Perfume in ‘Lovefool’ for Pepsi NEX [x]
So my mom and I have been working the same waitress job for 5-6 years now. She had been waitressing years before, but this is recently. Anyway, about… 15 minutes ago this guy she waited on left and told her to take care. Just that. Prior to this she had talked to him about Italy. Her people are from Florence, this and that, and she said she’s never been. She’s got 8 years of art education and she’s working a waitress job. It’s pretty… Sad and disappointing, I guess. Her and my father divorced 6 years ago and she hasn’t had a real job ever. Just been stuck in a small town she’s not from.
This man who we have never seen before tipped her 1000 dollars for a trip to Italy. Walked out, not another word.
…you know. Just when I start to lose faith in humanity….Hm.

WSJ reports Yahoo board has approved a $1.1 billion deal — in cash — to purchase Tumblr.
There it is.
it’s the beginning of the end
Ugh. So does anyone have a place where we can migrate too once Tumblr starts going down the shitter?
No matter how hard they try to come off as though money isn’t an issue as Karp did in the beginning when he refused to use ads, they all fold in the end. I’m not going to act like I know what this means for tumblr, but if the history of social networking sites is an indication, most if not all of them go to shit. If that’s the case, we definitely had a long run.
Vortex Rings
A vortex ring, also called a toroidal vortex, is a torus shaped vortex in a fluid; that is, a region where the fluid mostly spins around an imaginary axis line that forms a closed loop. The dominant flow in a vortex ring is said to be toroidal, more precisely poloidal.
Vortex rings are plentiful in turbulent flows of liquids and gases, but are rarely noticed unless the motion of the fluid is revealed by suspended particles—as in the smoke rings which are often produced intentionally or accidentally by smokers. Fiery vortex rings are also a commonly produced trick by fire eaters. Visible vortex rings can also formed by the firing of certain artillery, in mushroom clouds, and in microbursts.
A vortex ring usually tends to move in a direction that is perpendicular to the plane of the ring and such that the inner edge of the ring moves faster forward than the outer edge. Within a stationary body of fluid, a vortex ring can travel for relatively long distance, carrying the spinning fluid with it.
And did you know that even volcanoes can create vortex rings? (If you haven’t seen the post I just linked to yet, where the hell have you been?!)
But it is generally agreed that the finest examples of vortex rings are those created by our friends from Middle Earth, the Hobbits. ;)
