a /now page, because of course
What I'm doing right now
updated whenever life changes shape
A now page is a snapshot of what someone's focused on at this point in their life — not a résumé, not a highlight reel. This is mine. If we haven't talked in a while, this is the honest answer to 'what are you up to?'
last patched: mid-July, garden in full riot
Making
- A tiny static-site generator that's mostly an excuse to avoid writing.
- Repainting the shed a color the tin insists is 'sage.'
- This zine, issue three, glacially.
Reading
- A doorstop history of medieval scribes and their marginal doodles.
- Re-reading letters by people who wrote them by hand.
- Everyone's blog, slowly, in an RSS reader like it's 2007.
Listening
- Rain sounds and, embarrassingly, one very long ambient album on loop.
- A podcast about people who fix old things instead of buying new ones.
Around the house
- Learning to draw with my off-hand for ten minutes each morning.
- Losing a gentle war against the tomatoes, who are winning.
- Trying to answer letters within the same season they arrive.

Got the shed's second coat on before the rain. It is, against all odds, sage.
The idea of a now page comes from nownownow.com — a directory of people keeping one. Go make yours. It's a lovely little internet habit.
