an a-ha! moment

i've figured out why my mouth feels all torn up after i eat korean snacks. the culprit is monosodium glutamate a.k.a MSG. i always thought it was the rough jagged edges of whatever it was i was eating, but no, it's MSG. i was at my kitchen table enjoying the rice honey and prawn chips when i read the ingredients and there it was at the end of the list, "monosodium glutamate." and so now the roof of my mouth and tongue feel raw.

anyway, isn't it crazy that cheney might be the tie-breaking voter for the senate majority? american politics is so dramatic.

tomorrow is friday: i can wear jeans to work, i'll bite my nails down at 5pm, eddo comes with goodwill and cookies (don't forget!)
