Matty's Journal
Wednesday Feb. 6th, 2013

At midnight Jessa and I were looking for something to watch.  I tried Netflix on my Apple TV, but I had to do updates to it.  Then we tried my PS3 and I had to update that as well.  They both took over a half hour to do.  So we watched Tosh.0 and then decided to watch Can’t Hardly Wait.

I woke up at 8 to watch Abby.  After I put her on the bus I took a tiny nap before I had to get ready for work.  I was on the refresh team today at work.  Which all that entailed was zoning the entire shampoo/soap/hair product/nails section of the store.  I had to be strict on how many of a product was out and could fit on a shelf.  It does better the store, but with my knowledge and abilities there I felt like my day was wasted.  Through the day I found out that I’m not gonna be a regular in wireless anymore.  I’m gonna be trained and have a primary (main focus) in electronics.  Which means a lot more work.  However the pay is a lot higher.  Im just a little upset I won’t be working with David and Jaime as much as I use to.

After work I picked Jessa up from my house and then we went to Orland Mall.  I got 2 new pairs of pants and Jessica got some stuff as well.  Then we went to the Apple Store and talked with Jonny for a little bit.  Then we came back to my house and I took a shower.  After that we made some food and watched Modern family while we ate.  Then we watched a little Conan and now I’m on the computer doing my journal.

People I interacted with: Jessa, Abby, David, Nick, Tracy, Peter, Jonny, & Dad.

So we went to Orland Mall.  We went to H&M & didn’t find anything, then the Disney Store & got some awesome Lion King shirts, then we went to Zumies & Jessa got 2 hoodies & I finally got a Reckless hat.  So then we came back home & unpacked our stuff & made a little snack & watched more HIMYM.  So we’re going on about 8 & a half hours of that show today.  I took this little break though to write this journal entry.

At midnight, Jessa & I were making a late night Ramen Noodles snack.  Then we watched either 4 or 5 episodes of How I Met Your Mother.  After that we went to bed.

I woke up at 10:30 because some idiot actor called my up just to ask where filming was gonna be taking place for Not Alone even though it says right on the site where we’re filming.  So I got up & did some Kickstarter stuff with my mom & then I talked to both my parents about some of the rewards I’m offering on KS & they said that I should make the rewards a little harder to get & maybe even take away the executive producer credit one (just incase someone gets smart & wants to sue).  By this time it was past noon & my alarm on my phone woke up Jessa, so I didn’t have to.  Then I was hanging out with Jessa for a little bit, just watching TV & then Kurt texted me about coming over & hanging out for a bit.  So I went over there at 1:30 & left at 5.  We talked about time travel movies, final cut, business stuff, & filming stuff.

When I came home Jessa & I started getting ready to leave for the weekend because Devin didn’t want to do anything for his birthday.  So we left & went to the Amazing Fantasy Comics because my Uncle Art called & needed me to pick up an extra C2E2 pass.  After that we went to Noodles & Company for lunch, I got mac & cheese w/meatballs in it.  After that we went to Orland Mall’s Apple store & Jessa got her iMac.  So we came home & hung out & talked for a little bit.  Then Jessa started cleaning off her desk & I set up her Mac for her.  Then it was time for her to learn experience everything for herself.  So she went on & got a little tired of seeing everything up, so I set it all up & she’ll be ready to use it all tomorrow.  Then I got a little hungry so I made a chicken nugget sandwich.

Monday Apr. 2nd 2012

At midnight, Jessa & I were reading again.  Then I went on Amazon.com to check out some Batman toys.  After that we finished watching 30 Days of Night.  I forgot how much I liked that movie.

I woke up at noon & watched TV for a while until we started getting ready to start our day.  We left Jessa’s house at 1:15 & went to Noodles & Company for lunch.  When we got there we had our last owls of Chili-Mac for the season from them.  It was a very sad & delicious day for the both of us.  After eating we went to Orland Mall to check out the Apple store because Jessa’s gonna be buying an iMac soon.  I showed her the computers & she picks one, but she’s just not ready to buy it yet.  After the Apple store we went to the Disney Store & picked up the Latso Pop! on clearance.  I just don’t want to regret not getting him. Then we went to Journey’s & I got another set of no-show socks because I love them.  After that we went to T-Mobile & Hot Topic.  Then we left for Barnes & Noble where Jessa got a Tim Burton poetry book & I got “What they don’t teach you in film school.”  Which I can’t to read.

Then we went to Target because Jessa needed more Pepsi.  We picked up some other stuff though.  Like more fries, some Reese eggs, & Jessa got some new PJ’s.  After Target we came to my house & I organized & cleaned my room a bit because it looked a mess after I unpacked all my bags & emptied all the Target bags.  After that I drove my dad to a mechanic’s house to pick up his car.  When I got home I watched Gossip Girl, I thought it was pretty good.  Then I went on the internet & did some research on the OS X Mountain Lion & I’m very excited for it to come out.  After that I downloaded some music while Jessa read.  She’s almost done reading BOOK 6 of “A Series of Unfortunate Events.”  I have to correct myself because I wait yesterday I said she was reading book 7.  After that we started watching season 1 of “How I Met Your Mother.”  I like it a bunch so far, it’s very laid back, I don’t need to think, it’s funny.  It’s kinda like It’s Always Sunny in a way.  Now I’m doing this journal entry :)
