My First Website

Ultimate^2 Guide

To be honest, I'm surprised how well my first website turned out. I had a great number of difficulties (many of which took place early on in the formatting of my site and would have required more time to fix than I had to spend) but overall the site is functional.The image of Ultimate players was not supposed to be the same for each page (in its place would have been the page's respective image to the right of the text) but I wasn't able to define editable areas without mass confusion. The homepage is closest to what each page was supposed to be like.

Favorite: 5 Fall Break Experiences '09

I thought I would get in the spirit of fall break and mention what I liked most about my trip to Seattle.

5. General escape from Salt Lake
I needed a break from my hometown. I had never been to Seattle and found the wet weather, brilliant fall colors, ample flora, and general wonderful atmosphere to be everything I want in a future residential environment.

4. SciFi Museum and Hall of Fame
-The awesomeness of Han Solo, Godzilla, and Flash Gordon all rolled into one!
-Actually rocked out on the drums in my girlfriend and sister's band Clusterfeist. It was a bitchin' cover to The Beatles' bitchin' cover to the Top Notes' song "Twist and Shout."

3. Seattle Art Museum
I got to see Calder's mobiles, Michelangelo's sketches, and the latest Wyeth's soul on canvas. An enormous and gorgeous art museum.

2. Pike Place Market
After our visit the SAM we walked down the street to Pike Place. At the Pike Place Fish Market Liz was tossed the notorious fish with an iron grip. Then we walked a bit further down the market and I enjoyed a grande non-fat white chocolate mocha at the universe's first ever Starbucks.

1. Visit family
My biological sister, Rachel, lives very close to Seattle and I was fortunate enough to stay with her during my trip and meet her adoptive family for the first time ever! They were all very hospitable as we drank and ate the salmon that Liz caught at Pike Place.

Favorite: 5 Sexy Living Actresses

*My girlfriend asked me a short while ago what my top 5 actresses were who I found myself attracted to (not necessarily a physical attraction). These are actresses that are active in their acting and whose performances have recently stuck out in my mind.

5. Kate Winslet
One of the best actresses all time. Though she has had more sex scenes than I can count with my fingers, still comes off as classy.

4. Rachel McAdams
Fun, funny and gorgeous. She has a beautiful voice and a smile that makes my heart melt.

3. Cate Blanchett
So elegant and pristine. It helps that I love The Lord of the Rings films, The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.

2. Charlize Theron
Based on looks alone, hands down the sexiest actress out there. She's had some memorable rolls, but none of them compare to her comical acting in the final season of Arrested Development.

1. Keira Knightley
My idea of the total package. She's a beautiful, talented actress who plays parts that seem to have been made for her acting skills. My recommendation for you is to watch Pride and Prejudice and Atonement and not fall in love with her. If romance isn't your thing, get your ass kicked as she portrays Elizabeth Swan in Pirates of the Caribbean or (though not one of my favorite performance) as Domino in Domino.
