Matty's Journal
Saturday Oct. 6th, 2012

At midnight I was on the computer for a while & watching How I Met Your Mother with Adan.  Then Adan & Sam went to bed & I watched an episode & a half of Rules of Engagement.

I woke up at 9:45 & watched more ROE.  Then Adan came out & said he wasn’t going because he was gonna stay home because Sam wasn’t feeling well & that my uncle Art & Arty weren’t coming either because Arty had too much homework.  Dave also texted me saying he couldn’t make it because he had work.  But Jessica was still on board.  So I went to her house & we got ready & then drove to Midway to get on the Orange line, then we transferred to the Brown line.

When we got to Diversey we walked to Rotofugi.  We got our line tickets & then did some shopping.  It was a really cool shop & the art was really cool as well.  Then we went to Potbelly’s for some lunch because I hadn’t eaten all day.  Afterwards we went back to Rotofugi to stand in line.  We bought our stuff & then waited a little longer to meet Johnny & have a conversation.  It was super cool becasue he remembered me from getting out of my ticket a year or so ago.  So he asked his friend filming to interview me for the Chicago video.  So hopefully I’ll be in the video.  Then Jessica & I got back on the train to go home, actually it wasn’t the train… it was the “Holy Ghost Train” or so the preachers riding with us called it. They preached the entire ride home.

Then we went to Jessa’s & talked for a while.  Then I hooked up their new modem/router, giving them faster internet.  It took a ton longer than I thought it would because I couldn’t figure out why there was a connection but no internet.  But we figured it out.  We also had a yummy dinner.  Then I was on the internet while Jessa was watching home videos.  Then we drove to my house & talked to my mom for a while.

People I interacted with: Adan, Sam, Jessa, M-Dawg, Tommy, Sara, Dale (JC designer), Louis (JC filmer), Johnny Cupcakes, & Mom.

At midnight I was on Tumblr for a while until Kate’s ex left.  Then I got to ask her some questions about her film & stuff like that.  Then I went to bed.

I woke up at 7:30ish & sat on my phone for a while.  Then I got up & got ready to leave.  I left her house at 8:35 & walked to the blue line.  Then I took the blue line, then walked to the Metra.  On the train I finished reading Batman: Knightfall.  When I got into New Lenox Devin & his friend picked me up & we came home.  As soon as I got home I made some lucy because I was sooo hungry.  I made Abby food as well, we had chicken nuggets.  While I ate I watched The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.  After the movie I was on Tumblr for a little while & then got off to watch some TV.  I watched two episodes of Conan that were hilarious then 2 new episodes of Storage Wars.  When those were done I watched Waterworld & sat on the computer.  I also watched a blog from The Hobbit.  Then I sat down & watched Secondhand Lions.  Now I’m watching Grey’s Anatomy & doing this journal entry.

People I interacted with: Kate, Devin, Ricky, Abby, Mom, & Dad.

At midnight I was watching Grey’s Anatomy.  After that I did my journal for Monday & then I was on Tumblr for a while until I got off to watch Friends.

I woke up at 10am & started getting ready to leave for the day.  Then Devin, Chloe, & Abby drove me to the train station.  When I got on the train I started watching The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, but I let it load at home & it didn’t go all the way through.  So I had to turn it off & I watched the last 40 minutes of Inception.  When I got off the train I walked to the Blur Line & got on.  When I got to Milwaukee & Division I stopped at Wendy’s to pee & then walked to Kate’s.  But I didn’t want to sit on her stoop to wait so I stopped at the hospital down the block.  I waited there for about 20 minutes because I was early.  Then I went to Kate’s.  Then we chatted a little about my movie futures as well as how excited I was to see hers.  Then we cut some fliers for her movie & started getting ready to go.  It took us a long time to get there & when we did we set up some stuff & went over who was going to be doing what.  Then people started showing up & I did some filming.  Then we showed my short film as well as a few others before watching Beauty Beneath The Dirt.  After the movie we talked with some people about our projects & then left the theater.  When we got to Kate’s it was really late, so i got in my PJ’s & did my journal.

Jessa I love you to that planet that was Pluto, around a couple times, & back.  Trust me tonight. *smooches

People I interacted with: Devin, Abby, Chloe, Kate, Moose, & a ton of people at the Portage Theater.
