Draco Malfoy’s got nothin’ on me.
I ordered the shirt a few weeks ago from Tee Fury.

Robot Skirt
I forgot to mention that I finished my third skirt! This is the same A-line pattern that I used for the previous two. (It’s the one from the class I did at the Sewing Room last year.) The fabric is a thick cotton drill I got when I was visiting my Mom in the U.S. last year. Fun!
The shoes are new Converse “re-issues” I got last weekend from Platypus. Only $39!
I’d heard about Momofuku’s Cereal Milk Ice Cream before, but I didn’t realise a recipe was available. SNOOK: I WANT THIS.
Ooh, Bex linked to this great dirndl skirt tutorial. Fun! I need to get a big roll of tracing paper so I can draft some patterns.
Week 3
This week was packed with exercise! It started on Saturday with a core workout (36 push ups, 71 sit ups, and 55 squats). Sunday was my long run. It was technically Week 9 of my Galloway marathon plan, so the scheduled LSR was 9 miles. I did it with 2:1 run/walk intervals the whole way, and I ran the middle 6K with Miss Fee. After resting Monday, I did an easy recovery run Tuesday morning and a Spudds circuit that night. I did another Spudds class Wednesday at lunchtime. Thursday I did another core workout (39 push ups, 79 sit ups, and 60 squats). And today I ran to work in the morning wearing a heavy backpack. PHEW!
Jan 16. 14.91km
Jan 18: 6.06km
Jan 21: 5.37km
Total this week: 26.34km (16.5mi)
Total in 2011: 64.53km (40.3mi)
To meet my goal of running 1100km in 2011, I should be at 63.46km. So I’m now 1km ahead of pace! This next week will be another cutback week, so I’m going to try to rest up before the next long one.

The Girl’s Guide to Having an Abortion. Straightforward, non-political, non-gory facts about what is involved in terminating a pregnancy. Statistically 1/3 of American women will have or have had an abortion. Even if you are 100% against it, you should know what you’re arguing against.
Should I Work for Free? A handy flowchart for those in the creative profession… or any profession, really. (As god is my witness, I will get someone to take over as Guild webmaster this year!)

Brisbane Floods: Before and After. Brilliant gallery from the ABC showing aerial photos of Brisbane with a neat mouseover swipe effect. I had been thinking we were pretty lucky being in Sydney, but recently I found out that Sydney had floods in 1986. Unfortunately I can’t find any resources online that describe exactly which parts of Sydney suffered. Anybody know where I can find a floodplain map?!
Update: Shite. This story has a firsthand account from someone about the ’86 floods. “The only way I could get home (to the Inner West) was to walk. There were no buses, because much of Broadway was flooded, with water around 1 metre deep all the way from Railway Square to the intersection of City Road.” GREAT.
