I set up a camera to watch my rosebush. You can see a live picture of my rosebush here or by clicking on the little rosebush sitting on the W in the header. The camera watches 24/7. If you’re lucky, you might catch me watering it some time.
The Chamberlain Announces:
Qwertz will be celebrating his sexvigintennial a week from this Saturday. The wishlist has been updated.

I will shortly be making my gloriatial and spectaculary return to regular substantive blogging. I have much in the way of Yuletide dramatics to relate. Topics will include:
The Bhutto Assassination
My Sister’s Graduation
My Sister’s Job Interview
Families & The Holidays
Gift-Giving
I will also be cleaning up all these half-finished movie reviews.
I am happy to announce that the unplanned, unannounced hiatus on which I have been for the past week or so is finally over! Excitement!
Unfortunately, the planned, announced hiatus on which I am now going has only just begun. Unfortunate!
The last few weeks of the semester are at hand, and will be followed inevitably and diabolically by the extremely unpleasant exam week. I’m sure there are fives, maybe even tens of you out there who have missed me this past week, and, alas, you shall all just have to go on missing me for a while longer. Woe!
I shall see you again on the other side!
Update: The timing of these hiatuses with respect to the WGA strike is purely coincidental. Don’t confuse my motives for hiatusing with this nonesense.
Update 2: Okay, well, by “hiatus,” I mean “sort of hiatus; don’t expect anything, but that doesn’t mean I might not post something occasionally.”
Netflix has gone and done something wonky that messed up the Netflix widget and broke the site for a while. Lovely if(isset($var)) statements have fixed the problem, but the queue still doesn’t show. At least, not from where I’m sitting. It might be a magpie issue. Your cache may vary. Either Netflix changed the format of the RSS feed with my queue in it, thereby messing up the regular expressions the Netflix widget uses to extract pertinent movie data from the feed, resulting in a null set of results, and which will require actual work on my part to fix, or my cache simply contains an anomalous empty copy of the feed, again resulting in a null set of results, but which will resolve itself in due time. Either way, failure of the widget to set the necessary variables will no longer break the entire site like it did before.
Update: Everything is back to normal now. Please let me know if anyone sees any further misbehavior of the Netflix widget.
