What's beside your shitter?

Post by Rorschach » Sun Nov 05, 2006 7:37 pm

Well? What do you read while you're dropping the kids off at the pool?

At the moment, within easy reach, I have Arkham Asylum and Watchmen.

Lots of back issues of Popular Science/Mechanics, Scientific American, and Shape. As far as books go I currently have Nikel and Dimed and Shadow of the Hegemon. Some newspapers as well. Downstairs we have a Calvin and Hobbes book, Zombie Survival Guide, and an America's Most Wanted book.

A toilet bowl brush and toilet paper. Nothing else.

toilet paper, wet wipes, garbage can, and the SIL's box of personal girly items. No books.

Does it really take that long? If it does, you have issues a doc needs to take care of! I'm in and out in a matter of minutes - by the time I got a book opened and found my place, I'd be done.

I like sitting for so long that the blood is cut off to my legs.

Perhaps that's my problem then. I have not the time, nor the inclination, to sit there that long. If I'm going to read for an extended period of time, I prefer it to be somewhere comfy - like the couch. I live with 5 other people, all of whom will need to get in there at some point. I also have 2 cats who think I can't possibly go without their presence, no matter how tightly I shut the door. I guess I have too many other things that need to be done to waste time sitting in the bathroom on the toilet...

A couple issues of Wired and a bunch of crappy import auto tuner mags (roommates). However, if I'm in it for the really long haul, I'll just bring my GBA with me... possibly the battery charger with it. :shifty:

A wall and a sink. I do not and cannot read on the loo. Plus, books and water do not mix. Neither do books and external (or internal) noises.
If I read, I set off in a random directiom and sit down under a tree or against a wall somewhere with my headphones in.

I do not read on the toilet, because on most, my feet barely reach the floor and I lose feeling in my toes very quickly.

I just like to get the job done. If I want to read, I'll do it someplace comfortable.

How tall are you to have your feet barely reaching the floor?

heh.. at my family cabin, we ordered custom made toilets to be a little bit higher then average, because we are all tall in my family :)

Same with the countertops in the bathrooms and kitchen

5'

It's annoyingly just short enough that I have to force my toes to touch the floor in most chairs.

Nothing as far as reading material goes, but there are a couple of Calvin & Hobbes treasuries within reach should the occasion arise.
