I’m really tired of loud motorcycles and super-loud mufflers; I’ve always thought it to be ridiculous. Loud bass, the kind that shakes buildings, in cars is bad too.

A loud motorcycle rode by my house today and it gave me a great idea. Next time it happens, I’m going to follow him/her home so I know where they live. I’ll go buy an air horn and around three or four in the morning, I’ll tape down the air horn button so it goes off until it either runs out or someone finds it, and I throw it in their shrubbery or on their roof. I’ll leave a note out front that says, “I really enjoyed listening to your motorcycle earlier, I hope you enjoy the sweet sounds of my new air horn. Yeah!”

No more turning the other cheek for loud noise – FIGHT NOISE WITH NOISE 2007!!!!!

I realized this project at AMT gallery at my show “more better (all images can be seen at http://www.flickr.com/photos/marchorowitz/sets/72157601172660405/)

and really stupid. I tried scanning this, but the photoshop wouldn’t let me open a picture of money. So clever that Department of Treasury of ours, so darn smart. Hope it rubs off on the other departments.

Laminate your business cards so they survive the wash, sweaty pockets, harsh weather, excuses, or a sudden rogue wave.

A couple of months after moving into my new place, I found myself in a real pinch – my shower was being taken over by scummy soap snot. It totally engulffed my nice bar of soap and was getting all over my shampoo bottles. I seriously bet soap scum was the big idea behind The Blob!

I refused to go out and buy a soap holder for my shower – who really likes buying those silly things, and don’t we have enough stuff around as it is? I was pretty broke too.

But not broke enough to afford myself a nice piping hot cup of coffee from the local Cuban Bakery. They served their coffee in styrofoam cups – bad, bad, bad. So I began saving them thinking I’d do something with them someday. Indeed I did – I made myself a soap holder! I cut the bottom off the cup and cut two little slits in it for drainage, and shizzam, a soap holder.

I have been using this little invention for about eight months and miraculously there is absolutely NO soap scum at all! I have no idea how it happens, but I always have a nice fresh, scum free bar of soap with only the occasional curly hair intruder. And no soap scum underneath it! Incredible!

Now don’t go out and buy a 50 pack of styrofoam cups. Find one, save one you HAD to use, or borrow one from a friend. Simply cut the bottom off at about 2″ high, cut two 1/4″ slits in the very bottom and leave them hanging like little slides, put the big opening down first, and set your soap on the slitted side. Done. Now you can have one of the best inventions of the 21st century in your home.

these names may mean nothing to you, but I’ve been obsessed with these two characters for most my life. Why? Why did anyone watch Dallas and Falconcrest back to back? It’s just that way (…my mom made me).

Here are the only attributes that come to mind when thinking about these guys.
