Kind of boring actually

Day 69, Mile 1065.1---First off, i think I've been brain washed by "Gatorade Man". All day the PCT song was not just stuck in my head, it was taking over my head. I would be in mid-thought and it would just start in out of nowhere. Even when i was thinking about writing these very words it was pushing its way into the forefront. I guess 2/3rds of a half gallon of butter pecan with a speaker right next to my head and I could be the Manchurian Candidate. Anyway today was so-so. It was an easy enough day mileage wise, both in the level of difficulty and the time it took. In fact i got into camp way too early. I tried to drag things out but i still think i am going to be asleep before the sun goes down. Not a bad thing out here i guess. That is of course if i can get out of my tent to pee first. I have been in here for about 40 minutes and what started as 3 or 4 mosquitoes bouncing off the mesh has turned into at least 50. Hopefully as it gets cooler they will find something else to annoy. I was thinking about this the other day - would using mosquitoes in soldier interrogations violate the Geneva Convention or whatever that falls under? Just have a sealed room with an intercom set up and let in about 200 mosquitoes, i know i would talk. There goes my chances at working for "the company". Mooooving on. I have been meaning to mention in the past few posts that my shoes are falling apart. While in Mammoth my parents tried to convince me to get a new pair but i wanted to get more mileage out of these. Probably should have listened, because now there is a complete separation of shoe and sole on the inside of the toe box on my right shoe. The good thing about it is the hole is big enough that most times when rocks get in they fall back out soon enough. I was planning on around 500 miles per pair, but it looks like these will be through at 390ish. I got a little lonely today. I am definitely looking forward to visiting with friends in the coming week. Alright the numbers have dwindled, I'm gonna make a mad dash - well until i have to stop at the tree and pee - but a mad dash there and back for sure. Thought of the day; people say they "have a case of the Monday's", but i would make the argument that it should be a "case of the Tuesdays". I mean Monday is the beginning, Wednesday is the middle, Thursday is good because its the day before Friday which is spectacular because it precedes the weekend. But Tuesday, Tuesday is only the reminder that you just started the work week yesterday ...ugh. Song of the day, besides the PCT song; You got a friend in me, from Toy Story, and a mish mash of James Brown songs i made into one. Craving of the day; cold glass of apple juice, those cream cheese and cucumber sandwiches from my elementary school teachers lunch-ins, some Chinese dish with duck as the main ingredient.
