Top 10 Reasons to Get Excited for the 2012 Olympics : #10 Nastia Liukin Commentary

Hello, and welcome to the Top 10 Reasons to Get Excited for the 2012 Olympics…Yes, this is just as important as it sounds.It turns out that Nastia Liukin did not make the Olympic team for a second time. ESPN reports that during her qualifier, the 2008 All Around Gymnastics Gold Medalist did nothing but fall flat.

This is a real shame considering I spent the entire 2008 Olympics masturbating to Nastia Liukin….now before you judge me on that, I was a lot younger back then….

..........seriously…..

...........In other words, instead of participating as an athlete for this Olympics Nastia Liukin will serve as a supporter to the Girls’ gymnastics team and do some occasional commentary on the sport.

That’s cool with me, as long as I get my moments…I mean, her moments.

Fuck, I’m such a creep.

Anyway, I guess Women’s Gymnastics is the preferred sport of creeps like me…..song young-looking, but still legal and all. Well, Nastia I wish you the best during your time at NYU this fall. I already have your address.

Questions for You:

What is your favorite Gymnastics event? Male or Female?

Are you even the smallest bit excited for the 2012 games?

And does the name Carly Patterson mean anything to you at all?

"Mon Soleil" - Ashley Park

If there's anything people take away from my piss-poor legacy, I hope it's what a huge, unabashed fan of "Emily in Paris" I am and will continue to be. People love "90 Day Fiancee," "The Bachelor," and other garbage - allow me "Emily," which is at least harmless, kind of goofy fluff (which does, unfortunately, lean into some stereotypes, as the country of Ukraine knows ). I have already watched Season 2 twice. And honestly my favorite part of this show (despite my crush on Camille Razart and Lily Collins channeling Audrey Hepburn hardcore ) is Ashley Park. This woman has superstar written all over her. She's a bona fide Broadway star, and "Emily in Paris" has served as her pivot into the zeitgeist. "Emily in Paris" is also showcasing her vocal prowess front and center this season, with her covering BTS, "All By Myself," "Sympathtique," and Marilyn Monroe. But the real standout performance is th

"Anchors" - AM Higgins

Here's a nice breezy, almost sensual song from AM Higgins (the solo project of musician Annie Toth) to start your Tuesday off right. Her debut album "Hymning" will be out November 5th on Victorialand Records. The album was mixed by Casey Foubert, a frequent collaborator of Sufjan Stevens. The album "captures the first years of moving from an American city to rural France." Sounds like "Hymning" will be a welcome escape from the world we live in right now, especially considering that Annie Toth counts poets Mary Oliver and Thomas Merton as influences.

Summer Playlist - 2022 Edition!

It's truly the little things in life that make a world of difference. And for me, that means my summer playlist! Behold, I have put together 2022's edition. It includes cuts from artists like: - Mitski - Uffie - Johnny Orlando - Kylie Minogue + Jessie Ware - Florence and the Machine (who put out a fantastic album this year after a long dry spell of kind of "meh" records. Her pairing with Jack Antonoff worked out quite well!) - Bilal - Harry Styles (he has some catchy music!) - KATE BUSH DUH - And of course, Lana. It's also available on Apple Music, but since I recognize a lot of folks use Spotify, here's that link. Enjoy!
