I rinse the toothbrush and put it away. While the coffee is dripping in the kitchen, I apply shaving foam on my face, and examine the blade. No rust yet. Just a few hairs from the last time.

And I think, if only I was holding a cigarette between my lips, this could be a scene from an award-winning movie.

Now that MAMI is over once again, I need a fix of more movies. Sigh, withdrawal symptoms.
