This is what I have to do to keep track of times and exposures on night photo forays. No EXIF data for me. As you can see, sometimes there are dud shots and screw ups so it's really fun getting the film back and trying to see where the offsets are. That in mind, I started writing down what I shot as a reference. Last shoot was the most confusing, I had 160T and 50 film then was tossed a roll of 400... errr who said we wouldn't need math?
Another important tip, flairs are just a bad idea - use ball point or anything that won't RUN if it gets WET... that's just a bad accident waiting to happen. You'll see grown men (or women) cry.

I have the same "fumbles" and I'm only dealing with 12 frames per roll...

Thanks everyone, wow I didn't expect this much feedback on my notes =)
ph0t0 - for the $$$ the K/M is fantastic ($207) but if I had the bucks I'd go for a Nikon CoolScan V. I has DigitalICE which is far superior in dust removal. Also, the K/M takes trays (which threshold brought to my attention that you can only scan the negs frames and if you like the edges you lose them) while the Nikon feeds the film right in.
Still it's far better to have any film scanner than to have a lab do it and you don't get what you want.

While I think Moleskines are great, if your stuff often gets wet, you might consider notebooks from riteintherain.com.
