A statue of Horus, the Egyptian hat-wearing bird god!
Horus is the shit. When I took my Art History course, I realized the true god was Horus, the hat-wearing bird god. Look at him, he's wearing a bowling pin for a hat (represents Upper Egypt, I think). Does your god wear a hat? I didn't think so.
Egyptian art is fucking awesome.

Without it, in fear of the experiences what life can hold is among the greatest contradictions; to live in fear of death while not being alive.

Egyptian stuff is great and the history is intreguing.

I just moved and I'm renting a room from a family friend, with a very large walk-in closet. I'm looking to redecorate, so I'm picking up some stuff.
I just ordered this mandala clock, and I'm planning on getting an incense burner. I've tried looking for an Alice In Wonderland one, but I can't seem to find the one I saw online awhile ago.
The clock:
I keep my bed in the walk-in closet so I can use my "bedroom" as my living room. One of the cool things is that the wall in the walk-in closet is slanted, so I use a liquid light projector to project trippy images on the wall which I can watch while lying down to go to sleep.

That sounds really nice. You should take pictures and post them when it's all finished.
