I'm back. Hey, guys, I'm back!! The jingle bells rung, the New Years Ball dropped and I got to see (and ski in) some of that cold, frozen, white stuff that falls from the sky on more than one occasion. It was delicious. However, so is being back in the sun of Los Angeles. I will ignore the fact that it is a balmy 57 degrees here. Yes, here in LaLaLand, 57 degrees counts as balmy.
I was able to work less than I expected, so sorry for the delay on our Favorites of 2012 lists, but as I prep them, I thought it would be fun to do a review of the year of Screened. These are some of the bigger (and my favorite) Screened stories, features and marathons that you must start right now from the last year. Just in case you missed anything. It's been an incredible (and strange sometimes, I know) time since March, and I am honored you have let me into your world. Enjoy!
And...don't tell my family but I'm happy to be back. Also, in case anybody missed it - "Hi, this is me."
Happy New Year!
