82 minutes of remorse


Nicole Richie turned herself in to jail yesterday, and turned herself right around 82 minutes later. Eighty-two minutes is barely enough time for the dank prison air to hit your lungs, but apparently it was enough time to deem Nicole a "cooperative" inmate. Of course she was cooperative. I hear claustrophobia doesn't set in until the 83rd minute.

So, to commemorate her 82 minutes, I offer you a list of 10 activities that can be accomplished within 82 minutes' time.

1. Get a manicure, pedicure, and allow adequate time for drying
2. Renew your license on a busy day at a Manhattan DMV
3. View the Simpsons movie (exact running time, 82 minutes)
4. Go to the dentist, get X-rays, a cleaning, and travel back home
5. Knit an infant-sized hat
6. Fly from New York City to Nantucket, and collect your luggage
7. Wait for a table at Nobu
8. Watch two episodes of Top Chef, if you fast forward the commercials
9. Play a leisurely game of Scrabble
10. Read the important parts of Nicole's book The Truth About Diamonds, at least twice

Don't know about you, but I can polish off about a week's worth of work in that time -- and put those other 2,318 minutes to far better use (by interviewing elsewhere, say).
