What is the use of a house if you haven't got a tolerable planet to put it on?

9:11am-
Up for coffee and reading and classical music before the day starts.

10:52am-
Been reading about what a script and movie should be.. Getting excited about the feature film idea I've been hanging on to for so long...!!

11:18am-
Asked a guy wear he got his cool bag.
It was from new Zealand.
And so was he. Accent and everything.

1:02pm-
Just hanging with some guy who's trying to find me a place to live...
He seems a little too nice....

2:03pm-
See my reflection in a window and say "what an attractive young man...!"
Other people say "what an attractive and unfortunately crazy out of his mind young man...!"

2:40pm-
Talked to a man about an apartment-
Classic old Italian man:
He would be very friendly (and was to his tenents) as long as you gave him his money. Otherwise he may break your fingers or throw you out of the place in a moments notice.
After talking to him for a while and charming him (bringing up that i was from Texas, how I do business in an upfront and honest way, that I taught TaeKwonDo (he used to take), he said I looked like chuck Norris, I said I get that a lot, talking about his airforce past in Davy Crockett days in San Antonio and relating to him in a "raised with values" kinda way) finally got him WANTING me to rent the place.
Ha. I win again.

3:41pm-
I WILL find a subway (sandwich place) and get a tuna sandwich...!
And I DID!
Only took 16 blocks thru the rain...

One side of my nose gets colder than the other... Hmm.. Weird...



7:10pm-
Looking through craigslist to find a place, I noticed something a little.. fishy. "to good to be true" type of thing.
They claimed to be using RE/MAX to do international payment services to get a deposit for an apartment..
Anyway, after looking at the RE/MAX website and then the link they sent I noticed some subtle differences and emailed RE/MAX asking about it.
They replied shortly saying it WAS a scam and they would get their legal deparent on it.
And then, just now, they sent another email from their 'detective', I guess, asking for any corrospondence I had with this scammer.
So... I defintely started the stopping of a scam/scammer.
I wonder if I'll get a reward?! Like a free house or something...??!??

11:22pm-
Bed..?! Already?!?
Yeah, well I just woke up from an accidental nap. So, yeah.

11:34pm-
Oh wait.
Got another email from the scammer.
...and I think I just set up a sting operation.
