to learn, and they're *not* me. -
Yes. :)
