Musical Corona / Durez plastic typewriter

This interesting music/typewriter themed display was in one of the rotating display windows near a theater in Tacoma a little while ago. (not sure if they are associated) I'm going to guess that they didn't type all of this sheet music on the Corona.

This futuristic Durez plastic typewriter is just funny. Look at the keyboard! Sorry I couldn't find better resolution, but this was the only scan of it I could find. You can buy it, on eBay, if you wanted. It's overpriced though. XD

1812 (short film)

Here is a short film my sister and I made back in September 2011. I filmed and directed, she acted. It's supposedly about the soothing power of classical music, but alas, there is no sound because I never added it. We tried to throw in as many 60s props as possible. :D Like the L C Smith video, this is the first time this has been shown. Apologies for the video quality.

Weekend & A Disgruntled Psuedo-Architect

This is a more expensive house now.

This a more expensive house in 1918. Notice it has something lacking today--good taste.
(And all those special purpose rooms. People had different expectations then.)

An upper middle range house today.

And an upper middle range in 1920. Again, notice it is tasteful not glamorous and false.

I agree this is very special-interest, and also opinionated. (But it's my opinion and my special interest!)
But if you share at least a mild dislike of McMansions let me know something about it.

Recommendations for number of bathrooms in a middle-class home (no maid or nurse):
2 beds/1 bath -- 3 beds/1 or 1.5 baths -- 4 beds/1.5 or 2 baths -- 5 beds/2 baths

I know this title would work great with a funny story. I'll try for a humorous look at part 2!
