I had a great weekend - spend a lot of time with my good friend J, who, in the full bloom of pregnancy, is much fun to be around. We saw Wallace and Gromit, which was great, had Indian buffet on Devon Ave., and another night all went out for great Italian food in Evanston. M and I decorated our house for Halloween, Martha-style. It looks so good I scare myself every time I walk down the hallway. I got this really great cd by Amadou & Mariam, which I've been wearing out. Oh, I just Googled them. They're both blind. I took my first group of students for a short tour at the Art Institute and they applauded at the end. It was really embarrassing, but also made me feel like a million bucks. I'm really proud of my students, almost all of them are getting As on their first paper.

Any Murakami fans in your class?

Sorry to say prints were running around 300,000 YEN (which comes to a little less than $3,000), but no worries. Much Japanese-fun headed to a mailbox near you.

Oh boy, thanks for sending some Japanese-fun! I can't wait to see. Thanks anyway for looking our for Murakami prints for me - they're cool, right?

They are very cool. His stuff is all over Tokyo, I even saw a Murakami-themed bus.

A Murakami Bus! Oh, man, I've GOT to go to Japan. Did you see the Hello Kitty Taxis?
