In one of the torrents I am downloading from I am apparently seeding to myself from the future?! Maniacs, this is freaking me out. Have any of you had similar experiences with time travel and meeting your future self, whether physically or over the internet? I swear on my life this is not photoshopped in any way.

Hello all!
a. I bought this amazing leather jacket on sale (MNG, you are my new best friend) last week, and I've been wearing it almost every day since. Despite my best efforts to treat it as nicely as possible, the stitching on the pockets is already beginning to come undone. SUCKS TO BE ME. Would anybody like to recommend me a really good tailor (northern suburbs or CBD would be nice) who'd be able to fix it for a decent price and not destroy my jacket?
b. Fairly similar sob story: I've put my favourite pair of vintage Yves Saint Laurent boot-heel-shoes through a bit of trauma - one of the heels is coming loose, and they're a bit dirty and scuffed. They're silk, I think. Shoe-repairer recommendations?
c. SHOE PORN.
Your turn. Have a great weekend, kids.

Advertising for my dance teacher, hope that's okay.
Some of you may know that Underbelly has closed down but classes still continue in different locations. Melusina (known for her tribal style) and Prue (I highly recommend her belly burlesque class) are starting their Term 3 classes at a new location at Saint Brigid's Parish Hall, 378 Nicolson Street, North Fitzroy (corner of Alexandra Parade).
If you've been thinking about getting fit/losing weight but hell is the gym, sign up for the BellyFit class. It's a cardio class based on belly dance movements. Fun!
See flyer for timetable, prices, class info, and teacher profiles.
The timetables can also be viewed on the Underbelly website in the teacher directory under Prue.
5% Discount off each additional enrolment in Full Term 1 hour classes.
Classes start on Monday so sign up fast!

| Cheap (even free!) stuff :) |
[02 Jul 2009|03:35pm] |
( Pictures & Info.. )Hey Kids,
I know you're probably sick of these posts but I figured it was worth a shot. I'm getting rid of a bunch of random things, but i know lots of people (like myself) are distinctly broke right now and probably can't buy them. So I figure, if there's anything here that you really want but can't afford, let me know and we can work something out. Depending on the item i may be willing to trade it for a good recipe, a story, or I may just give it to you for free if you seem genuine and nice.
I'm currently located in Mt Eliza and pick-up is always the most awesome option, but for the smaller items (anything that isn't furniture) I'm willing to bring them into the city next time I go in (I know I'll be there tomorrow arvo/night, after that i'm not sure). Wherever you are it's worth asking :)
Anyway if you're interested leave me a comment or feel free to email me at trains_hurt@hotmail.com
In the meantime I hope you're all having a good afternoon!

Why are Channel 9 playing repeats of The View?? I wanted to hear their take on everything thats going on with Michael Jackson.
Is The View on holidays or something?? Or do Channel 9 just suck at programming? Last week all the Ellen's were repeats.

| Part time job available - CBD |
[01 Jul 2009|09:55am] |
As this worked well last time, I thought I'd put another job ad on LJ!
I have a part time (permanent for the right candidate) role available for an immediate start. 15 hours a week, 5 hours Monday, Wednesday & Friday with an 8am start.
The main responsibility of the role is distribution and management of office consumables and also includes other general admin functions. The role does involve some lifting and trolley pushing.
No experience is required however a positive and enthusiastic attitude is! Be part of a fun team, working in a corporate environment in the CBD.
If you are interested, please send through your resume to kineticbeat at hotmail

| FREE COUCH |
[01 Jul 2009|08:40am] |
I was trying to sell it but have had no luck and now I desperately need to get rid of it.
Anyone want a free couch?? It's a black IKEA 'Kippon' 2 seater & is in decent condition.
Only conditions are that it will need to be picked up from Burnley either Thursday or Friday evening & that you will need to carry it down some stairs.
( PICTURE HERE! )
Any takers?

Hi Maniacs,
Would you recommend/not recommend the Greater Union cinema on Russell Street in the city?
Is the cinema crap or is it a dodgy area at night?

| job brainstorming |
[30 Jun 2009|10:36am] |
Hi guys,
Something happened at my husband's work yesterday and I came home to the announcement that he needs a new job. Pronto.
Which is all well and good except that I can't think of very many jobs that he'd be happy with / do well in, let alone find one, and have him successfully apply.
He's been a bricklayer most of his life, minus a 3 year stint at uni (he didn't finish the degree) some tutoring jobs, and the regular teenage jobs at Big W etc.
I'm obviously agreeable to a large paycut as long as he's happy - but he's never really had a boss, or any customer service experience. He'd be fine with admin work and any sort of labouring job. I'd send him back to uni if *I* wasn't still at uni and therefore we wouldn't have any money at all.
I'm firing up Seek, but I don't even know what I'm looking for. Any ideas?
Thanks guys

| French language classes |

Hi guys :) I'm sure this has been addressed before at some time but hopefully you'll all forgive me.
I'm looking to get back into French again and would love some input on your personal experiences with French classes at the CAE vs at Alliance.
I have lived in the country for a year, studied the language in high school and (briefly) at university but I'm far from proficient - except possibly in franglais ;) I can get the gist of most things and make myself understood but my grammar is atrocious and I couldn't conjugate my way out of a paper bag at the moment, let alone try anything more complicated or abstract. Funny how that happens when you only converse with people who speak english, then do no study for almost two years. So yes.
1. How many of you have taken french classes at the CAE? At Alliance? How did you find it?
2. The CAE course I'm looking at is the French Conversation and Grammar class. Has anyone done this particular one? Does it sound like it'll suit my completely random level of proficiency?
3. Alliance looks more structured and I'm worried I'll end up either going at snails pace through stuff I just need a quick revision on, or grappling at something beyond my level. Any advice levels wise?
4. Alliance - I know it has moved in the last 5 years - it's on Grey St now I believe? Some classes end at 9 - is it okay round there that time of night?
Obviously proficiency wise I'll check with the institutions too but wanted to get some feedback from you guys as well :)
Thanks!

| Pet friendly? |
[29 Jun 2009|07:35pm] |
I'm trying to find a pet friendly home.
Is there a simple way of doing this?
Are there any organisations or shops that would have listings for pet friendly homes only, or is the only way of doing it scouring through the millions of listings that will mostly not be pet friendly?

Free fridge and a washing machine! Neither are brand new, but they both work well. Here's the catch: They need to be picked up from Richmond tomorrow night after 6pm. Has to be tomorrow night, because if they're still here Wednesday morning they're being picked up by a scrap place. ( Attached dodgy photography ) So, if you'd like them and can sort something for tomorrow, leave a comment or shoot me an email. Update: And they're gone!
