A quick recap of the week

week review

Here are a few highlights from the past week on AOA:

+ Jess told us about the worms living under Leah's sink.

+ The Other Guys shoot wrapped up, but not before flipping out.

+ The "Blue State Sarah Palin" is from New York.

+ Jess let us know that Cardona's is getting cheesier.

+ Some odd weather created a bunch of rainbows.

+ A study indicated that laws like the one Albany County passed requiring calorie counts to be listed on menus don't actually get people to eat fewer calories.

+ Jess took us inside St. Joseph's.

+ What was up in the Neighborhood this week: arm candy, eggplant, soup, Korean food, precision, They Might Be Giants, the metric system, scandal, fish fry, tamales, strippers, delis, vending machines, fungus and germs.

+ The Corning Tower has 42 stories -- theories abound about why.

+ The new Albany Public Library locations will be not be using the Dewey Decimal System -- and one of the librarians stopped by to explain why.

+ Ben Folds tweeted a short tour of the ESP.

+ A few of the items found on Craigslist this week: Paco the Mealy Amazon, a woman looking for a father figure, a hookah and "a very good looking a**hole."

+ A new study reported that flights into ALB are on time most of the time.

+ Steve Martin and his banjo are coming to Troy.

+ Flu season is here. Already.

+ So, you know, be careful playing drinking games.
