avatar

in the NXE, one can customize an avatar to appear in various games and other xbox live arenas. steph was home when the NXE became available, i was not. thus, my gamertag is now represented by this alluring fellow on my shoulder:



the word "avatar" is hindu in origin and describes "the descent and presence on earth of a deity in corporeal form (animal or human)." i wonder what mythos could be embodied in an avatar such as that....

UPDATE: we made the avatar look-a-like contest gallery. well done, stephanie.
