• New Thing Learned for 31 March: Some marketing genius noticed the correspondence between the ten biblical plagues and the average human's number of fingers, and turned this insight into Ten Plagues of Egypt Finger Puppets. I so want to buy a set of these to wear to the premiere of that Hilary Swank movie... [Source: Passover display at my local supermarket.]
  
  
• New Thing Learned for 1 April: I could quite happily have gone my entire life without seeing William H. Macy's ass. Well, okay, I suppose I could have deduced that one. [Source: "The Cooler".]

The Media Consumption Project wrapped up March with only 11 books and 4 films logged, which is a shade ahead of February's disappointing performance of 9 books but still way off 2006's pace of 44 books for the first quarter. Looking on the bright side, though, April already has 2 books and a film down on the tally, so things may be looking up. Or down, depending how geeky one considers the act of competing with oneself to quantify exactly how overboard one's reading habits are. But at least I finally finished the knitting-guild newsletter, so I can go out-geek myself in peace for the next three weeks.
