and the olfactory

earlier today, i blogged about my controlled diet for this week. at various points through this day, i realized that it not only entailed controlling the taste buds that craved regular, wholesome meals, but also the olfactory sense. berkeley brims with eateries, and as i walked through the streets yesterday and today, my nose became considerably more sensitive to the aromas that wafted their way in. this seems to take more self-restraint than i thought, but as tends to happen, it seems to build greater self-restraint as well.
