That's still the future, however short term. I repeat; there's no such thing as "now". Only the past and the future.
Yeah, I agree with you about there being no 'now', but for practical terms I think you can get by. It's almost like a saying in a way, because no one would say e.g. 'I feel like a pizza in 1x10^-99 seconds'. You just say 'I feel like a pizza right now'.
Wait... there's a thought! Would it ever be right to say 'I will feel like a pizza' when you mean 'now'? That feeling will have to come eventually. It can't linger in the future forever, meaning that eventually it has to happen in the 'now'.
