October Favorites: Reese’s Candy Converter & More ‘Narnia’ by Netflix
Before we begin this October Favorites post:
IF YOU ARE ELIGIBLE TO VOTE AND HAVE NOT YET DONE SO, KINDLY DROP EVERYTHING NOW AND GO TO YOUR POLLING PLACE. YES, IT’S THAT SERIOUS. GO FREAKING VOTE. LIKE, NOW. THANK YOU.
With that out of the way, let’s just jump right into my favorites in pop culture and entertainment for October 2018.
Favorite News Articles

Favorite Music
1. “Panoramic Girl” by Young the Giant. Strangely, this beautiful ballad is the only song I really like from their new album.

September Favorites: #DoTheLilo & ‘Avatar: The Last Airbender’ Live-Action Series
September 2018 is one of those months I’d prefer not to remember. It just reinforced my hatred for politics.
Anyway, let’s just jump right into my favorites in pop culture and entertainment for September, shall we?
Favorite News Articles
1. #DoTheLilo. Umm, okay, sure. Idk if this dance will really catch on here though, Lindsay. Maybe in Greece?

3. Maroon 5 is performing for half-time at Super Bowl LIII. I AM SO HYPE.
Favorite Music
1. “Entropy” by Supa Bwe ft. Dounia. The fact that this featured artist is from Queens is making this even more amazing for me!
2. “Damn” by Christine and the Queens. “What must a woman do?” you ask? Where do I begin?

June Favorites: Furious Factious Pot Washers & “TV In the Morning” by DNCE
June was a mix of mourning and adventure.
We lost two great figures, one from the fashion world (Kate Spade) and another from the food industry (Anthony Bourdain). This really made everyone wake up and realize that mental health is a serious issue plaguing our society.
There were, though, a few amazing things that happened in June. Let’s rewind my favorites in pop culture and entertainment last month:
Favorite News Articles
1. WE ARE ALL FURIOUS FACTIOUS POT WASHERS. Thank you, The Cut, for calling me out on my inherent nature to get pissed off about and mull over nonsense.
2. John Legend is not having it with this child separation situation. So don’t dare ask him about Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ dinners. You won’t like the answer.
3. Saudi women are now licensed to drive! Or, rather, can now obtain a license to drive. Either way, it’s about damned time!
4. An overdue congratulations is in order for Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson. I think they’ll be fine if they get comfortable in their engagement for a year and a half or so.
Favorite Music
1. “TV in the Morning” by DNCE. Ugh, yes please. So smooth, so right.

March Favorites: Bachelor Arie Banned & #MarchforOurLives
Okay, so I know I always joke about the saying that goes “March comes in like a lion and out like a lamb,” but this year it legitimately did.
The beginning of the month was so rough, especially with all the non-stop snow storms. I could not deal. I don’t think I’ve ever been more annoyed with my life than I was at the start of March. Things mellowed out around March 20th or so, which was nice.
March brought some harsh realities to light in the pop culture and entertainment world, and rightfully so. Let’s take a look my faves for March 2018:
Favorite News Articles
1. The Bachelor‘s Arie gets banned from Minnesota. Damn straight. He deserves it after what he did to Becca.
2. #MarchforOurLives. Thank you, Pope Francis, for encouraging the youth to continue fighting to end gun violence.
3. “Shero” Barbies! I want one of each, please!
4. Chrissy Teigen brings an emotional support casserole on a plane. Brb, bookmarking this recipe for later.
Favorite Music
1. “Rotation” by Fickle Friends. Now THIS is what I call feel-good music! This band sounds like Great Goof Fine OK and Haim had a baby. OMJ. I so want to see these guys in concert!
2. “Figure A” by Tim Atlas. So old school funk I can’t handle it. Ah. Maze. Balls.
3. “Something” by Henry Green. I’ll definitely succumb.
