Jan 5th Sky overcast grey maybe rain again later. Lowering sky. In the gloom before the gloaming. Nontheless lucid.

Brightening up now. Kind-hearted thoughts towards all.

Many lacunae in this. Avoiding effrontery about weather. Culminating in calumniation?

Meanwhile on a cosmic scale, astronomically, it has been speculated by renowned astrophysicist, Brian Cox, that stellar behemoth Betelgeuse, a Red Giant. in Orion will become a Supernova? Only a guess The video I'm watching is narrated by annoying A.I. that wrongly pronounces words.

Thought:

Doofus the stupid

The poster mimics Michelangelo's The Creation of Adam and is pink on the left and green on the right. Glinda is in the bottom left in a pink dress, reaching up to Elphaba, who's in the top right in a black dress, witch's hat and on a broomstick, reaching down to Glinda. In the middle, both hands are outstretched but not touching, and the film's tagline is written in white text on separate lines: "Everyone deserves a chance to fly". The landscape of the Land of Oz is in the background.
