Evolution Before Breakfast

It's got really effing cold here all of a sudden, and the problem is compounded by the total lack of central heating in Japan. Given that they heat the seats on the underground, you'd think they'd have found a way to have heating under the pavements... at least in the home - but no. Gas heaters only. The situation has got to the stage where I'm swapping my usual morning shower for an evening one, because I just can't face the cold in the morning anymore.

To illustrate this, I'm posting a picture of me emerging from my chrysalis.



This stage comes shortly after a short crawl from my futon to the gas heater, and is followed by a period of bleary-eyed staring at the computer, hoping for emails that you fuckers never send me. This culminates in me mustering the courage to shed my chrysalis and flap like a butterly, if only to grab hold of the nearest jumper to put on top of my pyjamas so I can actually leave my room.
