What I’m Doing Now
This now page was last updated on Sep 26, 2025.
Learning
I’m currently teaching myself how to play the piano. I’m studying how to read and write music, and practicing scales and chords daily to work on my muscle memory.
Reading
The other day, I picked up the latest installment in the Dungeon Crawler Carl series—This Inevitable Ruin, by Matt Dinniman. The whole series is so exquisitely hilarious; once I start I can’t seem to put it down.
I’ve also been reading a bit about Fernando Passoa, and started reading The Book of Disquiet this morning. I’m enjoying it so far, and generating lots of new highlights in Readwise.
Listening
I’m working through a backlog of new albums right now. I’ve been listening to Pantheon, by Dance Gavin Dance; The Blue Nowhere, from Between the Buried and Me; SEASONS // SUMMER, from Her Last Night; and From the Wool Hall, from Izzie Yardley for the past couple of weeks. Other albums on my list include purity ring, the latest album from Purity Ring; the motion picture soundtrack from Other Lives; Eternal Youth, from The Starting Line; and Everybody Scream, from Florence and the Machine. Like I said, quite a backlog!
