Welcome to Phoenix’s world-changing Salon
A portmanteau. A treasure trove. A time capsule. A poetry book. A diary. A photo album. Memories. Dreams. Wishes. Hopes. An open letter to an unsuspecting public. An intimate confession to close friends. A declaration of intent. A whisper of love. A personal record. An experiment in introspection. A performance space. A political rant. A wild yawp. Why do any of us publish our words and images online? Come, dream with me.Protected: Labour bag

That cultural festival of yours…
Today is that day when the supposedly secular country I live in stops shoving the majority festival down my throat with every purchase, interaction and encounter. If it *weren't* for the hugely disproportionate commercial response and expected participation, I'd be...

Car?
Last night we discovered ourselves with unexpected free time, so I proposed we go check out a second-hand car I'd been eyeing off online -- a little red 1995 Peugeot 306. Called the guy whose house it was at... sure, we could come over. It's his daughter's car but he...
