Worry about money less (read all 2 entries…)
Worry? Me, worry?!

Let’s just say that it helps if you pay your bills on, or close to, time…



Figure out how to legally download mp3s
All I need is loving you and music, music, music

Back in the halcyon Napster days, I gleefully downloaded masses of MP3s, not being aware of the copyright issues. Which was pretty stupid of me, because I work in publishing, and at one stage was responsible for checking music copyright on a project I worked on. Admittedly, I did mostly download ancient 60s and 70s songs I would never have bought on a whole album, so I figured I wasn’t really ripping anyone’s royaltys off. But that’s a fairly dodgy argument, in all fairness.

I’d be more than happy to pay for downloads, as there are so many individual songs I’d love to have, but iTunes isn’t available in Australia yet, and as far as I can work out, you have to subscribe to MSN in order to download from them (and I am more than happy with Ozemail). So, how does an honest music fan of dubious, if eclectic taste fill up her iPod?



Make it to CLNE (read all 3 entries…)
Got there!

right up to and even when I got on the plane, I wasn’t sure that I was going to make it to CLNE (Children’s Literature New England)—but get there I did! It was a great experience, which I have blogged about fairly thoroughly at
http://www.misrule.com.au/serendipity

Hopefully, I’ll make it to the final CLNE, to be held in Virginia next year—another Thing to add to the list, perhaps!
