Norton Hospital has their vaccination clinic process down, y'all. The nearby site I went to is in a former retail space, plenty of parking outside and space inside so we're not tripping over each other. I got there a couple of minutes before my appointment time, and time from getting the forehead temperature scan to injection was about four minutes. Insurance and personal information, allergy and related questionnaire, alcohol swab, shot, bandage, done. Stay on site for about 20 minutes to watch for negative reactions, and that's it. I had some soreness at the point of injection for about 40 hours, but nothing more. Second shot is on April 27.
John Boorman's Excalibur has been in my mind a lot this last week. It's very much my default idea of the Arthur story, and while I couldn't have identified this way back in the early viewings, I'm pretty sure Helen Mirren's Morgana is a big reason I'm often sympathetic to the villianess in a tale. I have a Blu-Ray copy coming soon, and I pulled Osprey's Romance of the Perilous Land off the shelf for a reread. I just love the look of the film and its take on the story.
Still reading a little bit of Conan every day. It's just a damned fun read.
