+ Kalyn went on a short tour of Capital Region doughnut shops.

+ We plead guilty to a moving violation for dorkiness.

+ Look, a new Phantogram video.

+ Where the Easter Bunny shops in the Capital Region.

+ Blue Pants apparently has gone rogue.

+ Jess told us about an effort to start up a local men's roller derby team.

+ A few of the items found on Craigslist this week: armadillos from a broken home, a guy who's one part furry woodland creature and Iraqi dinars.

+ Albany continued to co-star with Angelina.

+ Kalyn checked out a handful of model train shops.

+ And David Paterson was up in one poll -- though he'd probably prefer not to be.
