A Linksys WET11 (http://froogle.google.com/froogle?q=wet11&btnG=Search+Froogle) or similar wireless to ethernet bridge would seem to make sense. About $70.
However, a Powerline (http://froogle.google.com/froogle?client=safari&rls=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&tab=wf&q=powerline+&btnG=Search+Froogle) system is an interesting alternative, especially for that two-floor-run. Never tried it though.
* Computer in living room is in corner. Would like to use as media-ish device (can swap cables if needed), but don't want to have it right next to the TV: Wireless transmission of audio+video possible? suggested? Non-LOS pretty much neccesary given its location.
Video over wireless is pretty horrid, especially if you do anything above broadcast (even 480p). Music over wireless is easy, especially w/airport express, but still might get choppy over ethernet if you use your wireless for large torrents and such.
S-Video can go up to 50 feet or so, and RCA cables for audio can go a long way too, so if you don't mind the cables you can just run them along the floor. Even cheap video cards now have s-video out. An s video/RCA audio-video switch (http://froogle.google.com/froogle?hl=en&lr=&safe=off&client=safari&rls=en&tab=wf&q=s+video+switch&btnG=Search+Froogle) is dirt cheap.
* Stereo in bedroom
Flat cables (https://www.ebizenterprise.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=42370) and an RF remote? (http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/airclick/index.php)
