New Years Celebration and X-mass Wrap-up

Happy New Years Eve one and all, as you may have guessed I was busy the past week to update (or keep my planed update schedule).  I have escaped the back woods and returned to the big city, but not with out some bumps and bruises mind you.  Christmas was uneventful for me and I’m once again reminded why I don’t have kids. But I will save kids and parenting for a rant day. 
            I returned this past Saturday and promptly went out the next day.  Taking my new Christmas gear out for a stroll my man and I went out to lunch at Brave Horse Tavern.  I loved the décor and immediately thought that my mom would feel right at home here.  We sat at the bar ordered a couple of drinks and relaxed with fresh backed pretzels and three different condiments.  The first one was a peanut butter and bacon, the second was a cheddar cheese with spices, and the last one was sour cream and onion.  We also had some burgers but I wouldn’t go back for them; they were tasty but for the price it isn’t worth it and you have to order fries separately.
            Later that night we went to the Uptown Theater to see Les Miserables that came out a week ago.  My man has seen the musical stage version numerous times but this was the first time that he realized that the story was about Jean Valjean.  The film was decent, what you would expect from a musical, but I don’t know why they cast Russell Crowe.  The man has zero vocal range, his pitch as off half the time and he acted like he is only doing this for a paycheck.  But like I said I overall enjoyed the film and a majority of the cast.
            Well have a good and safe New Years to everyone and I will be updating on Wednesday with a review on Hue lighting system to kick off my new segment on game/nerd themed parties.

            See you on the other side.
