Simple Lives Behind the Cameras

[dotinthesky]

Rich celebrities like Paris Hilton get sent to jail for short sentences during the summer. No cameras allowed, not even at their arrival.

Non-entities like these people sign up for a short jail-term during the summer. Excessive amounts of camera allowed.

But which of the two shows does the public actually want to watch? The Simple Life indeed.

Creative writing exercise: Start a blog today and pretend that you are Paris Hilton's cellmate. She arrived in your cell today (well, last night at 11.30pm) and she will be doing time with you, in matching orange jumpsuits, for the next three weeks. Detail your life in prison with her. What kind of conversations do you have late at night when the moon shines through the bars? Is she a snob? Is she interested in getting to know you? Does she have salacious secrets to trade in exchange for protection? What do you do to kill time?

You can treat this exercise as a sort of NaNoWriMo, which ends when Paris Hilton gets released while you stay behind to rot in jail.

Are you still on for meeting at 5:30pm at the BFI?

Yes I am! I forgot my mobile at home so if you can't make it, let me know by email until 5.30pm. I'll be there after that, underneath the bridge. ;-)

Hi, just letting you know that I won't be able to stay too long this evening as I still have quite a few things to do back home.

See you later!
