cake boss!

i have been watching cake boss on TLC and it's totally nuts. it's like a rip of DUFF but like DUFF isn't even good. and the cake boss and his family are in new jersey so all the guys wear gold chains and yell "hey brotha" and "forget about it" and all of this shit. and the girls are totally weird too and like super loud and obnoxious. i would say that his cakes are probably just as good as DUFF's so far and probably taste better, actually.

watching cake boss take place in NJ though really got me thinking about how much some states suck! i was also watching an ad for (i can't remember) either north or south dakota the other day and i was thinking about how hard that must be for their bureau of tourism or whatever to try and think up some shit to put in a commercial. basically the ad just showed some couple dancing and then also watching indians. also there may have been some buffalo featured. it was obviously not the dakota with the mt. rushmore because clearly that would have been featured if it was there. also at the end of the commercial it goes: "north dakota. legendary." that is sad. can you even imagine traveling to north dakota on vacation? no way! i mean it's not like minnesota is a hot commodity here but at least there is plenty of crap to do and also you can get pizza delivered to your ice hut while you fish in the winter if you want! one state i would say that seems like it would really suck but actually doesn't is florida. i worked at WDW (that's walt disney world, doi) for a summer there and FL is actually cool even though it seems psychotic. i mean there are tons of snipers on the freeways but i think miami and key west and even orlando are pretty cool places. i guess i would think that maybe west virginia is probably the worst state. the only thing i ever hear about it is that tons of miners fall down holes and die there. it seems really weird. that would suck ass to fall down a hole, also. so anyway cake boss, i think i will try and watch some more. at least there's not an annoying receptionist who thinks she is a bad ass and has really bad bangs. mary alice, anyone?

lauren conrad etc.

so lauren conrad is coming to the mall of america rotunda to promote a book of some sort, i cannot imagine what the hell it is about. apparently it is called "l.a. candy." i wonder who really wrote it? anyway she better get on tour STAT and milk her status for as much as possible, i guess. speaking of which, i have been watching jon and kate and it's getting pretty good. last week he skipped her birthday to go skiing. also he skied with a kid who had C.P. for approximately 4 minutes. talk about cross-promotion, for kate's birthday TLC arranged for her to go to see DUFF and get a cake. hmm. i always think duff's cakes look weird and i am suspicious that they taste like crap. i mean they are basically all styrofoam and fondant, right? i would way rather have a cake that tastes good. also duff seems to think he is quite the badass for some reason. why? also i thought they were moving to LA and now it seems they are still in baltimore? whatever.
