- Women in modern games: WoW Cataclysm has some pretty cool women in it. Let’s hope for a trend! – Excellent. I haven’t encountered any of these characters yet, but this article makes me more inclined to keep playing. (Unlike an actual meatspace dude who went out of his way to tell me my in-game character was ugly. WTF?)

Robot Skirt
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!

Cereal Milk Ice Cream
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.

RunningBlog: 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 Fiona. 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

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.
