Last night, Brendan and I tried out the new Tiger Woods game that Mike bought for the X-Box. It's pretty amazing what they can allow you to do to customize the game. The primary example would be that Brendan and I both use golfers that resemble us quite a bit, which is no coincidence. The game walks you through an incredibly long process to design your character, in which you can be VERY specific about what they look like. My on-screen likeness is a lefty with a "Surfer" haircut, black polo shirt, and a little scar above his left eyebrow, whereas Brendan's character is a portly black woman with a pink tank top and an afro. Ok, just kidding, Brendan's guy looks like him, too. We played "Battle Golf" mode, where the winner of each hole can remove a club from his opponents bag before they play the next hole. It proved to be fun and I'm sure it will fill our spare hours once the Red Sox finish their season, which hopefully won't happen too soon.

Fernald and I realized that most of the comments posted on the blog are just between he and I (He writes a majority of the of the comments with aliases, I only post comments as myself). Anyway, I know there are more people aside from Brendan that read this thing, so I want to at least attempt to create some interaction/responsiveness from whoever reads Mesteeblogger. I will preface this idea by saying that I ran it by Brendan last night, and he thought it sounded pretty funny, so if it's not, you can blame him completely...

Phrase of the Day: This can be a word or phrase that I'll pick on a daily basis (hence the name), that you, blogger reader, will attempt to use during a conversation on that day with a co-worker, professor, roommate, or really anyone that does not read Mesteeblogger. You will then be able to share the details of your attempt to fit this word or phrase into casual conversation, such as the context you decided to use it in, or whether your boss now thinks you're crazy. If anyone beyond Brendan is willing to do this, I could even assign points to each phrase and give a yet-to-be-determined reward to the weekly winner. If this sounds dumb, don't say anything, and your silence will indicate to me that I should just go back to my standard blogging ways. For those of you who think this is the best idea ever, and can't wait to play, today's Phrase of the Day is Elementary, my dear Watson! If it seems like I'm trying to give you a dose of the daily humiliation I feel when posting my personal mishaps online, you're on the right track.

Here is a good article for Yankee Haters.

Well, the accusations of voter fraud continue. To add confidence to U.S. citizens who fear another corrupt election, the U.S. Government Accountability Office reports that the government is not prepared to handle voter fraud charges.
