Foot! a la TV5Monde Asie

When I'm angry with the world, I turn on TV5Monde and listen stupidly to the news, like a passive exercise in French. Right now they're covering the footie (Evian/Auxerre), and I've just never cared about football, and for some reason watching news about things that don't have any bearing in my life makes it easier to let off steam. It also helps that I don't exactly understand everything I'm hearing, maybe because there's some French sports jargon mixed in with everything. And with this cacophony as accompaniment, I try to study. Not the best study habit in the world so I don't encourage it, but I have to admit it works for me.
