brush your teeth

today is a multi-post day... scroll further down to find the first one.
wow what a great morning so far. the cereal is a bit gross since it sat out for over 20 minutes in the sun. love to shoo flies off my food before i eat.
i am so pumped to climb. my earlier post was a bit cut off since i had to pee so badly. here in the desert there is no "pee tree" to run behind when nature calls. the guys just walk off a distance and stand with their back turned, but as a woman i am screwed for peeing in the desert. no matter how far i walk off, it doesn't really matter. the outhouses are disgusting, they aren't changed very often and now after the rock rodeo, they are FULL. it's a disgusting topic, i know, but it does give you something to chat about with the neighbours. everyone's always discussing the current state of the outhouse, and it's a real intimacy to discuss your current comfort level of defecation in the facilities with a total stranger.

another cool thing today is wearing my headphones. it gives me an excuse to retreat inside myself even though there are other people around. no need for chitchat, all you can do is wave. i think i may be on to something. i just copied some of my favourite upbeat music to my mp3 player. today's soundtrack will be daft punk's homework, sasha's fundacion and involver
today is supposed to hit 27C, sort of a heat wave. let's go climb.
