Wednesday I had my last classes with 3:4 and 3:2 and so naturally took some pictures of which you can see below. (下の写真をクリックしたらもっと大きく見えるよ！）

In the evening I met up with Chris Cotter in Umeda. Chris was over in Kansai on business and so we spent a very pleasant evening chatting and imbibing and covering various topics from bookish (The Best American Short Stories), to nerdish (the five best scenes from Doctor Who). And Chris told me that I look especially Irish when I’ve just come out of the Gents. So that was nice.

Finally, here’s a link to a twenty minute animation called The Story of Stuff. It’s very good, but to save me the bother of explaining it to you, here’s a synopsis from the web-page.

From its extraction through sale, use and disposal, all the stuff in our lives affects communities at home and abroad, yet most of this is hidden from view. The Story of Stuff is a 20-minute, fast-paced, fact-filled look at the underside of our production and consumption patterns. The Story of Stuff exposes the connections between a huge number of environmental and social issues, and calls us together to create a more sustainable and just world. It’ll teach you something, it’ll make you laugh, and it just may change the way you look at all the stuff in your life forever.
