In Japan


Yesterday, I bought sunflowers and a grapefruit. I think they brighten up my sometimes dismal kitchen. I did, unfortunately, eat the grapefruit fifteen minutes after this picture was taken, so it's just the sunflowers now.

It's strange living by myself. I did not anticipate having to buy flowers and produce, never mind toilet paper and bookshelves. Adult life, apparently, consists less of the glamorous museum galas and constant champagne-drinking I had expected when I was seven, and more of grocery shopping and lightbulb-changing. It could be much worse, though. I could be hungry and in the dark.

And I'm in Japan.
