Music:
Anything that doesn't annoy me or hurt my ears.
Movies:
Donnie Darko, The Matrix, The Big Chill,LOTR; Kung Fu Hustle; Napoleon Dynamite; Brokeback Mountain; Nanny McPhee; almost anything PG-13.
Television:
Roseanne, Golden Girls, The Office, My Name is Earl, and all of the teaser porn on HBO. I'm sure there are others things, but I'm too lazy to think about it.
Books:
The Grapes of Wrath; LOTR; Harry Potter series (anxiously awaiting Book 7); anything by David Sedaris, Dorothy Allison, Arthur Miller, Tennessee Williams, Pauline Reage, Erika Lopez, John Steinbeck. Geek Love, Jonathan Livingston Seagull, blah blah blah.

People who are thankful for what they have even when they don't have anything.
