Word of the Day: Birthday

Why?: This year has felt like a constant string of birthdays. Either it's that I know more people than I used to or it's that I'm more aware of everyone's birthday now that I'm older. In any case, today is my dad's birthday. Happy birthday, dad.

Word of the Day: Avatars

Why?: Anymore, this word has come to represent one's CG likeness on any number of various websites and games. I'm referring to the Creatures of Light and Darkness.
