Are we Rome? by ni (2.00 / 0) #1 Wed Aug 08, 2007 at 02:46:02 AM EST

There was a less positive review here linked to from Arts and Letters Daily a few weeks ago.

Glad to hear you're still biking. It is the One True method of transportation.

i like how animated keanu is still a wooden actor by fleece (4.00 / 2) #2 Wed Aug 08, 2007 at 03:04:53 AM EST

zing! by R343L (4.00 / 1) #4 Wed Aug 08, 2007 at 03:15:22 AM EST

I'm afraid that I don't see Keanu as any worse than a few other stars who act the same role over and over again.

Dyson with parquet floor attachment. Damp mop on stubborn bits after if needed.

aren't those a touch pricey? by R343L (2.00 / 0) #6 Wed Aug 08, 2007 at 04:28:24 AM EST

Or at least I see Dyson and think $$$.

Once you go into having anti-allergy filters, they're no more expensive than any other here.

WIPO: damp mop by BadDoggie (2.00 / 0) #8 Wed Aug 08, 2007 at 05:20:59 AM EST

A wet mop on wooden floors is a Bad Idea^®. If the dirt is only light, consider getting a Swiffer and use a rag and elbow grease for the occasional really dirty bit.

When I saw mention of a book about the "Magic Kingdom", my first thought was, "She 'll probably be interested in Carl Hiaasen's Team Rodent : How Disney Devours the World, and not only that but another Amazon reference and a few dozen click-throughs won't hurt Hulver in the least." Honest. That's what I thought. But the Brooks book sounds interesting and I may have to pick it up.

woof.

: it wasn't *drenched* by R343L (2.00 / 0) #18 Wed Aug 08, 2007 at 11:17:40 AM EST

But that's just because I am lazy squeezing every last drop out. But that's why I went paranoid dirtying four (big) towels to dry the floors off. Bu believe me when I say it needed -- dog slobber bad.
Book about Disney? Hahahaha. You know, I've never even been to a Disney themed location.

Question to bike riders by Bob Abooey (2.00 / 0) #10 Wed Aug 08, 2007 at 06:06:20 AM EST

When you ride your bike to work - do you take a shower upon arrival, or are you forced to be, well, uh, less than fresh all day?

Got showers and changing rooms at work by jump the ladder (2.00 / 0) #11 Wed Aug 08, 2007 at 06:09:58 AM EST

Wouldn't do it otherwise as I get too sweaty on my 10 mile journey.

And not lending naturally to the sweatiness, and more importantly, the bay area not being a sauna, I generally arrive at work not terribly gross. I wear different clothes to bike though, so just changing helps a lot. If it's worse than usual, I just towel wash myself in the bathoom, although there are showers on the first floor.

change, no shower by LinDze (2.00 / 0) #28 Wed Aug 08, 2007 at 11:06:52 PM EST

Depends on how much effort and the weather. Generally if im just popping over a mile or 3 I wont bother with anything besides a change of shoes. When i was going ~9 miles each way Id just do a full change of clothes and 2 showers per day.

My ride to work is all downhill, so I don't break a sweat, and after my ride back from work I can have a shower at home.

Our lacquered parquet floors are vacuumed and occasionally washed with a wrung mop and left to dry on their own.

Our oiled plank floors are just vacuumed. Theoretically, they should be re-oiled once a year or so, but we haven't bothered so far (lived here for three years now).

I use a microfiber dry/damp mop system. It RULES, especially with all the dog hair.

WIPO by sasquatchan (2.00 / 0) #17 Wed Aug 08, 2007 at 10:41:21 AM EST

depends.

What's the floor coating ? If it's polyurethene (and still in good shape) a lightly damp mop only for sticky bits (ie kitchen area).

Otherwise, just vacuum it.

Non-polyurethene (wax finish, some type of oil etc), water, like sober bad doggie said, is a no-no. Vacuum or swiffer-type contraption only.

: it being a rental by R343L (2.00 / 0) #20 Wed Aug 08, 2007 at 11:20:49 AM EST

I have no idea what it's coating is. And the property management people didn't even know. So far the water seemingly hasn't done it too bad, but what is probably far worse for it is regular dog slobber. :)

some staple items by aphrael (2.00 / 0) #23 Wed Aug 08, 2007 at 06:26:09 PM EST

rice, toilet paper, etc, work better in bulk.

well some stuff I don't have to buy in real bulk by R343L (2.00 / 0) #25 Wed Aug 08, 2007 at 07:32:44 PM EST

Or the "bulk" I would get easily fits in grocery panniers. The awkward one here was laundry detergent and kitty litter. Do NOT work on a bike. :)

For long anyway, since he is taking the pets. But I'm sure I'll find something to use your car for. Although I should probably try out zipcar/flexcar/whatever sometime.

Magic Kingdom for Sale -- SOLD by vorheesleatherface (2.00 / 0) #30 Fri Aug 10, 2007 at 12:21:36 PM EST

The entire Landover series was pretty fun. I found that the last 6 books written in the Shannara series were outrageously better than the first few. I enjoyed them a lot. Enough to Start reading the word/void series just to have the backstory for his new trilogy linking word/void to Shannara.
