The first was the morning sky. I forgot to turn on the outside light before going out to de-ice my car this morning. Before my fear of what might be hiding in the darkness (being afraid of darkness itself is a little silly) had a chance to kick into gear, I saw the constellation of Orion beaming brightly at me. Within a few moments, my eyes adjusted and my vision was filled with heavenly light. Between the light pollution back in Michigan and the cloudy skies here, it has been a while since I have seen a night sky shine so enthusiastically. I wish I had not been in such a rush this morning, but I still took a few moments to appreciate the beauty of it.
The second was the new Starcraft II expansion which my brother pre-purchased for me so we could play its beta. The game is quite a bit quicker now, which I thought would be a problem, but I quickly came to appreciate. The new terran units are fantastic, but I wasn't as impressed with the other races. Still, I'm largely happy with the changes and I look forward to playing more.
And the third was the new trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Sure, I have my concerns about what Abrams and Disney might do to this franchise that was such an important part of my life, but watching the trailer only made me want to see more (which is good, since that's what trailers should do). Episodes I-III were hard for me, so I hope that these new movies restore my confidence in that galaxy far, far away.
... A galaxy I probably saw in the sky this morning.
