Who the %?$@
Phoren is a sensualist – an epicure of life, nature and simple pleasures. An expert at nothing, she’s a dabbler in much – yoga, photography, dance and the culinary arts.
Influences include: that secret spot on her neck, Franz Kafka, saturated colors, B&W photos, fresh rain, red nail polish, Earl Grey Tea, German Expressionism, Vonnegut, cats, cheese, clouds, Ganesha, Indonesian coffee, Thoreau, too much red wine and, of course, elephant seals.
She thinks blogs are cyber dumbbells for the ego and, ergo, this site – as there’s nothing she enjoys more than exercising her psyche.


“cyber dumbbells for the ego” – Well said! My phrase is ’self-medicating in the ether’… but it’s a hoot! Looking forward to reading your psyche-exercise log!
Ego? What? I write endlessly about me and you say I’m exercising my ego?
I really like your site, your writing, etc. And you mentioned the magic word in your influences: Cheese.
I added you to my blogroll.
I love how you recognize blogs inflate our egos like dumb bells do our arms…
