On Thursday evening I badly burned the roof of my mouth on a piece of pizza.
In honor of the subsequent pain I felt, I am now going to think of 9 more things more painful than burning your mouth…

Be Kind to the Elderly
Here’s a friendly reminder to be kind to the elderly.
Dust in the Wind? Or just Kansas?
Kansas City was surprising tonight. And a bit shocking!
Kara busted out in a British accent, Paula made sense for once, and Randy was just phoning it in as usual. But the most shocking part was that a lot of people went through for the wrong reasons tonight….Very weird.
Simon? Where were you today to keep the quality control up?
Arizona? Try Awful-zona.
Tonight’s premiere was a great way to start the season. In fact, I will say very little at this stage, and let the images and video speak for itself! … but first…
… Simon flips off America! What a great way to start off Season 8!!!
American Idol Premieres TONIGHT!
WhiteEyebrows and Simon will be there, will you?
Stuff I Will Do For the Rest of My Life
About a week ago, my fiance surprised me by going over to my house on her day off and doing some cleaning.
Now, I’m a pretty clean person – especially for a bachelor – but there’s one thing I’ve never been ‘anal’ enough to do, and that is to keep the hard water stains from accumulating on the shower glass.
It’s just a futile thing. It’s an uphill battle. In “Man vs. Nature”, nature will win every time.
Well, she spent what must have been a very long time scrubbing the glass in the shower and removing the hard water spots. Then, she hung a simple instrument of torture inside the shower:
Retraction
I’m an idiot. The inaguration isn’t for another week.
Wishful thinking, huh… oh well. One more week for George.
Charge me twice, shame on…
There’s an old saying:
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me!
I suggest a corollary:
Charge me once, shame on you. Charge me twice, shame on me!
Well, Apple and iTunes have done it!
Apple recently announced at MacWorld that the iTunes store is going to start selling only DRM free music. And – of course – for those who had already bought music – there is an upgrade option!
So I logged into my iTunes account today and this is what I found:
Yes. This looks like a great deal – for only $15.30 I can upgrade 87 of my songs to DRM free! No more entering usernames and passwords, and no more Apple big brother tracking my music. (well, except for the signatures they embed in the file still…)
But hey… wait a second… I ALREADY bought this content! Why do I have to buy it again? I’m not getting hardly anything different – but somehow they’ve found a way to justify charging me again for the same stuff.
I have written about this before – I think the world and internet should move toward a pay for content approach: any content, any device, any network. Who’s with me? Why should I buy the same content over and over again? (This is for you Disney film lovers who keep buying the xxth Anniversary Edition of each film when it comes out, and who’ll do it again when they release them on BluRay.)
I Love Trash
Dear WhiteEyebrows Readers,
Today’s post is to extol and expound my love for something that I use every day.
