October-November Linkspam

October was a blast, or at least it must have been, because I hardly remember it! Somehow each year there’s a month that just sort of disappears in a melee of overbookedness, and it’s usually October. That’s why you’re getting two months’ worth of schtuff at once!

This is my favorite time of the year. I used to delight in Halloween and then jump impatiently to Christmas, but as I grow older, Thanks
