Sunday, February 6th, 2005

Here are my Super Bowl XXIX Predictions:

  1. FOX‘s graphics will be amazing.
  2. Courtesy of the FCC, the half-time show will suck.
  3. Courtesy of the FCC, the commercials will suck.
  4. The New England Patriots will win.
  5. With luck, the Boston Police won’t murder any more Emerson students.

Boston Electrical Outlets

Upside-down electrical outlet

I have travelled all over the United States and used electrical outlets in many states. But then I moved to Boston. And everything is backwards here. For example, I own a bubbling Christmas night light. It has a standard polarized American Type A plug. The larger prong on an electrical outlet is on the left everywhere in American, save the three apartments I have rented in Boston. This means that I cannot use my night light because the oil would never touch the heating element if plugged-in upside-down. And I really like my night light. :-(
