Hippo

Underneath the billowing textures of things like hippos, there are really solid and interesting shapes. Imagine a program that would render images based on photographs. The user would set a slider somwhere between form and texture - i guess haf way would be pretty unchanged....but far right would be ferocious fields of differing strokes and the far left would be a dull collection of lifeless geometries.

For the intrepid connoisseur of layered girly drinks there is a sacred recipe for the legendary "Pousse Cafe". A drink with 6 types of alcohol, all layered according to their specific gravity. My mom told me a story once about a lady ordering one at a bar and after 5-10 minutes of tense liquid surgery performed over the back of a coctail spoon - the woman grabbed a straw and stirred it. what a meaningless legacy to leave.
