The Ironing is Delicious

I've entertained a number of complaints recently that I "haven't updated in a while". Well, quite frankly, I've been far too busy with official office business (i.e. being forced by my co-workers to drink straight tequila until one in the morning) as of late to have any time to make an entry on this thing. Which is not to say, however, that good things aren't in the pipeline; I still have yet to upload and sort through a massive collection of photos that I took in Sapporo over the weekend. I don't know if I'll get around to it tonight though, as the opening of a new Jusco beckons. At any rate, I would highly recommend that during my absence you appease yourselves by watching the video of our trip that Matt posted the other day. As usual, it's a topnotch production, although this time around he's completely edited the two of us out of the footage. It's as if the video were filmed by two foreign apparitions, wandering the streets of Sapporo with some sort of supernatural camera.

At any rate, I couldn't leave you hanging with at least one mildly humorous anecdote, so here it is: casual fans of indie rock and Urban Outfitters shoppers take note, the Japanese are taking the fine art of the ironic t-shirt to the next level. In one of my classes at the elementary school yesterday, a girl was wearing a shirt with the following printed on it in bold letters:

UNCENSORED!
NAKED!
I REFUSE TO WEAR CLOTHES!

There was some fine print on it which I wasn't able to read but I imagine it did not satisfactorily explain the paradox at hand.
