What’s Your Project?Project #109

I’ve always loved fortune cookies. Whenever I eat at
Chinese restaurants, I always look forward to the
cookies at the end of the meal. I always insist on
reading the fortunes of people I shared the meal with,
and we try to make some sense out of the tiny strip of
paper.

In my home I will keep fortune cookies in a huge jar
by the door (you can buy them in Asian groceries!),
and offer one to every person who visits me in my home
(yes, even the cable guy). I’ll have them write their
names on the strip of paper, perhaps with a note about
the fortune’s relevance, then make a collage out of it
after a year. It’ll give you and your visitor a good
laugh on his way out, and at the end of the year, you
might just be amazed at how many people have gone into
your front door.
