Plaster and fastfood cravings

So here is the deal. I am in the room helping John find the cover for El Laberinto del Fauno (Pan's Labyrinth). The next thing I know, he is sucking his thumb. I find out that he has suffered from a gash. Thinking it is inflicted by a paper, I find out that the wound is from razors. Gillette razors lay splattered on his bed.

Like paperclips.

Being the sister that I am, I remove them cautiously and proceed to drone my brother upon the discovery of razors on his bed. Is he in any way trying to see how far can he go before he cast upon himself wounds of many kinds?

Blood is pouring out and hurriedly I search for a plaster. There is none. It is funny how when you need something it is never there. Upon which, daddy suggested going for a drive to get some blasted plaster. As we passed a fast-food joint I discovered that I craved for a certain kind of fast-food.

Which is not good as I can always get (insert name of fast-food joint here) anytime, anywhere and I should be sick to death of the brand. Surprisingly I am not. I should be full from dinner but I still want supper. As daddy get the plasters, I get the my heart stomach desire.

So here is the deal. My brother has countless of plasters. And I have now ate an hour's worth of exercise. Go me!

Vegetarian pretzels

It’s after work. H and I decide to go to KLCC for window shopping. We end up at New Zealand's ice cream. After enjoying our treat, we head downstairs when suddenly the craving for a nice Aunty Annie’s pretzel (sour cream, mind you) overwhelms me.

I proceed to the booth, order my pretzel and was ready to leave when I glance upon two Indian men who were behind me.

“What is this? Is it a doughnut?” said Guy No 1, with a heavy Indian accent. My guess? They are from India.

The server looks dumbfound while I try to stifle a smirk.

“No, it’s a pretzel,” I explained to the tourist.

Both men look at me. Guy No 2 says, “What is a pretzel?”

I seriously do not know what to say. To which he continue with the question: -

“Is the pretzel vegetarian?”

I stared at both men feeling a big smirk emerging on my face. The server looks at me. I look back at him and grin ear to ear. He grins back. I hurriedly walk to where H was standing. If I stay watching the two men, most likely I would start guffawing loudly in public.

And we do not want that do we?
