Of cool countries and t-shirts

My Brother the Dean and the Dean's Queen (aka sis-in-law Jan) are visiting Iceland this week. I'm very, very jealous. I have been to Iceland twice and loved it, loved it, loved it. So much so that this is how lame I am: I actually took a photograph of my favorite t-shirt, one I bought at the University of Iceland bookstore three years ago, e-mailed it to them, and begged them to bring me back another one exactly like it. Because the one I have is nearly threadbare. And because that specific design, featuring the seal of the University of Iceland in Icelandic and Latin, has this Soviet-block-state-in-the-1980s graphical look that makes me feel very, very cool when I wear it.

Hmmm. This may be a very dumb question, but doesn't the University of Iceland's bookstore have an internet store. If they don't, are we to assume that someone "froze their account"?

Yeah. But it's mostly in Icelandic: http://www.boksala.is

I figured that out when I went to their site. I especially love the statement... "We are currently working on an English version of the store. Hopefully it will be up and running late in the year 2005." I think they're a few chapters short of this goal.

You could try to write or call the bookstore and ask them to send you one of these t-shirts. Their contact details are at the bottom of the site.
