I guess this cough isn't going anywhere for a while. The fever/aches/wooziness are gone, and the coughing is better - but still not gone, and about the same level it has been for the past couple of days. Also can't seem to stop sneezing, but I don't know if that's due to the pneumonia.
I don't know whether it's the sick or the medicine, but damn, there is this weird metallic taste I just cannot get out of my mouth. I taste it in everything. GACK.
Also, a reaction to today's Merlin:
Wow. For all the interesting start and potential emotional payoff, pretty disappointing. Reset button FAIL. And the Arthur-"Igraine" scene? Should've been at least sniffly, but I was going more "....what?" because instead of there being any element of poignant OMG I'm Meeting My Dead Mommy/OMG I'm Meeting The Son I Never Knew, it was immediately ARTHUR, YOUR DAD WAS NOTHING BUT A BACKSTABBING PIECE OF SHIT WHO KILLED ME SO YOU SHOULD AVENGE ME.
And the laughing at the end, Merlin wanting to enjoy his being popular for a moment. You're GLAD that your king and best friend (who's supposed to end up being a more just king than his dad) are thanking you for solidifying their belief that OMG MAGIC EVIL MUST KILL ALL MAGICAL PEOPLE (which, remember, you're one of)? WTF, Merlin.
Oh, my cracky medieval show, sometimes you really do lose me.
