Pixar's 'WALL-E' doesn't disappoint

I'm a sucker for Pixar movies.
The animation amazes me and the characters - whether they're a car, a rat or a robot - are always so well developed that by the end of the movie, I'm always left wanting more.

"WALL-E" is no exception. I went in with high expectations and wasn't let down.

'Sex and the City' as I had hoped

"Sex and the City" opens in theaters today and a bunch of girls from work are going to see it tonight. I couldn't wait. In the past two weeks, I've bought - and read - "Sex and the City Kiss and Tell" and bought - and watched - season 2, which adds to my collection of seasons 1, 5 and 6. Waiting until tonight to see the movie just wasn't good enough.

Backstreet's back ... alright!

Love 'em or hate 'em, they're back again. The Backstreet Boys (sans original group member Kevin Richardson) recorded its sixth album which is scheduled to drop Oct. 30. The first single, "Inconsolable," from the still untitled album will hit radio waves sometime this month, but here's a sneak peek:

Fanning's star dimming?

There was a time not too long ago that 13-year-old Dakota Fanning was the go-to-girl for little girl roles in movies. She’s had at least nine notable movie roles since 2001 and appeared in a bunch of popular TV shows, “Friends” and “CSI” included.

But in the past two days, I’ve seen two roles that I’m sort of surprised Dakota didn’t get.

Reaching new heights

I'm a little afraid of heights. I say that because it's not something that I think about often, and this realization has only manifest itself twice in my life - first when my best friend forced me to be a tourist and go to the top of the Empire State Building (we got some great pictures, but my knees were shaking the whole time) and most recently last weekend when I was forty feet in the air, strapped into a harness and balancing my feet on small, rocklike pieces jutting out of the wall.

Instead of heading to the gym for our usual workouts, my boyfriend and I decided to check out Climbnasium in Mechanicsburg, an indoor rock climbing place. It's an old barn converted into an indoor playground, basically, with two climbing walls on the first level, a loft with bouldering areas and a basement with two taller climbing walls. The walls have regular vertical walls, overhangs that require much more skill and slab, these tilelike pieces that have a different sort of texture on each one that you can grab on to and make your way up the wall.

From Dawson to McDreamy

As a recent college graduate, I find that I'm having a hard time adjusting to the "real world." From what I hear, that's to be expected. I have a 9:30 to 5:30 job, I have to dress up every day, I get tired at what six months ago I would have thought was a ridiculously early hour. Most of the time, the only thing I have to look forward to during the week is the weekend.
