hot (real) apple cider, malarkey, being not cold, puppies, animals from the (most recent) ice age, snacks, existentialism, making up words, the tappan zee bridge (and not to exclude other bridges), cars, trains, airplanes, and other means of transportation, hand-lettering, deciduous trees (particularly when they're yellow or orange), 19th century scrimshaw, re-finding constellations, adventures and experiments/anything with a surprise ending, silly people and things, curling up/napping by the fireplace, making lists, cats, grammar, dancing, hot air balloons, "applecake", libraries, discussing frivolous topics at length, activism, things that smell nice (especially soaps that smell like biscotti), non-sequiturs, wildflowers, all varieties of natural phenomena- especially elephants, people who play instruments well, vitamins, tea, elaborate and/or handy kitchen devices and things, good books, guitar, dancing, piano, inflatable waving tube guys, segway cops, muppets, and anything/anyone that looks, sounds, acts, or resembles in any way a muppet.
largely but not exclusively: the music my friends make. jazz, blues, funk, swing, folk, bossa nova, rock n' roll (of all consistencies -soft and hard, soft being like phil collins and hard being 'core and not being nu-metal), awesome guitarists such as jose feliciano or al dimeola (or really anyone who can tear up la malagueña like they can), big bands - american/latin, electronic -80s, house/drum&bass, atmospheric-, rap, r&b (especially from the 90s, but not really), hip/trip/slip/ hop, much of that which is categorized under the "indie rock" description, especially if it's clever, and/or experimental, classical (particularly piano), and i'll even listen to metal if it's sweet and/or themed.
many.
