No lessons at work today. At my current school, they have a system where the schedule changes every week. I think it's due to this school being one of the biggest in the city and thereby having too many classes to fit them all into a regular schedule, so instead making a new one every week, according to the school events and whatnot seemed (to someone) to be a much better idea. Of course what this means in reality is that my schedule is never even considered until about lunchtime on Monday morning, with my first lessons generally taking place around Tuesday afternoon. Not that I am complaining - it makes for a very pleasant, relaxing start to the week, with ample opportunity to catch up on the few dusty corners of the internet I am yet to read and to (not) study, and, as today, to play about on Photoshop. Today, I made this desktop/picture/thing of Suzuki Emi. She is a model/actress who, despite (or perhaps, because of) being very pretty, is probably about one stuttering, synaptic fart away from total brain death.

Eri and I went out Christmas present shopping again today - we decided to buy each other stuff in the sales instead of before Christmas. This afternoon we were in Stitch in Daikanyama, where I saw these shrink wrapped "軍手" (work gloves). Apparently they featured in the design festival in 2006 but I have never seen them anywhere for sale before. The only dissapointing thing about them is the quality of the English on the packaging, all very good save for some your/you're and there/their/they're mistakes. There were about 25 different varieties, like hiragana ones (Japanese text), Hokusai ones, Kanji ones and the other pair that I was very tempted by; measuring ones. I liked the idea of holding something in my hands and being able to measure its length at the same time! In the end though I went for these ones, which have a subway map on them. Going to prove very useful when drunk and lost, I feel! Good value for 1000円!
