Self-quarantine

Eat, watch DVD, sleep, watch EPL.
Sleep, eat, watch DVD, watch EPL.

That has been my exciting routine for the last 2 days, as I try to shake off a nasty bout of flu and prevent the bug from spreading.

Had to miss the bbq and the birthday party on Sat, plus church, a football game, and dinner with LSE friends on Sun.

Tragic.

And it got worst on Sat night when this blogger's beloved Liverpool FC crashed 0-2 to Fulham at Craven Cottage. Yes, it's the Harrods-backed team playing Tesco value-style football (sorry couldn't resist the supermarket analogy).

Double whammy.

If watching your team lose live on tv is bad, watching your team lose via a delayed telecast is a total waste of time.

Liverpool were rubbish last night, with their usual Premiership impotence in front of goal and an error-filled defensive performance.

And it didn't help that the linesman couldn't get his eyes to coordinate with his hands for the 2 Fulham goals. Unlike the Liverpool defenders, who defended with their eyes and hands trying to get offsides, instead of with their legs.

Crap.

At least the DVD-watching was brighter in comparison.
Caught Monster-in-Law, Black Hawk Down, Spanglish.
Trying to squeeze in A Very Long Engagement before EPL's Super Sunday, along with dinner...

Here's to a better week.
