181st day sober. Last night I went to bed a bit before midnight, I was so tired. I woke up a bunch of times to pee but slept until 9AM, then got up a bit before 10. I had coffee and so on, then still felt tired so I went to bed again from about noon until about 4:30.
I'm listening to the radio and you can't make this stuff up. They play a really cheerful, bouncy, song that goes "Halloween's Gone", by a guy named Profit, who's originally from Orange County, the place that might not have invented real estate speculation but certainly perfected it. It's about a shooting in the Castro district of San Francisco, that happened on Halloween and killed several people.
Shootings bring down property values, opening an area to speculation. Plus, if you're trying to gentrify an area, the last thing you want are large Halloween celebrations. So if you're a mass murderer who carries out such shootings, of course real estate speculators from Orange County are going to write bouncy, cheerful, songs celebrating you. And your song will get pushed on National Public Corporate Radio. Apparently the song is on some album they put out called "Songs Of California". You just can't make this shit up.
