I'm still in Toronto, working on season 2 of RICK & STEVE. I thought I'd share a little of my life here. I live above this place. Well almost, I'm in the next building over. I haven't eaten at The Spotted Dick yet, but I haven't found the right person to eat there with.


Unisex Ho's Place. My favorite name for a barber shop ever.


The Toronto Public Library is a block from me. I heard a little boy and his mother arguing over whether it houses 2 million or 6 million books. I think the boy was right. I come here to write. I can feel the knowledge emanating from the stacks. I stragically move around every two hours to get inspiration from different sections.


When I need a break from working, the last thing I want to do is look at a screen or read. And doing physical stuff doesn't really count as "a break." So I wind up doing weird things. I got it in my head that I needed to put together a puzzle. I picked out 1,000 piece jigsaw of the Sistine Chapel.


The first two pieces.


Edges first, right?


I made myself do it without looking at the box. To develop whatever skill that helps you develop. You never know, I might need to use that skill some day.


There sure are a lot of penises on the Sistine Chapel. When I read the bible, I didn't really picture everyone with their penises hanging out. But they're very very small penises, so I guess it's still religious.


It really does clear my mind. I've been particularly stressed out lately.


Almost there.


Now what. I've got this lame looking puzzle sitting on my dining room table. My first instinct is to immediately break it up and start putting it together again. But that would be a useless waste of time! I tell myself. Then I think, more of a useless waste of time than doing it the first time was?


Oh, and here it is. A bag of milk. That's how they sell it in Canada. You have to open it with scissors or a knife or whatever. My life is exciting, huh? How's yours?

Canada seems interesting.
lol

you put that puzzle together in one day? I used to do puzzles together all the time. (some are hanging on the wall in my guest room - makes for interesting art...i guess)

Enjoy your time. I cant wait for the next season to start.

I dated a guy with a spotted Dick. Not at bad as you'd think. I'll go with you Allen. Hell! I'll even bring my ex. He'd feel right at home. The Unisex Ho's shop. Did not see barber shop coming. I wonder if they do sluts? I tried to do a puzzle and made it about 30 sec. I thought that was a bag of coke til I saw you wrote milk. That aint right! I'll be glad when your back in the states Allen. Thanks for checking in an letting us know you are doing.
Take care

What a way to get your mind off work. Building a puzzle, is crazy talk! You pretty much sat around your place rebuilding what Michelangelo did in like 4 years. I love the milk randomness BTW...those Canadians always have a way to surprise us...Let's hope they know about expiration dates. Taking someone to a restaurant called, Spotted Dicks would be a great place to dine before getting to know the person (If you know what i mean), or else you open yourself to some wicked puns.


Cool Blog!

Ha ha, "NOW WHAT?" So funny.


And no matter how hard I try, I cannot think of anything BUT The Fluid of Life when I see that milk bag.

That's bizarre. The Spotted Dick is the First Place I ever ate in Toronto for obvious reasons. hmmm Don't be afraid - Go For It!!!! It's mediocre pub food, but it must be conquered.

it sounds like a pretty interesting life, my life in toronto was spent waking up, going to work, coming home, writing, going to bed, and then repeating that everyday for 6 months. good times. i do miss those snow storms though. good times.
