The Stunted Eudemon

Another short post. Sometimes life throws you curve balls, other times it hits you in . . . nevermind. Just a few quick things: Looking for a witch at retail? The EU has 'em [http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_2407698.html], courtesy of freaky Romania. And they're good-looking
