Tours of the Bungalow, Ep. 6 — Holiday Tree

We got a sweet little package in the mail from Amy and Douglas containing a do-it-yourself Christmas tree. The following an incredible tour of us putting it together. Enjoy.

Literary Accomplishments and a Makeover

Hello Friends and Virtual Vagabonds!
While we've been in Italy, we have read a lot of books—fictional and otherwise. We have decided to share that list with you here today.

Books (and short stories) that we have both read:
The Age of Reason by Jean-Paul Sartre
The Fall by Albert Camus
Women by Charles Bukowski
Nine Stories by J.D. Salinger
The Last Question by Isaac Asimov
The Wall by Jean-Paul Sartre

Books that only Lou has read:
Dracula by Bram Stoker
Far from the Madding Crowd by Thomas Hardy
Tender is the Night by F. Scott Fitzgerald
A Confession and Other Religious Writings by Leo Tolstoy
Numerous Florence Guide Books

Books that Lou has started:
The Grand Inquisitor by Fyodor Dostoyevsky

Books that Josh has started, but soon sent him into an existential quandary and/or a state of pure intellectual inferiority:
An Answer to the Question: "What is Enlightenment?" by Immanuel Kant
Why I am So Wise by Frederick Nietzsche
The Myth of Sisyphus by Albert Camus

Books that the two of us infrequently read aloud to one another:
The Letters of F. Scott Fitzgerald by F. Scott Fitzgerald
Sifting Through the Madness for the Word, the Line, The Way by Charles Bukowski

Josh has also beaten Super Mario World Advanced on the GameBoy Micro—once with Mario and once with Luigi. They're Italian, right?

Also, we collaborated on the new header in order to give the blog a makeover.

How does that make you feel?
Let us know in the comments!
