Yesterday I was watching an old Marx Brothers film, Duck Soup, from 1933. In the beginning it has the NRA blue eagle logo with the motto "we do our part" beneath it. I thought that was pretty interesting, showing how the film industry was involved in FDR's New Deal.
It kind of ties in perfectly with what I need to do over break, because part of my assignment is to look for traces of the New Deal.
"Hm?"
That's just what I thought when I looked at the shirt my brother brought home today.
It has a turquoise background with a great blue and white dragon on the foreground. Behind the dragon is a printed "arrangement" of Han characters for Chinese, Japanese, and some Korean Hangul. There's some Japanese scribbled sideways, some arbitrarily arranged Han characters, and some Hangul that's been broken up, flipped around, and written in convoluted ways in syllable blocks that don't actually exist.
His T-shirt is gibberish. All through ought the shirt, the same design block of Chinese, Japanese, and Korean is printed in different sizes with different levels of opacity.
This has inspired me to make nonsense English shirts, and to sell them to countries where many people do not speak English. They must also use a different writing system.
My first shirt?

This week is spring break. It's just one week off of school, a time to catch up on lost sleep.
That is exactly what I intend to do, catch up on sleep.
I'll also probably go a few places with different people. Hopefully we'll find a fun area around town to hang out in, so then we can do something there. Actually I don't really feel like writing anymore, this is just for the sake of filling up blog post quotas. I'm not really feeling inspired to go write about something either, so eh...yeah, just deal.
Google is leaving China and shifting its server to Hong Kong. All who try to access Google China will now be re-directed to their Hong Kong based site.
Yet another post that none of you care about, joy.
The weekend was alright. It could have been better; I'd like to have gotten out more for one thing. I took an ACT practice test on Saturday, and they gave us some pulmonary mechanics in the science section. That was fun.
I added a few things to my grocery list, including kimchi, which one must always have a supply of, otherwise the natural order of the world shall be thrown off balance and all governments and societies shall crumble into ruin amongst the ashes of previous civilizations who have failed to make this wonderful food a staple of their diet.
Behold, kimchi.
