Coffeehouses are NOT working environments...

Today I decided to work on my project in a coffeehouse. One of the assignments of my “Street Smarts for Writers” is to go out and mingle. In other words, to do some NETWORKING. I’m tired of hearing the same old story. In this business it’s not about who you are but who you know, bla bla bla… Well, I suck at it. Especially in English. Try to be kind and open with a producer in this town. Try to maintain a 3 minutes conversation without them taking a long hard look at your cleavage. “You are so charming, why don’t we talk about your project over dinner. BTW I’m looking for a personal assistant”… Yeah, well “I’m looking for a sugar daddy that can’t get it up, how about that, honey? Sounds good? Maaan! I hate to lick ass.
Speaking of suckers and lickers and so forth, how in heavens am I supposed to concentrate if a COUPLE is performing a shockingly long tongue-kiss right in front of my face. OK. Please people. It’s not cool to eat in front of the starved ones. The girl was as participative as a mollusk can be. Just sticking out the tongue from time to time as some greedy viper or something. But the guy!Well, HE was a good kisser. Very intense, prolonging the moment before the imminent touch, passionately crushing his nose over hers, then descending to the chin, using teeth, sights, looks, hands, tongue, and…
Hey! Didn’t they say that horniness and acne would slow down with age? Well it’s bullshit. Or else, I’m in the height of puberty.
So I came back, took a long shower, a-ha, and ate like a pig. Basically all the 884 calories I burned Yesterday on my two hours- Olympic-level sports class.
8 pages translated so far- 3000 calories in between. Great! 8 pages reminding me that 20 years ago I was potable enough for paparazzis using me as a catch for taking compromising shots of married celebrities or crews betting on me so that I would dare to jump on the pole dancing floor of the club we frequented in Cancún… ahhh… those were definitely my good old times…
20 years already! AUCH!
