The Strokes fourth album, that I wrote about at length a few days ago is streaming up on their website now!!!
In celebration of this extremely 80s album, here’s a picture of Albert in a sombrero.
“Two Kinds of Happiness” is definitely part Tom Petty’s “Don’t Come Around Here No More,... Comment - Like

I’m an obsessive. I’ve long been an obsessive. I’ll continue to be an obsessive. I don’t read band messageboards or post obsessively my thoughts and views on all things, because generally I let all ideas formulate and terminate in my brain. In my head are some of the best essays and thoughts... Comment - Like

Last week we mentioned the sad news that Aaron Peirsol, one of OlyVil’s favorite swimmers of the past decade, officially announced his retirement. We didn’t say much about it because it was a shock, and I was planning to put together a post about it but, you know, life gets in the way.
Anyway, ... Comment - Like

Today we’re taking it back to the summer of ’96, when I was a wee lass aged 12, watching MTV all day long and hoping that one day Simon Rex would whisk me away to his private beach house where he would fight with Jonathan Taylor Thomas and Devon Sawa over who got to kiss me awkwardly under the s...

I am a fan of realistic television. Not reality television (although I love Top Chef, and have watched a few episodes here and there of Kitchen Nightmares, Tabatha’s Salon Takeover.. and yeah, a few minutes of Jersey Shore), but the shaky cam, make you sob like a baby kind. Friday Night Lights doe... Comment - Like

This blog has a long and well-documented (since LiveJournal, people!) history with Australian swimming champion, Ian Thorpe. He has kept us utterly captivated with his athletic prowess, dashing good looks, and amazing ability to occasionally shoot daggers out of his eyes during medal ceremonies.

So, we’re on episode 3 of MTV Skins and I still am not liking it. Since I’m a glutton for punishment, though, I am continuing to liveblog this hot mess, simultaneously hoping against hope that it eventually stops sucking so bad.
Tonight’s episode focuses on 12 year old Chris, who is surprisin... Comment - Like

Liveblogging awards shows can be the most painful thing ever, so I’m not entirely sure how I will handle this. I will definitely be posting my predictions and who I want to win as they announce each award. I like the SAGs, they’re fun. Okay, I like all award shows. Minus the Teen Choice/People...

Hello, 2011 in Olyvil.
I’m going to give this SNL liveblogging a try again. The past few episodes I’ve seen have been decent, and I love Jesse Eisenberg and Nicki Minaj. I’m unsure of how I feel about Jesse Eisenberg hosting SNL, he seems softspoken (and his SNL ads have done nothing to prov... Comment - Like

I only just was able to sit down and watch the second episode of MTV Skins. Didn’t have the energy (or interest, to be honest) to liveblog, but I’ll leave you with my thoughts. This one’s a quickie. Bullet points (and spoilers) after the jump!
So, last week I complained about how poorly acted... Comment - Like

IRL gets in the way of my Liveblogging, as does not having a working DVR at the moment. Eff. But watch this space because there will be a recap/not-so-liveblog coming up later tonight.
Will this episode be better than the super super crappy premiere? Who knows! Did you catch it? Tell me how it went... Comment - Like

I wasn’t able to post about the Golden Globes, because I had friends over, ate guacamole, and generally DID NOT CARE ABOUT ANY OF IT.
I liked Natalie Portman a lot. I did. She seemed like a nice girl, but during the awards season, all I have wanted to do is shut her up. Since we live in this pos... Comment - Like

Oh my God. Ohhhh my God. I have never driven home from work so fast. I made it with minutes to spare before plopping myself on the couch to catch the 11pm repeat of the premiere of MTV Skins. I am READY FOR THIS, except I really really have to pee but don’t want to miss anything. CRAP.

Since this Olympics-related blog took a weird turn into me writing about SNL for awhile, I feel like my first post of 2011 should be about SNL.
Also, Eamon Sullivan's torso

Our last post was in March of 2010. And we were congratulating Sandra Bullock on her Oscar for The Net.
Lots of things have happened since then. Clearly. For starters, Sandra Bullock got divorced!
Stuff happened in swimming AND gymnastics, and I paid no attention!
I became addicted to soccer! ... Comment - Like
