The department of fascinating and hilarious unintended consequences

I seem to have accidentally become the keeper of the family religious calendar. You see, because of my own obsession with building my own religious calendar, I have a draft version of it up in Google calendar. To this I have added the family chore rota calendar, the family medical appointments calendar, the family "fun stuff we might like to do" calendar, artan_eter's class schedule calendar, the moon phase calendar, the Jewish calendar, and probably a couple of others that I can't think of at the moment. My Google calendar is a deeply cluttered place.

But anyway - between trying to track my own religious observances and keeping up the professional blog (where I try (and even often succeed) to write about festivals a few days before they happen), I check my calendar regularly. Which means things like calling up teinedreugan a few weeks ago to ask him to pick up hamantashen on the way home for whispercricket. (KJ has declared these "hashmashin!")

This leads to things like the Egyptian pagan pottering about making a horseradish-crusted roast over roasted salted celery and matzo ball soup on her dinner night. Currently roasting garlic.

My life: it makes me happy.
