Going Somewhere

So it's been a while since I've written anything, and this post will be different from my past posts. I saw Les Miserables , on 12/27/2012 with three of my good friends from high school. We went to a 10:10 pm showing and were in an uncrowded theater. Several of my good friends from college saw the movie before I was able to and told me it was a great film, but not to expect the 25th anniversary voices. With that knowledge, and my own assumptions based on the film/stage history of the actors and actresses in the film I went in with an open mind.

They say the light is at the end of the tunnel. Once I'm out, I'll agree. It's still quite gusty. Empty. Rainbow. I know I'll see one. You promised. ~K.J...
