Meeting smart, interesting new people, good movies, good music, cats, changing the world, etc.
Smart, fun, sexy people who live in San Francisco or are visiting San Francisco.
Pink Floyd and Paul Simon are among my favorites. Massive Attack, Everything but the Girl, Gipsy Kings...I listen to KFOG (you can hear them at KFOG.com), that should help you figure things out.
Shawshank Redeption, When Harry Met Sally, Closet Land, Life as a House, Bringing Up Baby, and Together come to mind. I also suggest people see My Flesh and Blood.
CSI and anything to do with the law.
The Rainbow Goblins, Inferno, Animal Dreams, Jelly Beans for Breakfast, An Interview with the Vampire, Millions of Cats, Come to Me: Stories (everybody should read this book, or at least the first story: "Love is not a Pie"), The Color Purple, Me Talk Pretty One Day and Running With Scissors to name a few...
All the strong womyn in the world, Ghandi, environmentalists, people who advocate for the poor, the weak, the sick, the animals... you get the idea.
