What I’m up to Now

Last updated: January 10, 2025

🇮🇹 I went to Rome

In December I went to Rome and met up with my parents. It was my first time visiting The Motherland and I loved it. I enjoyed the daily routine of espresso for breakfast, pasta for lunch, a Manhattan aperitivo, pasta for dinner, and then wine before bed. Can’t wait to get back.

👨🏻‍🌾 I’m an urban gardener

In November I planted a seed starter tray with 36 carrots, lettuce, and thyme (8 each). I enjoyed watching them grow so much that a I upgraded. Wiff bought me/us a bookshelf for Christmas. I added grow lights. Then I added bigger grow lights. I’m now growing 6 kinds of lettuce, mizuna, and cress, as well as basil, lemon balm, and cilantro. It’s enough for Wiff and I to have a few salads a week.

👻 I ghosted Instagram

I archived my posts and reels, and put up an Out of Office on my Instagram account. Not once have I thought “I should post something.” It’s freeing.

🎥 I did some commercials

I booked an internet project for Naadam and national commercials for Goldbelly and H&R Block, where I got to work with the super talented and very funny, Bobby Webster. H&R Block booked me for another project that took me to Pittsburgh where I got to work with the hilarious and talented Andy Kelemen. It turned out SO great. I will release that as soon as I’m allowed to.

🦁🔦I built a nightlight for my Pomeranian

Bailey’s mostly blind, which makes finding her water bowl a bit tricky in the middle of the night. The bowl is beside our bed, so when she clacks around looking for it, it wakes up Wiff, who then has to shine her iPhone flashlight at the bowl. As soon as she does, Bails go straight in and starts slurping. It’s all well and good, except it’d be better if Wfif didn’t have to wake up in the first place. Enter The Nightlight.
