Schudules and Kids in Hall (not New Kids on Block)

Yesterday was a great day. It started when I made a schedule for myself. My days have been so formless it wasn't good for me. It was satisfying to write something out and have a plan, then accomplish all those things. I woke early, but didn't start making the list until ten a.m. Here it is:

11:00-11:30 list of things to bring to Vermont
11:30-12:00 pick up room
12:00-1:30 read From Where You Dream (writing book)
1:30 lunch
2:00-3:00 Battlestar Galactica (DVD)
3:00-3:30 shower and dry hair
3:30-3:45 flat iron hair (okay maybe I was getting down to minutae here)
4:00-5:00 gym
5:00-5:45 feed cats and pick up kitchen, clean kitty litter, do dishes
5:45-6:00 rest
6:00-6:30 dress for Kids in the Hall show
6:30 leave for Kids in the Hall
7:00-10:00 Kids in the Hall (sketch comedy troupe)
10:30 bed

This really helped me. I was able to follow it and had the best day I've had in recent memory. I felt great at the end of the night. Today I made a schedule too but didn't stick to it because I wanted to hang out with Wren. I look forward to making more lists though. My mom would be so proud.

The Kids in the Hall, who used to have a show on the Comedy Network, were irreverent and hilarious. It was so much fun to see them in person. They didn't have anything on stage except tape to mark where the various interchangeable props could be placed. They made a couple of blunders and started laughing at themselves, which was funny. There were a couple of technical difficulties; whenever they would refer to a city a strange voice would come in and insert "Austin." Once the voice didn't come in for a while and they were all waiting for the disembodied voice to say "Austin." They made some local references, deriding Matthew McConaughay and one of his movies. They also mentioned a red light district. They said Austin was one of their favorite cities to visit (do they say that to all the girls?). The final skit was the old man who looks at people from far away, looks through his finger and thumb and pretends to crush their heads. "I'm crushing your head, I'm crushing your head!"
