Crazy Lady at the Gym, Part 2

Oh dude. I went in for my run on Sunday at about 11 am and the gym was pretty much empty except for a few old ladies. I went on the treadmill next to one of the adjummas because I knew it had all the good TV channels. I flipped through while doing a warm-up walk and I found Liverpool vs Bolton. I was super stoked since I hadn't looked at the score yet and I figured it would be a great distraction while I ran.

Well, yes and no.

Liverpool's season has been shit and while they ended up winning this match, it was not done in such a style as to impress a fan. To make matters worse, I am a very passionate supporter and I'm used to watching games in bars, where one can shout at the TV as much as they want because everyone else is, too. As some of you may have seen on my facebook profile, I was screaming obscenities at the screen while I was running and wearing my headphones. I got a LOT of looks from the little adjumma next to me but try as I might, I could not stop these outbursts. I am so not allowed to watch Liverpool on the treadmill anymore.

But it did distract me and I had a great run!

Adding this video. Oh my ass, so cute!

Thanks for your comment. Let me know if you post pictures. I'd love to see how they come out. I have been enjoying reading your adventures in Korea. By the way, I have always wondered why my head was so big. Now I know I am not alone ;-)

Do your students watch a weird show called Po Po Ah? I bought a video here thinking I could get my kids listening to the language - the guy said it was like Sesame Street in Korea. My girls love it but the whole farting thing baffles me.

Have you been banned from watching Liverpool by the gym, or is this a self-imposed (but completely necessary) restriction? Those adjummas are going to eventually turn against you. If I were you, I’d watch my back in the locker room.

By the way, I would love a panda for Christmas next year. They are adorable, and I think that Sophie would get along swimmingly with one.
