Boooooooo! Fucking boooooooooo. Someone hand me a tomato.
Was excited to have a free evening until I was reminded that I agreed months ago to see "Wicked: For Good" tonight with some friends. Normally I'm psyched for a movie, but it really feels like I'm just going to put the reps in on this one.

Day three of having a stye.
