I hope the rice works

Aaaaarrrrgggghh!  I hate it!

Too many issues to write about, too many angles to discuss....and I still haven't blogged about my Batulao adventure.

.....All because I'm terribly bothered by one major (and somewhat embarrassing) setback. 



I hope the rice does its job.  Because if it doesn't, I'm royally screwed.  (If you don't get this, it's okay.  Suffice to say, rice allegedly has some weird but useful properties... according to some urban legends.)
