It has been just about a month exactly since my last post, not a good record at all. My laziness and lack of discipline get the better of me sometimes. One look at my clutter-filled apartment, in which the kitchen sink and counter are fast being overtaken by recyclable juice cartons, cans and bottles, and the floor by newspapers, is confirmation enough. I should be doing my German homework now, but there are just too many distractions. Went to Toronto a couple of weeks ago, saw 'Boxhead' at Buddies in Bad Times. So-so, not great. Stayed with frenemy Doug, who is as spaced out as ever. And for a child psychologist, he doesn't seem too good with kids. We both gave out candy on halloween night, and he was somewhat robotic, saying the same thing every time a couple of costumed kids arrived: "Hello, trick or treaters, here's some candy", and not much else. I am not at all a kid person, but I at least asked them what they were supposed to be and engaged in a little banter.

Also, in my 4 days there, I went 5 times to a total of 3 different bathhouses, Steamworks 3 times, Club Toronto once, and Spa X-cess once as well. Steamworks had a druggy, methy vibe, but still somewhat mainstream, whereas Club Toronto seems to always have a high hustler contingent, which can be interesting. At one point I saw a 30-ish dwarf arrive with a 6-foot-ish junkie hustler. They disappeared into a room for a while, so who knows what went down in there, but I sure would have liked to watch. At Steamworks, it was a veritable big black dick fest, while Spa X-cess seemed to have a large Asian population, which interested me less. Steamworks seemed a bit more Afro-Canuck, far more to my taste. I know, it's a cliche, bus so friggin what. Anyway, with so many trips to saunas, by the time I left my skin was totally dried out, especially my face, what with the average minimum 5 showers I had been taking daily. On the train home, I could barely open my mouth to eat, as every time I did the skin would crack painfully. The occupational hazards of promiscuity.
