I took an extra day off last week due to my lower back pain and general feelings of crappiness, so my weekly total went down a little. I’ve officially signed up for the Running Festival Half-Marathon though, so there’s no backing out now. I’m on Week 5 of my 20 week training program, so I’m 25% of the way through. I’ve got plenty of time.
This week: 19.86km (12.4mi)
Last week: 22.39km (14mi)
@Ezzles Ohhhhh, I think that would be very, very good. Like turkey sandwiches with cranberry. Fruit goes very well with ham and cheese. 🙂
Official New Moon trailer is up: http://bit.ly/H3Wmi . And man, that is the fakest-lookin’ damn werewolf I have ever seen.
@brodrigu *hand up* Data point. I’ll back that up.
Leftover coq au vin for lunch. I think I am finally starting to come around on mushrooms! They’ve gone from yuck to bleh to almost tasty…
Aww, who’s a cute widdly fluffy were-puppy? EXACTLY. http://bit.ly/NlHgO
Even xkcd is getting in on the Twilight action: http://xkcd.com/591/ Ha!
Ack. Post-boxing sneeze attack on the bus. No tissues. I’M A MONSTER!

iPhone: for when you need to know NOW what weapon Leonardo the Ninja Turtle used. (Snook won that bet.)
@Timmay83 I think you’ll find it was a KATANA BLADE, but yeah. Basically a sword.
Woo! Congrats to @kellymcmahon for winning the Cubs contest. She gets to throw out 1st pitch at Sep. 2 game!
Weird. Doing a vanity search on Bing brings up my Twitter profile as the 1st result?! http://bit.ly/steDW

This makes me sick. And what REALLY annoys me is that these articles make Dr. Tiller sound like he was killing perfectly healthy babies. He wasn’t. He specialized in terminations “after the fetus has been diagnosed with a birth defect: a deformed heart, missing kidneys, Down’s syndrome, anencephaly.” I can’t imagine what it’s like to be told your child has no brain and will never come to term. I can’t imagine the mindset that would drive a person to shoot and kill a doctor who helps women in that situation. I just donated some money to the International Planned Parenthood Federation.
Willy Wagtail is flitting around the garden, flagrantly showing off in front of Petey, who cracked his head on the glass trying to get him.

That was actually one single loooong run. I lost GPS halfway through and had to restart. My back ached the whole way. 🙁
Coq au vin is simmering on the stove. Time for a glass of wine. Feeling very FRONCH tonight!
“Wow! So this weekend we finally got contents insurance and I told you what I want you to do with my corpse. I feel so grown-up.”
@Justacogitating I took it to mean she was leaving to ESCAPE guys she didn’t want to be with. Which sucks, but better than your version!
Trying to decide if new person at work used “Chester draws” ironically in her email about furniture for sale. I fear not.

Huh. Not very productive on the blogging front here lately, am I? It’s been a sucky couple of weeks, actually. There’s been a lot going on at work, and I’ve had too many extra commitments happening on my weekends. My back hurts. The weather is cold. My stomach is playing up again. The cats have been waking me up too early. I’m just worn out.
That said, I finally got to have a nice, relaxing weekend. Friday night we went to Nilgiris in St. Leonards for Amy’s birthday. That was fun! We had this way cool little private cushion room upstairs, and the food was excellent. Saturday the Snook and I finally made it over to the Eveleigh Farmers’ Market, where we battled hipsters for ingredients to make coq au vin. (The recipe is in the latest Delicious magazine; uses spatchcock instead of rooster.) I spent a great deal of both Saturday and Sunday working on a knitted vest for Andrew and Kathleen‘s new baby. (Congratulations, guys!) Tonight I went for a long 70min run around Glebe and Newtown, which was okay except for my back aching. We had our coq au vin (which was excellent). We finally picked out a contents insurance plan (spurred on by reports of recent burglaries). And now I’m really looking forward to bed.
BRING ON JUNE!
We Are Married Too – a great new blog from my friends Matt and Christopher. I know a few other couples I need to send this to…
Went to Eveleigh Farmers’ Market. Not sure which was more annoying: crowds of inner west hipsters or paying $7 for a tub of cream cheese.
Actually, it turned out to be damn good cream cheese, so the seven bucks seems justified.

My home economics teacher taught us to use “J cloths” as press cloths. (Cellulose cleaning cloths). The upside of using…
We have the Harold McGee book, v interesting and often useful. Right up his alley I reckon!
