I already miss NY. I can't wait to go again. Times Square is the greatest place in the world. Can't wait to work there when I grow up... Doing 8 shows of RENT a week at the Nederlander....I can't wait. Plus, they have Tad's Steak. You can get a killer steak and baked potato for about 7 dollars. It's rad.
Aida was, actually, really really good. A lot better than I thought it was gonna be. Too bad Adam wasn't in it....BITCH! But Mickey Dolenz was pretty rad. I also liked the skinny little black guy who jumped around. And those soldiers with the hot bods and no shirts.....I mean, and the part where the girls were only in towels...Ahem, anyways...The lighting was really good. It really impressed me. I don't usually notice that stuff, but it was really really good.
Big news. I have now left the country. Not only that, but I've given someeone props in 191 different countries. All at once. Man, the UN was pretty cool. I was gonna ask our Iranian tourguide what his position on Bush is, but I thought it better if I held that question.
Then we went on the ferry to Ellis and Liberty Islands. Then we hit the USS Intrepid museum. Life changing experiences, at least temporarily, because I still feel like I'm on a boat. Ugh...
All in all a pretty good trip, except ever adult there except for a couple were uber bitches. We had these creepy tourguides around the city who came outta nowhere and started bossing us around. I wanted to be like "excuse me...WHO ARE YOU???" The lady had an umbrella. In 90 degree, sunny weather. Creepy.

Song Quote of the Day- "Nothing is an accident, we are free to have it all. We are what we want to be, it's in ourselves to rise or fall. This is easy to believe when distant places call to me. It's harder from the palace yard. Fortune favors the free."-Aida, Fortune Favors the Brave
"Good bye, proud world! I'm going home; Thou art not my friend, and I'm not thine"-Ralph Waldo Emerson
