In so many words, I was also depressed after Murakami because I was by myself again and because I knew I could just never be as awesome as he is. :(

This chick got 3 books signed: http://community.livejournal.com/murakami/242978.html?thread=2141474#t2141474 A little excessive. @_@; I'm surprised they didn't limit it to 1 item per person in case these things ended up on eBay instead.

A CCS prof or non-CCS prof?

Ummm, he was invited to teach Japanese Lit in CCS, but I don't think he was a regular part of the faculty. Do you remember Nathan-sensei?
