Still hot. I think I'm hallucinating. I hear things at night that sound so real. Voices. I don't know. Songs. You know how sometimes a song just won't stop repeating and repeating in your head? Happens all the time up here. Every little scrap you can remember of even a really dumb song is like, precious, because it's from home. On the other hand, the songs go around in your head for days and you can't stop the motherfuckers.

Today's insanity loop is this happy-sounding song they play on Radio Gigante. It only sounds happy though. It's called "Ue O Muite". "OO-ay oh MOO-oo-ee-tay." I saw it written. That's all I know cause it's in Japanese, another language I don't speak, but they put the words en ingles in the Gigante broadside, and they go like this:

I look up when I walk so the tears won't fall
Remembering those happy spring days
But tonight I'm all alone
Happiness lies beyond the clouds
Happiness lies above the sky

I look up when I walk so the tears won't fall
Though my heart is filled with sorrow
For tonight I'm all alone
Sadness hides in the shadow of the stars
Sadness lurks in the shadow of the moon

The singer even whistles for one verse, trying to sound like his heartbreak isn't going to get him down, but inside he knows better. To me it's just the saddest song. Here I am, looking up I see two suns, three moons, and millions of lonely stars.
