The whole witches thing, is an entire other kettle of fish, as that word means very different things, depending on time-period and country.
It's difficult to explain witches in Galicia because we have at least 4 words I can think of that mean "witch", each one being a different kind of witch (a good witch, a malicious witch, a healer and an enchantress).
But to resume we have the myth of the benefic witch who is a mysterious and wise woman with helpful magic and the one who curses people at her will. Both aren't very differentiated anyway.They have always been very present in Galician folklore and had been as feared as revered.
As most people couldn't afford a real doctor or wasn't one avaliable witches were the ones who practiced medicine in towns (they were just women with some practical knowledge but they were said to have magic).
Good morning everybody, by the way. I didn't get enough sleep again.

A man pulled into a roadside diner for some breakfast. He ordered the Eggs Benedict. When the waitress brought it too him, he was shocked to find it served on a shiny hubcap! He asked the waitress "Do you always serve Eggs Benedict like this?" She replied "Of course. Everyone knows there's no plate like chrome for the Hollandaise."

But do you have a word for a sand witch?

Arthritis pain has been really, really bad these last few days.
And I look "normal", for a given value of what looks "normal" when you're 42 and addicted to work. (Yes, I always look tired and strung out.)
So I'm experimenting with a new cosplay-inspired outfit, which will either be tolerably fabulous or a trainwreck, and which will be totally inappropriate for the day's activities, because when I just feel bad, I go frumpy, but when I feel truly horrible, I dress up. Sometimes way too much.
So I'm going for "River-Song-ISH", because while I have the hair, it's the wrong color, and every time I've tried to dye it, (three so far), it's turned bright orange and temporarily lost its curl, which I have promised myself and signed in blood to never ever ever do again.
And since every time I write something personal that I actually think is kind of funny, I can pretty much hear the Crickets of Awkward chirping on the thread, well, let's just say that I apologize in advance.I wholeheartedly approve of anything you need to do to drown out the pain cosplay wise, save perhaps the fact that it is whedon related cosplay.
Have you considered non whedon related cosplay? I hear it leads to increased health, brighter, shinier hair, larger tax returns, better gas mileage for your vehicles, and happier FreeholdDMs.
River SONG, not River Tam. Very, VERY different character.
And not even vaguely Whedon related.
One of my favorite quotes:

I am ashamed that I have attached whedon to something non whedon related. I beg your forgiveness.

A guy walks into a bar, pulls out a pistol, and shouts "I've got a 1911 Colt .45 Automatic with seven rounds in the magazine and one in the chamber, and I want to know WHO'S BEEN SLEEPING WITH MY WIFE!!!"
A voice from the back of the bar calls out "You're gonna need more ammo."
Edited because I missed a word.

I might, we don't know. And what kind of marinade?
