Hey people! We're pretty terrible at this blogging thing, huh? It's been over a month since our last post. Oops. Things have been both extremely busy and amazingly uneventful around here. With the exception of our friends Teresa and Dan visiting Japan two weekends ago, it's just been work work work with a smidgen of relaxing on the weekends. Also, Joanna's computer is busted, so that makes it even more difficult!
Anyway, here is a post with more pictures from my phone, this time with a theme: Engrish shirts! You see so many of these in Japan. It's the equivalent of people wearing shirts with Chinese characters on them in the States. You don't know what it means, but by golly do you look cool wearing it! So, without further ado, LET'S SO BRING IT!! ON DOWN.
 |
| "Urban Division. BAD BOY LOS ANGELES. BAD BOY 1982. Go ahead. Challenge the world. We'll see you out there." Found in the kids' clothes section of my local mall. There is nothing I can add that would make this shirt any cooler than it already is. |
 |
| "SCRUM. EFFECTIVE AREA HERO. UNDER 10." Again from the kid's clothes section. |
 |
| "HERALDRY LEGEND. CHOP POINT. There is never met KING OF FREEWAY." Another from the same place. I think this one is talking about Mad Max? |
 |
| Not really too much Engrish shirt, but I love thinking of Bill Cosby as the PROFESSIONAL'S CHOICE. |
 |
| "PRIURI. DREAM ABOUT FANTASIZE. Being Pleasant. Believing In Yourself." From the girls' section of the same store as Bad Boy 1982. While boys' shirts are all a bunch of words about being cool and tough and effective area heroes, girls' shirts are just a bunch of flowery yet reaffirming messages. Some are kind of weird though. Dream about fantasize? That's some Inception stuff right there! |
 |
| "Girl going to work in an office." "I'm Really Really PLEASED." Found at Uniqlo, a popular and hip yet cheap clothing store. The irony of the first shirt is that if you really were a girl going to work in an office, you wouldn't be wearing a t-shirt. |
 |
| "I'M SO VERY UNHAPPY." "Give me back my zip-up fleece top!" Again from Uniqlo. I suppose you can buy both Really Really PLEASED and SO VERY UNHAPPY and let the world know how you're feeling on a particular day. As for the other shirt, it's kind of a passive-aggressive way of getting your stuff back, isn't it? |
 |
| "I am enjoy it now!! DO you enjoy it?" Not a shirt but a bear backpack. "Enjoy" is the Engrish word of choice. You see it EVERYWHERE. |
That's all for now. Hopefully more soon! Keep it real, Effective Area Heroes!
