"Are
you trying to save money on rent by being less choosy? Live somewhere
where the walls are made of plaster and every flush of your neighbor's
toilet has you planning a tsunami evacuation route? Do you live so near
I-5 that our King County news stations are in bidding wars to buy half
of your living room in order to film live shots of traffic back-ups
from your apartment windows? Tired of sunny optimists telling you to
pretend you're listening to the sounds of the ocean? Perhaps you just
don't have much of an imagination, but never fear! You can still create
that ocean ambiance for yourself and your guests by carefully selecting
your household accessories.
Take a look, for example, at this seashell. No, not just any seashell!
Look again! Presto change-o! You've been fooled. What first appeared
to be a descendant of the mysterious, giant hermit crab is actually
a well-crafted disguise for your ordinary toilet brush. Your bathroom
guests will think they've opened a portal to the Washington coast, not
the door to your bathroom! Will you be able to to get the aforementioned
"natural" sounds of your apartment to work in conjunction
with the opening of your bathroom door? You should be so lucky! Still.....those
tsunami evacuation routes might not be a bad idea.....
