    How to sell on Craigslist

    Just had the following wonderful exchange with a supposed interested buyer. You can see by their second e-mail they're a scammer. I let them have the last word, and they chose to out themselves with their reply. Their reply contains one NSFW word.

    July 2009 Round-Up

    July 2009 Round-Up

    I’m tracking everything I watch, read and write in 2009. Here’s the July Round-Up. The writing was visibly up. The TV watching went back up.

    I only had 8 days of paid work, but tried on a number fronts to get some more. Takes a lot of time to find work these days. Not really a vacation as one might surmise.

    Spent one day at Comic-Con 2009 and it was a long one.

    Words Written: 7055 (Finished a major second hour write, bringing another TV pilot to the 2 hr pilot completion stage. By tracked word count I am down by roughly 10,000 words for the year having set a goal of 10,000 a month. But, with the completion of the pilot second hour I feel pretty good.)

    Projects Worked on: 2
    Scripts Read: 1
    Movies Watched: 5
    TV Shows Watched (episodes): 62
    Books Read: 0
    Comics read: 2 Collections

    Comics Read:

    Planetary: Corssing Worlds
    Ultimates Vol 2

    Books Read: Working on a couple, but didn’t finish them. They go onto the list in the month they are finished.

    Movies Watched:

    Sherlock Holmes and the Case of the Whitechapel Vampire (Max Headroom as Sherlock Holmes. Meh.)
    Murder By Decree (IMHO the best Holmes movie made)
    Watchmen
    The Hurt Locker (Nice and taunt, but deceptively simple)
    Green Lantern: First Flight (Well, if animated is all I can get, I'll take it.)
