The one about The Machinist
Reading an interview Christian Bale did for The Machinist, where he played a role requiring him to be stick-thin, I realised just how anorexic he must have been (although that has nothing to do with the movie at all).
What did you eat during this ordeal? My daily thing was generally like a bit of a coffee and an apple if I felt like it. Well, I had to eat the pie in the scene, and then there was...
Have you ever had a memory come back to you, leaving you feeling like you’ve been punched in the stomach and causing you to actually physically cringe and feeling like you’re having a brain-freeze of some kind?
Yea. I just had that. *shudders*

Well once a week is okay, right? Right.
Simple maths time: 190 x 3 = 570 calories. Mother skyped me today and she said I need to eat more.
She’s clearly wrong.
…. at least vodka is low-cal. Bring out yo hipflasks!
I went for training for the gift wrapping job today. Lesson of the day: How to make pretty ribbons and wrap boxes + wine bottles. FUN.
One of the girls at training had the coolest piercing ever! It was on the apple of her cheek, just under her left eye. You can’t even see it if you weren’t looking at her properly!
I want another piercing. Would get it right now if I wasn’t...
I was browsing around the internets for a good carrot cake recipe when i came across someone’s food blog. I decided to read the “About Me” section and at first I was like right… right… pretty interesting childhood blabla… but then this sentence slapped me in the face: “I was raped in the sixth grade”.
BANG.
I thought the next part of the sentence...

Pleasures of the flesh.
Sometimes I feel like straying from my mostly vegetarian (+seafood) diet, and have a bite of… *gasp* red meat.
I was very much tempted when I came across a South African cafe the other day and saw that they had ‘biltong’ which is like beef jerky, or dendeng to you Indos.
But I went home and had myself a stir fry dinner of chickpeas, kidney beans, tofu and scrambled eggs.

The one about eBooks
During a half hour train ride into the city, whilst I was listening to an audio book of 'Brave New World' a 1984-esque work of fiction about a future dystopian society:
Random guy sitting across me: Are you alright?
Me: (suddenly realising that someone was talking to me) What? Yes, I'm fine! Why do you ask?
Random guy: Oh no, it's just that you look pretty distressed to me.
Me: Really? Oh, prolly because I'm listening to an audio book and I'm getting to a pretty intense part.
Well, the conversation went on from there, but since then I've started catching my reflection on train/bus windows when I listen to audio books. Personally, I reckon I look pretty constipated rather than distressed. I suppose it's my irritation at the 'la-di-da' tone of the narrator that translates to my face. Yeah, so this eBook and audio book stuff isn't really working for me. I like my old-skool paper books!
