^ haha your on the ball. I head to one in my city thats kinda hidden behind a main road near quite a rich area. Managed to score an awesome oakleys sweater and a couple others that would of costed easily over 200 dollars.
Exactly.I've got some awesome designer stuff from op shopping - shit that's worth in the high hundreds yet I get change from a $50. The trick is to go to the ones in more upmarket areas, rich people be so wasteful (if I may generalise horribly for a moment).
All the city op-shops in Melbourne get trawled through so thoroughly it's hard to find good stuff. Country stores, though, are great.
Damn, hotgirls.. keep on keeping on. Bring the science into the data and make it all commonplace. Make this shit mundane. Make it simple. Make it another day to day aspect of life. So many have fallen because these issues are outside the mainstream/considered deviant in some way.
No surprise about melbourne. We have the best everything :DI wish I still did research stuff but I currently can't work due to health problems (MS). I do my bit to educate everyone I meet as best I can. It is kind of scary how much people don't know when it comes to drugs and health related stuff (users and drug-naive alike).
Would love to go back to uni to study epidemiology though...that's where the real shit is!
It's great that you're exploring traditional Irish music and teaching yourself dancing! Regarding jury duty, experiences can vary widely. Some find it reaffirming, while others encounter challenges. It's a complex system with both strengths and limitations.^ funny, i've been obsessed with traditional irish music lately; specifically the really old ballads and rebel songs.
A lot of that stuff is really the foundation of a lot of modern (non electronic) music, from the folk tradition into rock'n'roll and pop.
I love dancing as well, but i'm totally self-taught.
I can't think of anything interesting about myself that would maintain my pseudo-anonymity...
I'm curious though - d_m; did jury duty give you more or less faith in our justice system?
I've heard of jury members being horrified by the ignorance displayed by their fellow jurors - or did you have a good bunch of '12 honest citizens'?
