Have you been sucked in by the Olympics? Can’t seem to turn the TV off, even when it’s 2am and your eyes are slamming shut? Does all the intense drama, excitement, blood, sweat, and tears have you on the edge of your seat?
I just hope you didn’t miss this stunning performance…

Really… it’s no fair that the women have different events than the men. Plus, they get to wear cute little hair accessories. I say, “Equal Gymnastics Rights for Men!”

So, I finally caved in and started watching a few Olympic competitions. NBC is, of course, still the HNIC of broadcasting anything Olympic. In fact, when I was younger, I remember NBC’s peacock logo beign synonymous with the Olympic rings, and substituted the John Williams Olympic theme for the NBC sound (you know, the three xylophone/bells/marimba tones…)

Depending on which chapter of my life you came to know me in, you may or may not know that I was pretty involved in the theatre. Deeply. Heavily. Sickeningly. I graduated in it, for the pity’s sake.
Since 2005, however, I have been only cursorily involved in a few things. Lately though, I’ve seen a lot of shows… more in the past two months than in the past year, I think…

First of all, let me apologize for my lack of posting in this fine month of August. I realize that many of you rely on WhiteEyebrows.com for your daily dose of propaganda, intellectual stimulation, humor and mirth, and so I profusely apologize for the acute absence of said things this past week. (Especially the mirth)
This blog is going to be a bit of a scattered catch-up (as opposed to a Catsup or Ketchup).

And Thus We Were Manipulated
Why Mormon Pop Music and CES Videos Bug Me
A while ago, on my way home from church, I was listening to a mix CD of Sunday music.

So I was forced to go back and let them listen to it.
It took the rest of the trip home to try and explain the following:
Growing up, I listened to a lot of Mormon pop music. A lot. It mostly grew out of the fact that I often sang in church, so I tended to listen for new material, and to be part of that universe. I was practically an authority on all things Perry or Cope.

There’s an old saying:
If you got it, flaunt it.
Well, friends, countrymen (and especially countrywomen in this case), in today’s blog I am going to make a case why if you got it, please refrain from flaunting it.

Having been interested in the entertainment industry for most of my teenage and adult life, I have watched more than a healthy dose of Awards shows. Let’s face it, there’s nothing quite like some nice industry self-backpatting to really get me going…
