Dead man decals

Okay I know that I'm just perpetuating things by talking about it but I can't figure out which member of the cast and/or crew sold their soul for this damned Twilight thing to take off. It's insane! Speaking of insane I was looking at some interior decorating stuff and came across this:


Edward Cullen silhouette decals for your wall. In the tradition of the shower curtains, pillows, sheets, underwear and countless other things that have been released in tandem with the franchise this disturbs me greatly. Who wants to wake up in the middle of the night to a person in their room? Don't kids spend years GETTING OVER the idea that someone's going to sneak into their room at night.

*shudder*

Why?!

Statues in the dark...

As previous posts can attest I'm feeling a little bit older of late, but I'm not quite at the age where I've managed to purchase my own home. I do, however have a penchant for cruising the decorating sites and hoarding ideas for later when I do own my own home.

So I was reading through ApartmentTherapy.com today and I came across a regular post that they do which centres around tours of people's homes. This picture is from a woman's home in South Africa, which the article calls a "shrine."

I have to say-- ignoring the fact that I'm not particularly religious-- I would not want to stumble into this dining room in the dark. You could easily scare yourself silly with a life-sized figure of Christ nailed to your wall! What's more, I imagine that smashing a figure of Christ because you think it's an unusually nimble cat burglar in the dark likely brings about more bad luck than, say, breaking a mirror?

Just a thought. *shiver*
