Fill Me In #282: I listen best if I’m not also talking at the same time.

This week, Brian goes back to school, Ryan suffers no sophomore slumps, and both agree that old candy is old. There's a brand new non-crossword contest (you can download it at http://bit.ly/fmi282con), and you should check out our twice-weekly Twitch stream at https://www.twitch.tv/nextdoorcomics on Wednesdays and Saturdays at 4pm PT / 7pm ET.

Stuff to click:

• Mokelfish's new blog and puzzle site
• Boswords.org
• Kameron Austin Collins's essay on XWordInfo
• Amanda Rafkin's blog
• Brooke Husic's blog
