Two nights of disturbed sleep for no reason I know of. It's very disconcerting for me to wake up to darkness several times. Once yes, but three times? Anyway, last night got me two literary dreams: the first was a Dick Francis novel which sleeping brain thought was one of his real ones, just in technicolour. Details gone so I don't know if it was or not. Second was a Peter Grant involving, if I have this correctly, sex magic with fish milt, commentary on Peter's methodology provided by a young girl who should have been Abigail but may have been me.

Lots more Mo Xiang Tong Xiu arrives at the library, along with the newly purchased Jane Austen A/U which must read first ('20 people are waiting'). By the time I get through that and three volumes of MDZS, vol 1 of Heaven Official's Blessing may have arrived. Meanwhile I'm halfway through MDZS 1. I was wondering  when we'd get to the ostensible premise of The Untamed, 'Together they fight crime!' and I think we just got there. Pretty amusing still, with everyone balancing on swords and swooping about. I did wonder if I shouldn't just watch the series on netflix, but probably not. As with the anime, I have a sneaking suspicion that the live action version was for people who'd read the web novel; certainly the sense of What's going on here? as well as the general darkness was what put me off the anime. Yes, I know it starts at night; I still couldn't make out what was going on.

Though I hope Wei Wuxian will start being a tad less tiresome in time, because for now he's very tiresome indeed.
