My normal playlist sounds like an episode of Grey's Anatomy,honestly. New & rising artists are really what gets me. People to seek out: Ingrid Michaelson, Joshua Radin, Alexi Murdoch, The Weepies, Amy Winehouse, Greg Laswell, Cary Brothers, and Hem. And then go listen to Ingrid again!
For the rest of my music, mostly female vocalists like Sarah McLaughlan, Annie Lennox, Loreena McKennitt, Indigo Girls, Flemming & John, Christina Aguilera, Pink, Babs, Cranberries, Dixie Chicks, Dolly Parton, Norah Jones, Natalie Merchant, carole King, and Cher.
The boys shouldn't feel left out, though! I'm looking at you, Robbie Williams, Barenaked Ladies, Maroon 5, Glen Phillips (as well as Toad the Wet Sprocket), Nickle Creek, The Cure, Depeche Mode, Pet Shop Boys, REM, U2, Peter Gabriel, Marc Cohn, Jane's Addiction, Stone Temple Pilots, Pearl Jam, Jack Johnson, Jason Mraz, and Rascal Flatts.
Always remember the classics like Nat, Dean, Frank, Bing, Billie, Ella, and Judy.
Fan of musical thetre as well.
Also loving Mash-ups. Send links to your favorites!
The two greatest songs ever are Solsbury Hill by Peter Gabriel and Halleluja by kd lang (written by Leonard Cohen)

Movies
I'm a fan of trilogies: Star Wars (classic trilogy), Lord of the Rings, and Pirates of the Carribean. Classic films rule my world, as well: All About Eve, The Philadelphia Story, Bringing Up Baby, Casablanca, all of the Katherine Hepburn & Spencer Tracy pairings, and the Thin Man films. Current guilty pleasures include Mean Girls, Bring It On, Legally Blonde, the Italian Job, and Jason Bourne flicks. I am also getting into Wu Xia films such as Hero, House of Flying Daggers, Kung Fu Hustle, and Shaolin Soccer.
Television
Shows EVERYONE should watch: Battlestar Galactica, Heroes, Grey's Anatomy, LOST, and Amazing Race. I also watch How I Met Your Mother, Desperate Housewives, The New Adventures of Old Christine, The OC, Extreme Makeover - Home Edition, Best Week Ever, Good Morning America, and, yes, One Life to Live.
Love Joss Whedon shows (Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Angel, and Firefly). I have Veronica Mars season 1, but haven't watched yet.
I will always mourn the premature cancellation of EVERWOOD. Ephram, Andy, Amy, Bright, Hannah, etc - we hardly knew ya.
Books
All Marvel comics, anything by Augusten Burroughs, David Sedaris, M.R. Sellars, Kelley Armstrong, and Pat Conroy. Big fan of the Harry Potter series, Weiss/Hickman Dragonlance books, biographies on James Dean and Katharine Hepburn, and William Goldman books. About to dive into the Song of Ice & Fire series by George R.R. Martin.

“The Reunion” isn't just about answering all the questions that arose in the wake of Mockingbird's return. “We'll be moving forward as much as humanly possible, while still trying to answer questions to people's satisfaction,” McCann explained. “At the end of the four issues, if your question still hasn't been answered, find me at a convention and I'll tell you everything, because I have it all written out and I'll tell you about anything that may not have made it into the book as clearly or linearly as you may have been looking for.
A tip of the hat to you sir for this. Making sure EVERY fan is satisfied is the mark of a true pro or someone glutting for punishment. Either way... it's classy!
Just caught the latest article about "The Reunion" on CBR. I love your take on the characters! And, put me down as a new fan of Bobbi's new look! Have a Happy (and safe) New Year, Jim!
