Maria Sharapova: Wins Silver at the Olympic Finals.


Another Women’s Gold Medal Tennis Match has come and bit the dust. The Olympic Finals are much like the grand slams of professional tennis, except they have so much more national pride….meaning that most of the viewers are actually watching Tennis for a change.

 (Take a look at these photos provided by London2012.com . I don’t know who took these, but I am pretty sure they photographed them with a potato.) 


Serena Williams took Gold: Who the Fuck Cares? 
 Maria Sharapova took Silver This was really beating me up. I frequently state that I am the world’s largest Maria Sharapova fan, not in size…just in the size of my heart! Bam, suck that Williams! Anyway, on a serious note, I was really hoping for Maria to win her first Gold Medal at the Olympics. In the famous words of Will Ferrell “There is nothing wrong with silver,” but fuck that noise, I wanted my Maria to win Gold. Instead, that boring tater salad Serena Williams took gold. That’s the kryptonite of my Olympics.


In other news: hailing from the nation of Belarus, Victoria Azarenka took Bronze. That has to give some hope and glory to the tiny Eastern European nation. As of now Belarus has only 5 medals, and only one gold….so congrats to Victoria for the making some noise for Belarus, and congrats to Maria for gaining silver, and THAT’S IT!

Questions for You: 
Seriously, who the fuck took these photos?
Azarenka looks the best.

"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!
