Dear Reader(s):

As you have undoubtedly noticed, this blog has for the past couple days been rather dead. Yes, it may seem to some of you (that is, if we have somehow miraculously garnered more than one reader) that Free Poundcake is a failed project, that its creators have either completely forgot about it or have moved on to other creative ventures. I assure you, however, that neither of these is the case. Melissa and I are very interested in our blog; we discuss it for about five minutes every week!

So how do I explain this disconcerting dearth of material? By utilizing this beautiful pie chart I created in Microsoft Excel! Wow, visuals!



Am I not amazing or what? I mean, it was just the other day that I saw that study published in The New York Times that concluded that 88% of blog readers wanted to see less random Youtube videos and more charts and graphs; well did I give you a chart, or did I give you a chart!

Anyway, as you can see there really isn’t that much we can do about these time sinks; I mean, I can’t very well drop out of college, and I dare you to try and tell Melissa to stop playing badminton. Yes, it seems as though the only event that might actually alleviate more time for Melissa and me to devote to our blog is if our families dropped off the face of the planet, and to be honest, I really doubt that’s going to happen.

But fear not devoted reader(s): I assure you, once this week is over, Melissa and I will endeavor to spend more time discussing our blog—five minutes a week will become a whopping ten! In the mean time just sit tight, and if you get too anxious waiting for an update, just marvel at the pie chart; it’s really a kick-ass chart!
