Today in my coffee/writing spot I was treated to a chat between two people I am fairly certain were pathological liars. They were meeting for the first time, supposedly so she could get advice on the feature film script she was writing. He had a thick accent—possibly Moravian* She sounded a lot like a Valley Girl and claimed to be 19**
He had done a series of documentaries that many major studios almost picked up.
In her brief life she had runaway at 12, worked on a marijuana farm, won a full scholarship to Stanford which she somehow lost because her roommate stole her bed, worked as a waitress, dated a mafioso, investigated the fate of the ‘disappeared’ in Chile, and written a (still unpublished) cookbook. Her dream is to start a gluten-free luggage store with her mom.
I’ve cleverly changed a lot of the actual details, because I’m averse to lawsuits, but this is pretty close to the actual conversation.
*of course I’m making that up. It was Sanskrit.
**As in’30.’

LOLOL! Are you in need of a new coffee spot? 😀

If the coffee weren’t so fabulous and the drive (four minutes) so short, I’d think about it!

What lies did HE tell?

He described an illustrious career, claimed to be one of the best documentary filmmakers in the region, with many films that were finalists for awards. Checked him out with a friend who’s a genuine Emmy award winning doc filmmaker. She’d never heard of him.

Sounds like they deserve one another.
