Sha Sha, Sha Do

So at least every semester or so, I always have one elective that I really get into. For instance, last year I had a plant biology class. So for about 4 months I was really interested in plants and flowers and the like.

Well, this semester I am taking an Astronomy class which I am starting to get into. On my way home tonight from Oxford I was just naturally looking up at the sky while I drove home. As I approached Calhoun City, I was looking at a really bright star just off to the west. It was the only star visible under the Waxing Gibbous moonlight. Then, to the south I noticed another bright reddish star emerging through the haze of the night sky and becoming really bright.

I made my way through town and as I got past BP I was able to see the stars again. This time, I noticed that strangely the bright star to the south had quickly moved closer to the westerly star. This was odd b/c it seemed like it had traveled over half the distance in a matter of minutes. Then as I passed the Gin and into the open terrain, the bright reddish star was now next to the original bright star.

As I wondered what had happened, I looked at the reddish star, and this time I noticed two blinking lights on its side.

I was looking at an airplane.

I'm such a dork.

Oh, waiting for Kill Bill Vol. 2
