Dentures

My dad forgot to remove his dentures last night again. It happened before. I'm usually the last one to go to bed, so I can tell by looking at his mug to see if his dentures are soaking in there. My mom found out during lunch. Turn out he didn't brush at all before bed time either. My mom had to tell him to brush right there, at that very moment, otherwise he forgets again. Sigh... and his peeing progress at the hospital yesterday is fake. He still leaves a puddle in front of the toilet and stinks the hell out of the whole house. How can I not get depressed?

Here's another reason that makes me want to kill myself. The photo is part of a mountain of junk on his "desk". He goes around the back alley and picks up junk from the our block's houses on garbage collection day. Makes our house smells like a junk yard.

Gross

Took dad to his appointment (with an exam) again. Yeah, I know having someone poke a camera inside your dick is probably horrible, but I'm more traumatized by the sight of him on the bench with legs spread like a women giving birth. I'm the translator, so I can't escape. Managed to avoid the exam part, but between helping him into position and the doctor began, I couldn't avoid seeing "it". Not a pleasant sight at all. Gross, actually, really really gross. Made me want to throw up.

He didn't even attempt to cover himself up. He grabbed the huge paper towel sheet high up, which defeats its purpose. His lower body was all hanging out. Mom also didn't care to cover him up either. As if they wanted me to see on purpose. Sigh... if you want to expose yourself, do it somewhere else. Don't do it to me. I don't want to see any of that. I don't wan to have anything to do with that. It's traumatic. It's sexual harassment.

Now I'm depressed.

I went to art college for 4 years and did tons of life drawings. It's not that I haven't seen naked men. But dad was exceptionally, unacceptably gross.

Pomegranate

The intense red looks like making a ruby into the shape of a grain of corn. The juice is red like blood (and I bet it leaves tough stains too). What's the proper way to eat pomegranates? It took me 3 hours to eat 1/3. Of course I'm very sure that eating the grains one by one is not correct. But how else do you deal with the seeds?

Homework

Casting clean-up final. There were more but I didn't take pictures of.

Shoulder...

Aaawwww... it hurts and I can't move...
Got all ready to go to work, but decided I won't be much good and should stay home. Ended up sitting in front of the computer all day. (T_T) Hope tomorrow will be a better day. Not sure why or what, but the past week has been horrible.

Homework

Mini ribbon spools...

Kokugidou Edo rice crackers

Thanks Kazuyo for this one. She's a sumo fan! These rice crackers are hard. Probably baked not fried. You can tell the difference between the supermarket variety and this gift shop type. I was still craving salt so it tasted very good. Looking at the ingredient list, there's no weird additives. All natural. However, there is a sour after taste. Usually means they used real sugar.
Then there's the cake-type. For the lack of better words, it's like angel food cake with red bean paste fillings. Tastes very good! Unfortunately I probably waited a bit too long before opening it, the cakes are a little dry.
