This is Dani Smith

 

I am Dani Smith, sometimes known around the web as Eglentyne. I am a writer in Texas. I like my beer and my chocolate bitter and my pens pointy.

This blog is one of my hobbies. I also knit, sew, run, parent, cook, eat, read, and procrastinate. I have too many hobbies and don’t sleep enough. Around here I talk about whatever is on my mind, mostly reading and writing, but if you hang out long enough, some knitting is bound to show up.

Thank you for respecting my intellectual property and for promoting the free-flow of information and ideas. If you’re not respecting intellectual property, then you’re stealing. Don’t be a stealer. Steelers are ok sometimes (not all of them), but don’t be a thief.

    Sonar Sighted, Teeth Missing

    The brown-eyed Sonar X7 has lost his two front teeth in as many days. Our gap-toothed wonder. Click to embiggen.

     

    Sonar X7, missing his two front teethThis guy sleeps with piles of pillows all around him and usually jokes that he is the Pillow Master. Last night, in a fit of tooth-loss, adrenaline-fueled silliness, he decided he was the Pillo-tar (think Avatar: The Last Airbender). Master of the four Pillow-ments (elements).  I told him that sounded like Pillow Mints, those little candies.  Much giggling ensued.

    Sonar X10 took it one step further, declaring himself the Sleep-atar, master of the four Bed-ements.  His Pillow-bending skills are excellent (unlike Ang, who bends Air, Water, Earth, and Fire), and he’s currently engaged in study of Sheet- and Pajama-bending.  One day he knows his most difficult challenge will be to face his arch-enemies and master Mattress-bending.  The giggling underwent a manifold increase.    

    Yeah, we’re all pretty deliciously geeky around here.
