schedule - beta.

Oh, the satisfaction. Yesterday, I inhaled the aroma of the Program Guide (with the incredibly imaginative cover – thanks Hot Docs), and armed with 2 pens and a sharpie, I made myself a schedule.


A note on method: I made a list of all the movies I might like to see. This list was originally called Must See, but as the list swelled to over 40, I was forced to remove the word Must. I then examined each column of the schedule and sharpied any See movie that was not screening at the same time as any other movie form the See list. I then employed a light green pen to cross the movie off the aforementioned list. The next step involved an elaborate web of if/then statements with the aim to allow for the greatest me for the greatest number of movies. This is the result:
