A Happy Ending

It's my last day in New York. It's my last day in America. In less than 24 hours, I will be in the air, and on the way back to England. Considering I'm almost out of money, that's probably a good thing.

I've hit a few revelations on this holiday, such as my consideration of religious guidance has been worthwhile, though unpractised, and that through that, I will become a person of love.

I listened to a lot of music too. A lot of music that wasn't mine, and some of it made a big impression. Santana and Michelle Branch is my road trip song, and that cool Cure song which has that awesome synth intro and chorus (The Walk?), that played in Starbucks, as did Jack Johnson. The DDR Butterfly song as well was important, but the most memorable songs will be On The Radio, and listening to Kiana and Charlie sing Light My Candle or something, with and without backing.

Kiana plays a lot of Rent songs, and I really enjoyed them, which adds sugar to the fact that today I won a discount ticket to go and see Rent.

They hold a lottery every performance for 34 tickets to go for only $20. I entered everyday (twice on Wednesday) only to lose, while several winners won twice. I found it unfair, until they called my name today, the final day that I could enter, the last day here. And I have the ticket. And I'm seeing it in an hour and a half. I cannot express how happy this has made me, it's what I've been hoping for since Monday, and it has made my day (which hasn't been as hot, thankfully).

So, I have had faith in karma re-established, and I'll enjoy my final bite from the Big Apple. I have $12 left, and Becky still wants sweets. I think I'll have to get my credit card working. I owe part of this lack of money to the comedy having a two drink minimum, and no cheap drinks, as well as Chambers Street station eating $6 of my money in a failed ticket update. But I have enough to get back to England, and I leave with no bitterness. Plus, Starbucks water is free.

I'll post this, and relax for a while. I have a show to see tonight.
