The Freedom of MSG


Feeling gracious the other day, I let my 6 year old pick out something from the grocery store snack aisle. Like most American 6 year olds, he returned with something that had never resembled food in the entirety of it existence: Wise Onion Rings. There is absolutely nothing in the ingredients that anybody would eat all by itself. Tapioca starch, anyone? In the current political and social climate, where there are those who believe our civil rights are in the process of being eaten away, the back of the Onion Rings package does offer some reassurance, (though goodness knows it's not the list of ingredients). It says right there: "WISE ONION RINGS ... set your tastebuds free!" So, if you are not able to use your tounge as a free instrument of your thoughts and views, at least your tastebuds, tool of your stomach, have some freedom.

I don't even remember where my tounge has been half the time...

Which leads to some interesting situations.

Books I Have Read Recently

Amesterdam by Ian McEwan. See post for Aug. 31, 2005.

The History of Love by Nicole Krauss. I guess you would say this is the story of a book, and all the people connected to it. It is well-crafted. Some very, very sad parts. I hardly ever read anything more than once. This is probably worth reading twice. Will I do that? Probably not. But it's good enough that I can conceive of doing that.

Why Gender Matters by Leonard Sax. This is some very interesting reading material. A little dry in parts, but he presents a compelling argument based on scientific research and not private musings and observations.

The Finer Points of Sausage Dogs by Alexander McCall Smith. How can you go wrong with a title like this? Actually, I listened to this as a book on tape. The narration and intonation was excellent. My stepfather read it and was not too impressed, so I would recomend listening to it.

My Favorite Radio Station
(depending on my mood)
Jazz FM 91.1
One of the nice things about living in Western NY is being able to get Canadian stations. One of the nice things about the net is that you can listen to them online, provided you live in the 21st century and are on broadband.
