Recycling

I'm in Copenhagen visiting my buddy for this birthday this weekend. I forgot to bring paper with me, so I snuck a comic in his notebook he had lying around while he was out...

Typewriters and Environment and Such

Holy. I turned 26 today. I feel strange about that for some reason.

Wonderful day so far: G baked me a chocolate cake, made me breakfast, and showered me with presents, including a beautiful red typewriter!

I've always always always wanted a typewriter! Whoop!
About an hour after that, G got the results for his written Staatsexam and found out that he'd passed with an awesome grade! Whoop!

Heading to the therme and sauna to celebrate later on. Yay!

And here are some environment-related comics. I know. Totally unrelated, I know. I drew them yesterday.



Par-tay!

Garbage

One of the things I was bracing myself for when I moved back to Japan last year was its notoriously fascist garbage collection system.

The thing is, you can get used to anything. After a while, I didn't even have to look at my calender to know if it was Monday (combustibles) or the second Tuesday of the month (plastic bottles). I got really good at washing, cutting, and drying the milk and juice cartons quickly. I think they'd even reduced the number of categories in the last few years, so it was slightly easier than the last time I had been so traumatized and overwhelmed by its complexity. Eventually, I even moved into an apartment that had its own garbage room so I didn't have to deal with this 8:00 business . . . before that, I'd often wake to the sound of the garbage truck leaving, and think to myself, "Crap. I guess I'll have to live with my stinky garbage for another 3 days."

Anyway. I could probably go on forever, but homework's a-callin'.

Oh, also. This is unrelated to garbage, but ain't it the truth: Printers Were Sent from Hell to Make Us Miserable.
