I thought I would start this post with a photo of my desk. It’s a complete mess right now. I have been sitting here for a while, building some videos for Reagan’s hair blog. While doing so, I have realized a few things. First, Reagan has a serious aptitude for doing hair. She talks herself down to me all the time. She says stuff like “I don’t know. I’m just not really sure she liked it. And I feel bad because I talked her into the bangs.” After spending some hours watching her in action on video, it is pretty apparent to me that she is better at doing hair, than I will probably ever be at doing anything. I’m one of those people who can do a lot of stuff pretty well (besides shoot and edit video, apparently), but is not the best, or even REALLY good at doing anything (except for superfluous punctuation and parentheticals). Hehehe. Anyway, I’m really proud of how hard Reagan works, and I’m glad that one of us has the ability to really excel at something meaningful.
Now, let’s move onto the old–
I was browsing Facebook (I still haven’t summoned up the gumption to quit that site) and saw a pretty awesome photo of my brother. Here is a shot of Sam wearing a grill that he bought on eBay, while working at eBay. Ladies: he is single.
Hahahahahahaha. When I saw the shot above, it reminded me of a photo that was probably taken the same night as the mustache photo from the previous post.
Wifebeater: Shopko (possibly Fred Meyer)
Fedora: Vintage (Grunts and Postures [probably])
Why do all thrift stores have that same smell?
Front Teeth: Sharpie broad tip
Two left-handed boxing gloves: Tijuana street vendor
Duct Tape: Anderson Lumber
Nirvana Poster: Grey Whale
Ceiling Lamp made from Table Lamp: Custom Fabricator
Wallpaper: Transworld Snowboarding

Another term for being pretty good at a lot of things = Renaissance Man. (It sounds better when you say it like that.) I often feel that way.
Sam was always such a nice boy.
We like Brienholt nostalgia.

Love that your main desk feature was a beverage. Lime water or drained margarita? Either way – YUM.
I long ago co-opted the “jack of all trades, mistress of none” moniker. I even had biz cards printed with it. ๐
(PS: Reagan is, indeed, amazing at hair, even when headless herself. The 50s video tute was fun to watch!)
