How about just tackling his usual auteur-ish tendencies (long distance relationships in a post-modern society) and just grounding it in reality with no sci-fi nonsense, just one person in Japan, one person in the UK, and watching them deal with the distance.
Or is that too boring for anime which just has to have heavy genre influences in it somewhere? (and if it doesnt then its hilariously automatically labelled 'slice of life', but that's another debate entirely...)
That actually sounds like a good story idea in a way. I bet he'd somehow make it work into an awesome emotional ride.

He signed my DVD and I shook his hand/took a photo with him, which was awesome. He's very polite and I'm looking forward to his next piece of work.

The diary was actually pretty interesting even with the difficulty of having a google translation

Looks like something Mediterranean cooking up in his mind.
Can't wait to see what he comes up with.
