I’ve learned a lot from watching the show Amazing Wedding Cakes on WE. They follow different high end wedding cake shops. Here are just a few of the lessons I’ve learned:

• If you make a Gothic looking woman only create white, pearlizied wedding cakes, she will get angry.
  
• Delivering a tiered wedding cake in a New York City taxi is not fun.
  
• I always think of certain cities in California as being obsessed with weight, clothes & the perfect acne treatment. I know that a lot of people don’t eat carbs there. Yet, they still order these huge, elaborate cakes that I doubt anyone can eat. I guess tradition trumps diet.

I never really buy into JFK conspiracy theories. In fact, I rarely even listen to them. Right now I’m watching JFK, a Kevin Costner movie from 1991. I still don’t believe in the conspiracies. In fact, I can’t even follow the movie.

I just keep thinking how handsome Kevin Costner is. Then I wonder, isn’t that Roseanne’s sister Jackie? Laurie Metcalf, yeah that’s her name. I’m proud of myself for figuring out that much. I can definitely see how people would be paranoid about this, but I still don’t believe it.

Usually my political TV viewing ranges from The Jon Stewart Show to the Colbert Report. Yes, I’m just that informed. So, I decided that I was going to watch the Presidential Debates last Friday. I used the scientific method to decide which channel I would watch. Fine, I chose the channel that admitted that the debates ended at 8:30 instead of 9:00. I wasn’t interested in watching half an hour of commentary. That’s why I watch the Colbert Report.

I really wanted to see how both candidates would tackle the financial crisis. I wanted to know whether they wanted slight reforms, or to throw out everything & the kitchen sinks. I know from watching the West Wing that both candidates probably have a lot of speech writers & coaches. I would assume that they had a lot of practice at this. I was amazed to watch them stumble over simple words, like the other candidate’s name. I can’t really blame them, it would be difficult to keep your thoughts straight while the other person is constantly calling you a liar. I am more confused then ever but at least now I know how difficult it is to debate.
