I finally saw the film Wicked. Mixed feelings. It was too long (and this is Part 1), the CGI is distracting, the songs are meh except for “Defying Gravity,” and the school scenes are a Harry Potter/Wednesday ripoff. But the lead actor (Cynthia Erivo) made it worthwhile, and disguised politics make the movie feel relevant!

How ADVENTITIOUS is your life?
ADVENTITIOUS (adjective) = happening or carried on according to chance rather than by design
The word originates from the Latin adventicius, meaning "coming from outside" or "foreign."
"During the annual town pie-eating contest, Gerald's victory was entirely adventitious—he hadn't intended to compete at all. In fact, he had only wandered into the event looking for directions to the library. But after being mistaken for a contestant and handed a bib, he figured, "Why not?" Five blueberry pies later, Gerald was hoisted onto the crowd's shoulders, still chewing and utterly bewildered by his newfound, accidental fame." --Chat GPT
