I am picking and choosing topics from My Facts post and one of my favourite topics is the media and pop culture. I like everything from lighthearted Buzzfeed quizzes on how well you know Disney lyrics to serious science fiction like Battlestar Galactica. Here are some more things I like in pop culture!
I love anything in the action genre: superheroes, procedural dramas, martial arts, etc. I will watch anything with Jason Statham or Liam Neeson in it; I watched Furious 7 because I heard Jason Statham was the bad guy. My boyfriend makes fun of me all the time for watching cop dramas, but I love anything in the procedural drama genre; it’s all about mystery and guns! This can range from “whodunit” dramas like NCIS and Law and Order, to sci-fi mysteries like Alphas or Eureka. I love to laugh and I’m a girl, so of course I have to like romantic comedies. I’m joking, but I actually do love romantic comedies. The last one I watched was on Netflix and it was called One Small Hitch. I also just love any comedy, as long as it’s not cheesy. I really love Parks and Rec, @midnight, and Psych. I also love anything animated, especially if it’s from Pixar or Studio Ghibli (the studio that Hayao Miyazaki started). My favourite Pixar movie is definitely Big Hero 6 (and I’m super stoked that there’s gonna be a sequel!) and my favourite Studio Ghibli movie is The Cat Returns.
For books, I usually stick to fiction like mysteries, sci-fi, or romance, but I’ve been known to read some autobiographies, memoirs, and self-help books! I follow a lot of blogs, and I use Feedly as my RSS reader; I read everything from beauty blogs like Girl with Curves and Profresh Style, to design blogs like Design Milk, and The Dieline. I also follow animal blogs like Cute Overload, crochet blogs like Twinkie Chan, and food blogs like Brown Eyed Baker. My favourite website, though is a tie between Nerdist and Brit + Co because they’re both equally awesome!
I am also a comic book fan! I’m not a hardcore reader, and I don’t have a lot of facts crammed in my head because frankly there are other things I should be remembering besides what a character has or has not done. That being said, I am 100% more of a Marvel person than a DC person. I am a huge Deadpool fan, and I enjoyed the Marvel Civil War series when it first came out way back in 2006. My brother actually tuned me into it, so it’s another reason I hold it very close to my heart.
Now onto celebrities. In the first episode of my podcast with Sowmya, we talked about each of our Top 5s, which is basically a list of your top five celebrities. Here are my two, for both women and men.
Women | Men |

In my original post, I said these will be the celebrities I will be fangirling about most often. I also included Chris Pratt in my facts post because frankly I’m thinking of dropping Tom Hiddleston and putting Chris Pratt up there (but don’t tell Sowmya!). Plus my boyfriend has a total Chris Pratt vibe going on right now so that doesn’t hurt :)
You can read a detailed version of my list here, including reasons for why and how I began to like them!
I don’t like gossip but if I heard David Boreanaz cheated on his wife a couple of years ago (which is totally what I heard), I will totally talk about that.
That’s all I can think of right now! I hope this provided a little insight into who I am and what I like to talk about!
