Now
This page was born entirely from my enjoyment of reading other people's now pages, media digests, and movie logbooks. This is a collection of things I'm working on and doing right now in work and life.

Media Digest
Reading
- Continuing: The Light Eaters
Watching
- Continuing: Andor
- Running Point - my friend introduced me to this one and I’m enjoying it from the pure Parks and Rec/Office cameos alone.
- Movie: Backrooms - Very visually cool, very weird, made me feel sliiiighly old that they’re calling this a new genre of “analogue horror” - but loved it none the less
- Movie I Love Boosters - Very visually cool, very weird (I’m sensing a theme here) and a wild ride. I loved it.
Playing
- Finished: Caravan SandWitch - Loved this one so much
- Dave the Diver - this one has been on my to play list for a while, and I’m glad I finally picked it up.
Making
- Continuing: Mini Mock Neck Tank Top
- Copa Crop - I love Britt’s designs and when I saw she was designing a summer top for Flock Fiber Festival I knew I had to support.
What have I been working on
- Happy Pride month from our queer-owned brewery run club!
- I’ve been doing some freelance exploration, and generally trying to see what’s going on in the world of Web Dev again (to that end, attended CascadiaJS for the first time and had a great time!
- I signed up for Bluesky a while back and then promtly forgot about it. Recently I remembered it existed again and I might try using it! For real! Join me for the fun

Media Digest
Reading
- The Light Eaters - This book is WILD y’all. As an ameture science illustrationist (read: I like painting flowers) this book makes me want to go full botanist.
Watching
- Movie: Porco Rosso - A Hayao Miyazaki film that had been on my list for a while and finally got around to. Really enjoyed this one though it’s got some odd moments (don’t they all).
- Show: Andor - A show I reccomend to Star Wars fans and non-Star-Wars fans alike. Relevant show for relevant times.
- Finished Show: How to Get to Heaven From Bellfast - Really unexpectedly enjoyed this one. The tone was so weird and funny which is right up my alley. Not sure if it stuck the landing for me but loved it overall. Not sure if it’ll get a season 2 but I’m for it.
- Finished Show: Fallout Season 2 - I have not played this game but my husband has so I knew what I was in for. This show is ridiculous but I like it. Plus this season had more Kyle MacLachlan which I’m here for.
Playing
- Caravan SandWitch - A cute game with a big message that makes me believe I could drive a big truck.
- Dicey Dungeons - A silly little deck building rougelike. I have it on Apple Arcade so it’s been a little wind down game.
- Dispatch - I’m loving this one. Playing it with my husband who doesn’t like as many of the actual gameplay mechanics as I do. But still super compelling story line and I love the blend of comic/tv show/video game. I want more of this.
Making
- Mini Mock Neck Tank Top - I like knitting summer knits because you don’t have to deal with sleeves.
What have I been working on
- I’ve been illustrating more - a lifelong love of mine that I’m finally sort of taking seriously. I started a site for it here: studio.cassigs.com
