Yesterday TWO absolute gorgeousnesseses were seen in discussion at the SLV conference Libraries, Web 2.0 and other internet stuff. In alphabetical order (me being ever the gentleman) they were Paula Kelly and Jill McCallum. They dared me to use the word 'gorgeousness' on the net.
Words were a bit of a feature on Monday, and I loved the golden oldie in one session : "drilling down". For me, it still has too many dentist overtones.
Other words - at the moment the men of the Melbourne Chorale are providing the Miner's backing chorus for the MSO production of Puccini's 'Girl of the Golden West'. The heroine is named Minnie; so, in beautifully pronounced Italian, we often have to sing 'allo Meenie'. I'm sure some of the audience will think they are at the Goons that is on at the moment. BTW - it is great luscious music and some great singers.
On a sad note, I was listening to Life Matters on the ABC and the interviewer was talking with a young student about reading the last Harry Potter book. When he asked where her reading would go from here she said that she didn't know any other books that were like HP. So I will be sending a message to their notebook today with some suggestions. (I'm enjoying it, and for once reading slowly.)
Great day at the conference.
