•We were forced to wrestle once again with the menacing visage of Courtney Love.

• We dealt with the death of owning books in the age of the Kindle and how that fits in with understanding why today’s hot web ideas arrive and die.

• For no particular reason we decided to learn how to properly enjoy Four Loko.

• Our Thanksgiving cookbook is growing ever more frightening and it will become truly terrifying by the time that horrorful day arrives.

• And we thought about dead bodies and then decided to embrace the word “lungry” and tried to exorcise the jingles we’ve heard in our head since we were five years old.
