sometimes i feel like when i post two blogs near the same time, the first one gets kinda ignored. brushed away. like no one pays attention to it...
so im gonna write first, the one i dont wanna dwell on.
irony.
so how bout this:
i have a class.
Japanese Culture Through Cinema. great class. terrible teacher. its all irrelevant, anyway.
Our teacher kinda worked under this other teacher, Keiko McDonald. i mean, come on, she freakin wrote our textbook. (which seems to be the case a lot at Pitt. pitt professors writing our textbooks)... she's a big deal.
this week, we watched a movie, Madadayo. good movie. slow plot, but good nonetheless.
it dealt mainly with the themes of the student/teacher relationship and the acceptance of fate and ultimately death.
we read a whole chapter Keiko wrote on this film and its themes.
we also found out that Keiko died yesterday.
weird? yes. ironic? more so. i literally read the words she wrote on accepting death as a natural part of life HOURS after she had passed away.
and now, finishing this, im forced to look up at the piece which i suppose i call "Life" from my 4x4 project, pinned on my bulletin board. more irony, i think.
