Train Dreams lived up to my very high expectations. What a wonderful film.

My 2026 goals are pretty simple this year. Concentrate my time on energy on new things (personally & especially professionally). Continue to travel as much as possible. Spend more time with friends/family!

Broncos are AFC West champions!!!!!!! 🧡💙

Behold the amazing cat I am snuggling this Christmas!

Glad I am in Vail for a few days for Christmas with family and our plans did not involve skiing because 😬

Ok, we’re all rooting for Montana State in the national championship game because one of their standout player’s grandparents came to my wedding 20 years ago. 😂

You know you grew up in Montana when they say a player’s name during the Montana-Montana St. game and your husband (also from MT) mentions how we know his family 🤣

The Force Awakens meant a lot to me for a variety of reasons but the third time I saw it in theaters also had one of favorite in-theater moments. I took my kids (who had already seen it once) and my mom (her 1st time). When it got to the fight between Finn & Kylo in the forest & Finn went down 1/2

I keep thinking about the phlebotomist I crossed paths with earlier today that described herself as a "gentle vampire" when I complemented her. Wish I could get her every time I needed a blood draw - she set a new standard.

Me: Writes up a massive pre-Christmas to-do list Power company: We're probably gonna turn your power off for 12+ hours tomorrow because of the wind...

I'll bet one of the local pizza chains in CO didn't think when they offered a hefty discount when the Broncos win the Broncos would win 11 games in a row. But it's pizza night again for me!

Amazing NFL day today - 60 degrees at Broncos game so I won’t freeze & it’s not horrible if they lose, but when they win they clinch playoffs! Chargers or Chiefs WILL lose! Snow game in NE & the return of Phillip Rivers 😬 (worried about him getting sacked).

When I see a video that is obviously AI generated I feel the same way as when I turn on a TV & it has motion smoothing. I just don’t need that shit in my life.

Everybody gets Santa hats and scarves for their LEGO droids. Right? RIGHT????

I took a look back at The Force Awakens (teaser/opening minutes) for Star Wars dot com. One of my 1st articles there was a deep dive into Rey's introduction in TFA so this was a really fun one for me. TFA is still my favorite of the sequel trilogy. www.starwars.com/news/star-wa...

Every time I’m at my mom’s house she gives me something (she’s in purge mode) and more and more she’s giving me back things I am pretty sure I gifted her decades ago 😂

I also always put up my Force Awakens ornaments but they are even more fun to look at on the 10th anniversary!

Some new and old favorites on the tree this year!

Interviewed an ILM legend today about a movie I adored when I was a young teen. Good day!

As a former film archivist this is extremely exciting news & will hopefully lead to a physical release of the original version because the original versions of the Star Wars trilogy are IMPORTANT FILM HISTORY ARTIFACTS & I'll be screaming about that until I kick it. www.starwars.com/news/star-wa...

I'm re-watching The Americans and I just got to "Do Mail Robots Dream of Electric Sheep" and Lois Smith really has one of the best guest actor performances of all time in this one.

Turned in what I think will be my last piece for Star Wars Insider. 🥲

I had not followed Jacob Tierney’s work since 1993 when I was a PA on the indie Josh and S.A.M. & Jacob & I were on the same raft during a white water cast & crew excursion. I was 20, he was a young teen. 1/2

Check out Mellody’s My Cause My Cleats choice for the game tonight 👀 Go Broncos!!

#Wolverine: The Ultimate Guide A fun reference book from DK, with key events and characters from throughout Logan’s history. Bonus points for the awesome cover, based on the classic Wolverine 50 die-cut cover. Written by @amyrichau.bsky.social & #winwiacek @dkbooks.bsky.social

Getting Covid for my 2nd overall time is a very 2025 thing to happen in this not-great year of 2025. (I’m feeling much better today)

Made it almost 2 years between respiratory bugs 🫠 hopefully this one stays mild!

Give a listen and let me know what part of Star Wars: A Musical Journey is your favorite. And yes, my maiden name was Witcher and if I ever publish non-IP stuff I might use that name again :) It's currently my legal second middle name & sadly my ancestors do not appear to have been witches.

This was my dream podcast topic for completely selfish reasons but also Star Wars: A Musical Journey is amazing & everyone should see it!

In case you were wondering I was shaking & my husband and the guy next to him got “high heart rate” notifications from their Apple Watches at the end of that Broncos game 🤣🎉🎉🎉

If you, like me, are doing some early Thanksgiving prep, I highly recommend these lovelies from @kelly-knox.com & @hollyfrey.bsky.social!

Is this cool? Yes. Does it look anything remotely like this when just looking into the sky? No. 😂

Predator: Badlands did not disappoint!

“You know what would be funny? If we both needed medicated food but DIFFERENT medicated food.” My cats, apparently.

Today is the day you can buy the massive update to Wolverine: The Ultimate Guide!A book where I pitched keeping in more trauma/violence at times as well as adding in a spread devoted to Wolverine as a mentor to young mutants. He’s a complicated guy!!

Someone please tell Goose he is not a Flerken and puking like he’s trying to shoot a tentacle out of his mouth will not make him a Flerken (recently back from the vet so road to recovery has begun).

I loved Star Wars Insider for many years before I had the chance the write articles for it. And they are some of my favorites! Interviewing women who have voiced Leia over the years, fanzine creators, deep diving the Jedi Council. Sad news. www.starwars.com/news/star-wa...

Daughter finally back at her dorm (small miracle since she connected thru Charlotte) & husband’s connecting flight through O’hare finally took off as well. Everyone working at airports this weekend is a hero - sounds like a shitstorm all around.

Author copies arrived! Love what DK did with the cover!! It’s out next Tuesday 🎉

I can’t stop laughing at the accuracy of these 🤣

Shout out to the people who paid me money to watch that Broncos ugly win in person - good grief. 8-2 has never felt so not-good 🤣

Tonight's Broncos game is the only home game I won't be in the stands for (cries about missing their throwbacks under the lights) & I'm considering only tuning in for the 4th quarter so I can have more of a calm evening and not be an absolute stress disaster for three hours.

Not a great weekend for my husband & daughter to be flying separate flights (with connections) on a very important trip - getting to their destination tonight - but will either be able to get home this weekend? Who knows? Such a “winning” system we have in the US 😵‍💫 (too long to drive/no train fyi)

Colorado voted yesterday to pay for free school lunches by taxing the rich. The ballot was beautifully clear with a tiny table showing if you made less than 300K you pay nothing - and you’d pay less than $500 if you make over that. Tax the rich!!

It was so great that in my daughter’s first chance to vote there was a prop that directly impacted where she’s worked for years - local rec center. Local elections are so important - please vote today if there’s an election in your area!

Love you, Bills!!!!!!!!!

Don’t mess this up, Bills!!!

Warming up for the last day of State Ultimate tournament. Amazing CO weather!

🎉🎉🎉 So excited for this sequel from the amazing Kelly Knox!!

I think I hate AI summaries as fiercely as I do because I helped teach 3rd graders how to summarize short articles a few years ago & it was such a struggle but the payoff was amazing.
