• Thanks to Jerry, I'm now addicted to “America's Next Top Model.” Yikes. My capsule review of the Cycle 9 premiere is here.

• The new “Bionic Woman” really sucked.

• Loving an album given to me by Lucas: Siobhan Donaghy, “Ghosts,” which apparently came out in early summer but I never heard any of it until now. Here’s the video for “So You Say.”

• Scrabulous on Facebook = crack cocaine.

• The latest crime report doodle appears above. I also really liked last week’s.
