something good can work

hey all! it's been pretty quiet of late. a few things happened since the last time I wrote a journal, so here goes.

My grandpa died a couple weeks ago, so I had a good string of days off filled with travel and family, as well as the funeral. My gramps had been sick for a very long time, but it was still tough. It was the first funeral that me and my sister had to go to for someone that was close. Death is weird and hard, and I don't have many other words for it.

On a happier note, my sister, my sister's friend and I got to see Two Door Cinema Club in concert. Waiting 45 minutes for them to come on after the opener was totally worth it, as they had an epic light show. Here's one of their songs in one of my favorite videos: [link]

Besides that, not much happening. I haven't been reading a whole lot lately - just some poetry and trying to get through American Gods. I started reading The Dresden Files but haven't gotten past the first book.

Oh, I played Firewatch last week - pretty good game, honestly. Made me kind of miss living in the middle of nowhere.

I haven't been writing a whole lot either; my creative energy kind of dropped after Gramps died, but I'm hoping to start working on things soon... prompts and the like. DnD is still something I've been doing regularly though, which is nice. Hopefully this week we'll start a new in-person game which is going to be my first game DMing (besides guest-DMing my regular game with my sister, her fiance and our other friend).

hope you're all doing well and enjoying fall! It's been 90 degrees the past few days here though so I feel a little confused
