Awww. He looks so peaceful

JOSIE IS BAAAAAACK!!!!!!!

having a dog in class is my own personal heaven! 

That said, I do have a bit of business to cover, but this post might have to be sparse, because I have to make up for my poor performance on Tuesday by trying to be a good student today. 

Ok, so you know those ads on the right side of this blog under the archives? Well, every time you click one of those,  I make some money. So far I have made $18 which is a fun concrete way to measure the success of this blog. Now, I was pondering what I could do with this ponderous sum of cash and figured that it could be spent on nothing more worthwhile than a handle of crystal palace. This thought was not only titillating, but it was also only the beginning of an entire strand of thoughts designed for your alcoholic pleasure. If I have $18 now how many dollars will I have in the future? Well, that sum is entirely in your hands as I don't generate any revenue from clicking my own ads. Since my profit is so closely tied to your loyalty I decided that I will cash in on my blog profits and put them all towards an end of the year party!!! Isn't that thrilling! I know I'd be thrilled, and all you have to do is click my ads until your fingers fall off. Tell your friends, tell your family,  and stay bright and hopeful through the arduous end of a wonderful semester, knowing that you have a Blogthro-Party waiting at the finish line. 

That said, I will return to content you have grown to know and love. 

I actually don't have much on my mind. The weather is beautiful and I am generally content and at peace which does not always make for the most riveting blogging. It's ok though, because this is me we're talking about, I'm guaranteed to turn something out. Despite the guarantee I'm still coming up dry. I just took a quick break for inspiration and ended up googling conjugal visits. such is my life. 

Conjugal visits make Carrie giggle. 

Tomorrow is Sakura Matsuri, the Japanese Cherry Blossom festival. I am putting on a puppet show with Carson about a character from our text book traveling into outer space and being subsequently eaten by deceptively friendly aliens. It is going to be ToF (Tons of fun. Learn it and apply it to daily conversation!) Today we are going to put together the puppet theatre and making the puppets. I love doing crafts. I love when I put down a a project and can admire my handy work. I also love working with glitter and coming out of the experience with a fresh coat of sparkles adorning my figure. 

This weekend, I am going to Needham Massachusetts! with Maddy!!! I am sooo excited. I get to meet her dog Sophie, and her family, and visit my friend Emily. Also, there's a big marathon is Boston which is somewhat equivalent to our founders day, and I am definitely pumped to get to be a part of that. 

I think it's time to end this post. Sorry it was mostly business, albeit exciting business. I've been too focused on stressing about studying for linear algebra and then watching old Naruto episodes instead, to have anything all that interesting or exciting to share. I promise that this all changes on Tuesday as this weekend should provide more than enough material for some hilarious and insightful blogging. So maintain your faith and focus my stalwart readers and Comment!!! because comments make me feel really good about myself.

This may or may not be the actual conclusion, as there are still twenty minutes left in class, and you never know when inspiration or incident will strike. 

So inspiration has struck! When I started this blog it was meant to (and still does) serve as mostly a personal diary and an outlet for the exorcism of boredom. With this in mind and a generally pessimism about the potential readability of that which would prove to be sensational, I decided to title each post with clean contemporary simplicity. I figured that the contrast between a stark sterile title and the eccentricities of my personality would be a nice touch. I still think it is, but I worry that as this blog grows it's harder to navigate. Who can be bothered to remember exactly what I wrote on March 3rd? Now, I know that some exceptional readers have committed my posts to memory, but not everyone can be so wonderful, and I am sympathetic to the busy schedule of the average reader. In light of these concerns, I would like Your opinions on how I should best move forward... 

here are your options

1. Change nothing, It's perfect
2. Change the titles! Make them fun recognizable and exciting
3. Keep the titles as they are I enjoy the simplicity. But add labels to each post so that content is organized, categorized, and navigable
4. Change the titles AND add labels! Add some more all around flavor!

Please tell me how to move forward!  Isn't it exciting how interactive blogging can be? Now get to it!
