I don't know why it is that I can remember stupid trivial pursuit type information and memorize a map after looking at it once, but I can never seem to remember what I did yesterday.
I call my parents every Sunday and they will inevitably ask what I did that week - at which point I grab my, now indispensable, calendar to see what it was I did. I can't read it usually. I have developed a habit of writing in every possible thing to do, then crossing out the ones I don't do and circling my choices - which I cross out when I have done them. It's scary looking - if you didn't know me you might suspect I had some type of OCD disorder, which is entirely possible.
My friends are also good at this. I will go off whining that I never do anything fun and they will gently remind me that yes I do, quite often, and they are jealous (well sort of)
The last month went something like this - at least according to my calendar:
3 free movies compliments of Alamo Drafthouse
Joan Jett and Fitz & the Tantrums in Concert

HONK! bands. - and I thought only Austin was weird. Awesome!
A Do512 party at the Highball - where Dhani Jones tried world record bow tie tying, Romany Malco fish rapped, Zeale sang w/ BLSH, wiggling boobs, people on bikes, odd world records being broken and crowd surfing Aussies.
Volunteering at Cap 10K and Art City Austin
Lots of free music
Art Yard and Chicken Coop Tours
A Crawfish boil
And that's just the best stuff. In between I try to manage my job search, network and....... well I know there's more I just can't remember it.
