"I'll get back up after this fall-down"

enemyofperfectLately I've been really enjoying the song "Hide Out" by Mahalia (lyrics here). There isn't really an area of her performance that doesn't shine, but maybe my favorite part is her body language and delivery. Revenge through living well is a common theme in breakup songs, but she seems so genuinely delighted by the person that she is that when she sings You don't know what you had, I'm amazing, it feels less like defiance and more like the simple truth.
I've been quiet lately, but I'm still here. My life hasn't been very eventful (and I'm grateful for that fact), but I have started DMing a new D&D campaign, which currently has four whole players! It's definitely more of a balancing act than DMing for just one -- and I went and upped the challenge rating by homebrewing the setting, too -- but I absolutely love the characters everyone came up with, and I'm doing my best to learn quickly enough to deserve my players' trust.
There are about a million things I meant to post about and didn't -- novels, fics, two whole anime series, the game Lenna's Inception from that itch.io bundle, an interactive novel about professional wrestling, the writing of Michael Harriot. I don't know if I'll catch up on any of that, but I hope I can do a better job of keeping up with my reading list going forward.
How have you all been?

You did that (^_^;) although, for the record, I know there's a "Master" in Dungeon Master, but I feel like making a good game is a whole group responsibility rather than just you. So there. :*
