My first viewing of The Untamed is finally gaining pace. Up to episode 25 done.

Why do bad things have to happen to my favourites? *pouts* I realise it is so they have to suffer nobly, worry about each other and then have a semblance of a happy ending at some point. Still, I could watch WWX and LZ going for long walks together or cuddling bunnies for entire episodes, I am just putting that out there.

Will definitely be watching more episodes before the end of the weekend. 😊

I am attempting to be more organised about keeping note of what books I read during the year. I normally start off with noble intentions of keeping a list but it quickly falls by the wayside.

I decided to try recording then on Dreamwidth to see if I can be any more successful.

No. 1 is an English translation of a Japanese novel:

Before the coffee gets cold by Toshikazu Kawaguchi

I liked it and will probably re-read it at some point.

Have now seen Episode IX of a certain movie franchise.

Better than some in the series and not as good as others.

I would probably watch this one again without a finger on the fast forward button so make of that what you will.

I feel bad that I am disorganised this year. I got some cards and postcards sent out but not as many as I should have done.

Thanks to those that have sent funky or festive cards and I promise to be more organised around this time next year.

I have been very lackadaisical about posting but, in my defence, I have had work, dog-sitting and a long weekend in London since I last posted.

I will endeavour to do better in December.

My music recommendation for the day is Raymond Froggat and the album Bleach. It was one played regularly when I was younger. I recently found it via Spotify and nostalgia abounds.

I find myself watching a 2008 DVD for KAT-TUN and their Queen of Pirates tour.

solo you might be a bad influence. 😁

The Untamed first watch and Guardian repeated re-watch paused this week for a lateral viewing experience.

Having finished watching King's Avatar, I decided to finally watch Love 020 all the way through as it also starred Yang Yang and had the added bonus of Bai Yu.

Didn't like it as much as King's Avatar but I liked the main two leads and Bai Yu is always interesting to watch.

Other drama viewing will resume this weekend.

Hope everyone else is enjoying watching/re-watching favourite shows.

I am not posting a lot of comments about the dramas I am currently watching but I am still making my way through them.

Guardian re-watch (via Amazon Prime) is now four episodes in. Once again, we have reached the point in which Shen Wei got his name. I still want to smoosh both Shen Wei and Zhao Yunlan together and say cuddle already.

I have now watched the first twelve episodes of The Untamed. It remains gorgeous and I do not approve of people doing mean things to my two favourite cuties.

I also seem to have watched all of King's Avatar. Oops? 😁

I am still not a gamer so I don't know why I enjoyed it quite so much as I did. Perhaps it is Yang Yang's half-smile. He seems to be good at that.

I commented today on a fic from Yuletide 2018 that I had previously bookmarked but never got around to commenting on. It is '(Don't) Let Sleepy Demons Lie' by lynndyre.

This fulfils square #4 to comment on a vid/fan work from 2018.

The second square I have completed is to re-watch an episode or re-read a chapter.

I re-watched episode #3 after dinner. I am still in no way sympathetic about the three students killed off in this episode.

I don't know if it is just the length of time since I last watched the earlier episodes but it jumped out this time that Shen Wei only healed the teacher after Zhao Yunlan was noticeably upset. It was also apparent that it was only after Zhao Yunlan displayed more overt similarities to his alter ego that Shen Wei decided he needed to start looking for a new residence.
