The Peep Diaries

Some good peep material on CNN today. first up, we’ve got a “news” report on a nanny mishandling 7 month old twins. needless to say, there is ample nannycam footage showing the twins being swung around and left to fend for themselves on the couch. the actual public need to see this material is somewhat doubtful though the reporter tries to salvage her credibility by ending with something about how the mom wants other families to know that they can also get nannycams and bust their caregivers.

Next up, a couple of minutes of security camera school bus action featuring what is proudly advertised as a school bus brawl. Watch burly bus driver lady and burly teens pull hair. Again, there’s an attempt to pretend this is news, not voyeurism, by ending the segment with a 4 second clip of a mom saying something like, “I’m shocked.”

I’m not.

So a long gap between my first post and the next two posts. That’s because the launch date for the blog got put off until Sally (director of the peep culture documentary) got back from Paris. You see, the doc people want to film the launch of the blog. So everyone’s coming over today to capture this exciting moment. I spent the morning cleaning my office. You can see the floor now. It’s nice. I’ll take a picture.
Anyway, I’m feeling a bit anxious about the whole thing. I’ve never blogged or really had much about my personal life out there. As a writer I like to re-read and re-think everything I put out there. I’ll need to get over that. Plus, of course, the whole idea of developing an audience of people interested in peeping my life. I can honestly say that I have no idea what that will feel like. So we’ll see.
