This story is about two gay couple trying to raise a neglected child (boy) who with Down syndrome.
It describes some social issues such as homosexuality, mental disability, and neglected children.
Moreover, it also describes character description of love and bonds very well.
Tow gays suffer from discrimination and prejudice, but they really love the boy.
I was impressed by their true love.
This movie is so sad.
The last scene is so painful..
By the way, the main character sang “I shall be released” in the movie that was a masterpiece of Bob Dylan.
I went to see the Mammoth exhibition lately.
Some ancient creatures were discovered in the permafrost in Russian.
This exhibition showed some videos and the real ones frozen specimens.
I was so surprised about the videos.
They showed when the ancient creatures were just excavated.
They were very fresh. I mean they looked like died just yesterday.
Their skins, meats were in the fresh condition.
Can you imagine? They lived tens of the thousand of years ago.
One of them were a foal named “Fuji”.
Fuji was so small and had a very cute face.
Surprisingly, it remained not only the fresh skin and meat, but also blood and urine were inside of its body!!
I was sad of the death. It happened 42,000 years ago, but I felt like happened just a few days ago.
I felt that traveled beyond time and space.
No, it’s opposite! Fuji came to me beyond time an space and made me sad.
By the way, one of the members of this excavation team was a Kinki University professor.
His university has a big project “resurrection of mammoth”.
Actually, the project has progressed using the cloning technology.
They said that if they can get an frozen mammoth in more good condition, they will be able to create a new mammoth.
Wow…
Surely, we can get many information from the result, but I don’t like the idea.
It’s one life.
I don’t think we should create a new life of mammoth.
What do you think?
A few days ago, I realized that Belle was panting when I was sleeping,
The last time she got trimmed that was in beginning of July.
Therefore, her hair grew again and must have been hot.
However, I didn’t want to take her to the groomers again, because she had a seizure there, and got a cough injection at that time.
She had dizziness for a half day after that.
I felt sorry for her.
Therefor, my husband trimmed her hair this time.
Belle was like a carp on the cutting board. (Laugh)
Japanese proverb; carp on the cutting board
(Doomed, at the mercy of fate)
My husband is good with his hands.👍
Next time, I’ll leave it to him again!😊
Japanese government recommends us to use the app “COCOA”.
The app will notify you if a person infected with covid-19 comes within 1 meter for 15 minutes.
My husband and I have the app and check it sometimes.
It was the night of the 25th, my husband said to me “Look at this!!”
When I looked at his smartphone, the app displayed that an infected person were close to my husband on the 20th.
He uses two trains to go to work, so I think that it happened in the train.
It was our first experience.
I was surprised and said, “Oh no! What should I do? You may need to take a PCR test!”
He had to answer some questions of the app.
After a while he said to me, “Oh, OK. I can spend my time as usual.”
“Really?”
I told him that if he wanted to take a PCR test, maybe he could take it, because he got the information from the app.
However, he didn’t want to.
I think that he was a little afraid of the test, because it seemed painful.🤔
Well, actually he got the information 5days after he had the problem.
I thought that if he infected with the virus, he must has some symptoms…
We are going to see a couple more days.
My middle finger of left hand has been in pain since mid last month.
I went to see a doctor 10 days ago.
He took X-lay and said “Your bone isn’t broken. I’ll give you cold compress. Surely, your finger is swollen. it’s for unknown reasons. Maybe your problem will go away in two weeks.
Do you play the ukulele? Good! It’s ok to play it anytime if you doesn’t feel pain.
Well, if you will be worried something, come again.”
The way of his explanation was like “it will go away by itself”.
Maybe he thought that why I came there with this minor symptom.
Therefore, I thought that I must have exaggerated.
However, this morning, I felt strong pain in my finger when I stretched it. Sad!!
I searched my problem on some web sites.
Finally I found what my problem was.
It was “trigger finger”! The symptom was exactly the same as mine.
I used my fingers too much. I often use my fingers, including the ukulele.
Should I see how it goes a little more, go to see the doctor again, or to see a specialist?
I can’t make up my mind…
I received a message from one of my friends.
Her pet dog “Maro-kun” passed away in July.
(I wrote his journal here before.)
Maro-Kun was 17 years old and passed away in his sleep.
Maro-kun loved my friend.
He must have thought that my friend was his mom.
Sometimes I’ve heard his cute stories from my friend.
For example..
—Whenever my friend went upstairs, Maro-kun cried at the bottom of the stairs, because he couldn’t go up to the stairs himself.
I thought that he wanted to be with her all the time.
—When my friend went on a trip to Hokkaido, Maro-kun was in a pet hotel.
My friend received a phone call from the pet hotel on the second day.
“Your dog hasn’t done pee since you left him here. His bladder is bulging! You should go back here soon!”
I liked listening to his stories from my friend very much.
I always felt my friend’s warm heart.
She loved Maro-kun so much.
Maro-Kun was a really lovely happy dog.
I hope Belle could die of natural causes, like Maro-kun.
Good-bye Maro-kun. (Aug. 8th)
I saw the space station (ISS) in the sky last night!
The figure was like a star, but actually was an artificial thing!
As you know, it has solar panels, so is an unique shape.
Of course I couldn’t see the outline though.
Anyway, I was so excited when I found it!!
Actually some people are working in the station, right?
Wow…
I waved to them. 😊👋
ISS was moving a little faster than airplanes.
It was brighter than I expected.
When I’m thinking about universe, I always remember my brother’s words.
He said to me “If you keep going up to the sky, the sky will be getting darker, because the outside of the earth is dark” when I was a child.
It made me a little scared and excited.
Even now, I’m a little afraid of the dark, so I don’t want to go in space.
Therefore, I was so happy to see ISS in space with my naked eyes!! (5th July)
Today, I’d like to write about the name of full moon. 🌕
This journal is an homage to my brother’s journal.
Well, recently we call full moon by each nick name.
Long time ago, Native American named each full moon.
They understood season by the names.
I guessed it was like a calendar.
This month (August) is “Sturgeon Moon”.
By the way, I learnt Sturgeon was not a shark.
Oh, I didn’t know that!
Speaking of Sturgeon, a lot of people think of caviar, right?
My brother did so, and of course me too.
My bed is on the second floor.
When I go to bed, I can see the moon through the window at the middle of the stairs.
If it’s full moon, I usually go out on the balcony and wave to the moon.😊👋
I saw two stars beside the moon last night (3rd).
They were Jupiter and Saturn.
Wow, I felt like I was in a space! 🚀 (on 4th Aug.)
I heard the melody of this Japanese song on TV and crashed on it immediately.
When I listened to the full version on YouTube, I thought that the lyrics were also very nice.
Therefore, I tried to translate the lyrics in English.
I hope you can imagine the story.
—
I couldn’t talk to you back then, but I was a little into you.
But now, we can laugh together without being shy being so close.
Here’s to the days gone by.
Sometimes I met you and bowed lightly in the bus.
Such a thing made me so happy.
We had a nice chat if with our friends.
It was a unique relationship, wasn’t it?
Everyone was laughing.
I heard you had moved somewhere.
I didn’t expect to run into you here.
I don’t think it was for love or romance, but I just wanted to see you.
I heard that like the sound of knocking on the door of my heart.
Past days are like tapestries and we weave our stories.
We met by chance in our stories.
Did you change your hair style?
I was trying to get in touch.
You told me before that you liked museums, right?
I wanted to ask you, “Would you like to go with me?”
Do you come here often? This is my second time.
I didn’t expect to run into here.
I couldn’t talk to you back then, but I was a little into you.
But now, we can laugh together without being shy being so close.
I heard that like the sound of knocking on the door of my heart.
Past days are like tapestries and we weave our stories.
We met by chance in our stories.
I like to make something.
When I throw my old clothes away, I usually remove the buttons and beads from my clothes and keep them.
One day, when I was watching the collection, I thought that they could be a material for a kaleidoscope.
I searched how to make it and learnt it on the Internet.
It was like a children’s homework on summer vacation.
(In Japan, we have a long vacation on summer.)
It was fun!!😁
Look at the pictures.
They are beautiful, aren’t they?✨😊
