This Red Velvet ((Now I want cake.)) Fairy Medieval Renaissance Wedding Gown with Overskirts and Cape- Custom is being sold on Etsy for $1,450. I know that’s not unusually expensive for a wedding dress, ((Don’t get me started.)) but in my book, for that price, it had better come with the bioluminescent butterflies and tame deer.

And no, I am not searching for a wedding dress. Random find from a red treasury. This listing by the same seller caught my eye at small size.

From the same seller… I will have nightmares about this one:

Augustine included curiositas in his catalog of vices, identifying it as one of the three forms of lust (concupiscentia) that are the beginning of all sin (lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes, and ambition of the world). The overly curious mind exhibits a “lust to find out and know,” not for any practical purpose but merely for the sake of knowing. Thanks to the “disease of curiosity” people go to watch freaks in circuses and charlatans in the piazzas. Augustine saw no essential difference between such perverse entertainments and the “empty longing and curiosity [that is] dignified by the names of learning and science.”

battle.

Posted on July 27, 2010 | 1 Comment

Tonight I did battle with a spider in my kitchen.

At first I thought it was a mouse running directly toward my feet. Then it charged at me two more times. The last time, I had a fly swatter.

I won.

I’m glad I won, or I would have slept like this tonight:

My arachnophobia has really eased up after a year of doing meditation and trauma work. At this point I wouldn’t claim a full-on phobia, as I let many spiders live in the house without disturbing them. And they don’t bother me.

A spider that can be mistaken for a mouse, however… THAT is a problem.
