Jay Buhner, the icons of the '80's--or at least John Cusack, the guy (or girl) who invented guacamole, Sigourney Weaver, my future husband--whomever and wherever he is, the girl (or guy) who invented flavored lip gloss, Ron Clark, someone who'll teach me how to juggle, a good dentist...
Dave Matthews Band, Coldplay, Pete Yorn, U2, Jeff Buckley, Jason Mraz, Foo Fighters, lots of '80's stuff (pretty much all of it, actually), Sting, Peter Gabriel, The Beatles, Floyd, Zeppelin, old Motown and R&B (Stevie Wonder, Diana Ross, George Benson, Al Green, etc.), The Boss, Billy Joel, Depeche Mode, The Samples, Tori Amos, Incubus, Fuel, Dashboard Confessional, Michael Buble, and yes, J.T. (a guilty pleasure, I suppose).
The original Superman (I and II) and Star Wars films, anything Chrisopher Nolan or Robert Zemekis, Finding Neverland, True Romance, Roxanne, Guffman, Swingers, Napoleon Dynamite, As Good As It Gets, The Breakfast Club, Heathers, The Way We Were, The Natural, When Harry Met Sally, Muriel's Wedding, The Neverending Story, The Lord of the Rings films, most of Kevin Smith's stuff, Love Actually, Little Miss Sunshine, Blade Runner, Gladiator, Labyrinth, Somewhere in Time, Fargo, Amelie, What the Bleep Do We Know?, The Wedding Singer, Shawshank Redemption, Teen Wolf, Dr. Strangelove, Tootsie, Groundhog Day, The Karate Kid, Seven, Crash, The Philadelphia Story...
The Office, 24, The Amazing Race, Sex and the City, Seinfeld, Family Guy, South Park, Lost, Will and Grace, and those shows I no longer watch but were influential during my growing up years (Family Ties, Growing Pains, Who's the Boss?, My Two Dads...)
Mostly the classics (Huck Finn, Catcher in the Rye, The Color Purple), but lately I read all kinds of literature. David Foster Wallace and Elizabeth Gilbert are current faves.
