And I don't know what to wear to the school's Halloween party. I could sense an impending crisis. Some of my uni-mates tried to be helpful. Oh, I'm coming as ...

Ngomelan seorang pengomel yang gigih. November 21, 2006. Matters of the Liver. There is one thing that has bothered me for some time. I'm assuming that I am not the first to notice or remark on this, but at the same time I don't think there has been enough discussion - let alone reflection - on the matter.
