As I mentioned in my first blog, our layout of the blog was just a temporary thing. I decided to change the layout of our entire blog and make it black. I know that you guys will be so sad that Celly is gone, but I took the liberty to go further with Thiago’s idea of Procrastigators. I found pictures of all of us and put our heads on different gators. I think this suits us so well because everyone in our group procrastinates with everything. When I check out the blog we always seem to have submitted our blogs the last possible minute, but we do always end up submitting them. The due date for the personal narrative is coming up and luckily I was able to fix some problems I’ve had with it. The other day I was not able to just apply a link to a picture without the website also appearing. It’s great what you can do on the Internet. Today I searched google, “applying a link to a picture,” and a multitude of sites appeared. I clicked one and used the code it told me and now my links are working great. For some reason also my one of my tables were not working out. I ended up just deleting that table and redoing it and now it is working great. Shayna and I were at the library working on ours the other night so I was able to see some of hers and it looked really good. She then loaded it again randomly and none of her pictures appeared. So hopefully she can find a way to fix that. The film, Night and Fog, that we saw today was definitely one of the most graphic movies on the Holocaust I have ever seen. It was very hard to distinguish if it was a documentary or nonfiction film, with some of the footage that was included. An interesting concept to this film that also makes it different than other Holocaust films is that this was is about, “Need to remember and impossibility of doing so.” Other Holocaust films are you must remember. It is very important to keep watching Holocaust films. The Holocaust is just so unimaginable that the idea just needs to keep being reiterated so people do never forget especially since there are not many people left that were actually around during that time. Future generations need to be informed. The image I am including is a poster from Holocaust Remembrance Day. Even though this film states, “the impossibility of doing so,” it is so important that people make it possible because this event can never be forgotten.

How would you cease to make it "impossible"? Perhaps the impossibility is in something more than just the memory of "oh...that was horrifying." Perhaps Resnais is asking us to consider some other aspect of memory?
On another subject, nice work on revamping the blog!
