The Lingering Cough and TV

kybearfuzzStill sick here, but better.
What sucks for the most part, besides the surprise bursts of coughs that happen every so often, is the fact that I don't feel like doing anything. Being idle isn't something I'm usually good at. I thought yesterday that since I was sick, I'd get some drawing done or finish up planning the pages for the next comic, but I spent the day binge-watching "Criminal Minds" and being zombie-like.
I did watch "The X-Files" last night, which is making me incredibly nostalgic. I remember seeing the premiere when I was a senior in college. It struck such a chord with me that I became an instant fan (along with almost the entire campus). I saw the previews for next week's episode which has a guy in a hat and suit that looks suspiciously like Carl Kolchak, the supernatural reporter from "The Night Stalker." Kolchak was a 1970's show about a reporter investigating supernatural and alien events, very similar to the X-Files. I remember reading somewhere that they wanted to do a Kolchak-X-Files crossover of sorts back during the original series, but Darren McGavin, the actor who portrayed Kolchak, didn't want to reprise the character for the show. He did a couple of episodes of the show, but as a different character. I'm very curious to see what this upcoming episode involves.
I also watched "Lucifer," which has an interesting premise and the lead is very attractive. The jury is still out in my minds on this show, but I'm willing to give it a go.
*cough* *cough* -- Ugh...
