Rain gutter

Dad drove up this morning and we put up a rain gutter for the back of our house. We used white aluminum for it. It took us a while to do being novices at it but it was a fun project. We tested it with the garden hose and it seemed to work. That's been a project I've been wanting to get done for a long time.

Elena and I watched Friday Night Lights last night. Its a movie about high school Texas football and how it can be all consuming. Billy Bob Thorton stars as the 2nd year coach of a senior class that has state championship potential. I liked it but I'm glad we watched it a home. Elena hooked us up with Blockbuster online so they send us three movies and we mail them back and they send us more. We looked at Netflix a long time ago and that wasn't for us but this seems like a good deal so far.

We watched Garden State a bit ago too. I really like that movie. Zach Braff wrote, directed and starred with Natalie Portman in this one. It was his first time with all this responsibility and he did really well. It was however a fairly safe movie. It didn't really try to push any social agenda or anything. It was kinda bland, but I gave it thumbs up.
