Dusk Through Narrow Streets

I like watching stars. Don’t get to do it real often, because at home it’s pretty often cloudy in the winter when it’s dark enough to see any, and if it’s not that then the city lights are too bright. Last night I got a very clear view of the stars through Jen’s car window, oddly enough, and happened to see Orion. And that’s odd, because ordinarily I’m lucky if I can find Orion’s Belt and the Big Dipper, which is the extent of my constellation-locating skills. But last night, while I still can’t say I made out anything that really looked like a person, I could still see the stars that are supposed to be his legs and shoulders. Which is kind of cool, I guess. I don’t really know if constellations are different over here.

(An unrelated note to prove how weird I am: this entry has that specific title because I was sure Rhianna’s “Umbrella” had a line about the stars shining together in it, so I was actually going to put this on my Wordpress blog so I could upload the Mechanical Bride version of “Umbrella” that I actually like. And then I read the lyrics and realized there is nothing about stars in there at all. So much for that, then.)
