Well, do ya, punk?

I finished studying for the night and went to watch a little TV with my host mom. Last night we watched a show called "Let's get Married." It's hilarious; a man or woman who want to get married go on the show, and the hosts bring in other people to choose from. They go through a series of interviews, bring gifts to impress, and are interviewed by friends and family. It's basically like MTV, but less high-tech and cooler because it's in Russian and everything sounds funnier in Russian.
A Clint Eastwood movie was starting as I sat down to watch the "televisor" tonight. My host mom had never heard of Clint Eastwood, so I quickly explained that most of his films were Westerns with cowboys, and that he's usually the hero who saves the town and gets the girl. Whenever an epic shooting scene occurred she would gasp a little and shake her head.
Those crazy hooligan cowboys.
