these are the last that I have uploaded; next is Friendsgiving and maybe thanksgiving even, when I get somewhere with wifi that works. Anyway, battery is also dying. More later.<br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/tail_end/1057/0018.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/tail_end/1057/0019.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/tail_end/1057/0017.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br />

I just found out that 20% of the calories you burn are burned by your brain. Does that mean, then, that people with super high metabolism can think more and/or faster? Endurance athletes: ultramarathon runners, touring cyclists who do 80+ miles a day, anybody at the olympics, people like that. Can prolonged exercise make you smarter just by making the processor run hotter?

Somebody this weekend asked me this weekend, in a pointed, trying-to-give-advice kind of way, why I hang out with the people I do… as if there are better people somewhere. The truth is it’s damn hard to find people I can talk to, I need all the friends I can get. Real people, people who don’t fuck with trivialities. They sure as hell have their faults, but so do I. <br /><br />Speaking of friends, of real people… a bunch of people came back into town last week for the holiday, all of whom I was glad to see. This is mostly about them, and the next few posts, too… it’s been a good break. Now back to the grind. <br /><br /><span class=”caption” >Rayguns and Devin.</span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/people_come_back_to_town_for_a_holiday/1060/0001.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/people_come_back_to_town_for_a_holiday/1060/0003.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” >Caitlin, in from Austin fo a day, then gone the next.</span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/people_come_back_to_town_for_a_holiday/1060/0004.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” >I flew a kite that day, and it was fun even though the wind was weak sauce.
