    Attending a Taping of Extra . . .

    ‘ I spent all of yesterday morning at The Grove watching an episode of Extra being filmed that featured special guest Bachelorette Emily Maynard, whom I LOVE LOVE LOVE.  (She is so freaking cute, it is almost unbelievable!)  Then, when I finally did get home, the Grim Cheaper hooked me up with a new watermark…

  • Annie’s House from “Sleepless in Seattle”

    Annie’s House from “Sleepless in Seattle”

    ‘ We all have those movies – the ones that affected us so much upon first viewing, they left a lasting imprint on our hearts.  Sleepless in Seattle is one such movie for me.  As I mentioned in this 2010 post about the houseboat from the 1993 romcom, I still remember exactly where I was…

  • Sidney’s House from “Scream 3”

    Sidney’s House from “Scream 3”

    ‘ One location that I was absolutely desperate to find in time for this year’s Haunted Hollywood posts was the isolated house where Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) lived in Scream 3.  I knew from the flick’s Wikipedia page that the residence was located somewhere in the Topanga area, but other than that, I had very…

  • Police Doubt Fire . . .

    Police Doubt Fire . . .

    ‘ One of my favorite movie lines of all time is “It was a run-by fruiting!” from Mrs. Doubtfire – Robin William says the line to Pierce Brosnan after throwing a piece of fruit at his head at the local pool. LOL So, this weekend, the Mrs. Doubtfire house was on my must-see list of…

  • Skylark Hotel from “Palm Swings”

    Skylark Hotel from “Palm Swings”

    ‘ One of the best parts of starting this blog is the many connections I’ve been able to make with people who share this unique predilection of mine.  I recently had the pleasure of meeting up with mid-century-modern-house-stalker George Smart, of the USModernist website, who was in town for Palm Springs’ annual Modernism Week.  He…

  • Jim and Pam’s House from “The Office”

    Jim and Pam’s House from “The Office”

    ‘ One location that I stalked back in April while fellow stalker Lavonna and her daughter Melissa were in town was the house that Jim Halpert (aka John Krasinksi) purchased for his fiancé Pam Beesly (aka Jenna Fischer) in the Season 5 episode of The Office titled “Frame Toby”.  At the time I had never…

  • The Family House

    The Family House

    ‘ My good friend and fellow stalker Kerry is a huge fan of the 1976 television show and I just found out that while she has stalked the home used in the series several times, she doesn’”‘”‘t have any photographs of it. So I just had to go out and stalk the house for her…

  • My Day on the Set of “The Goldbergs”

    My Day on the Set of “The Goldbergs”

    ‘ I debated titling this post “How The Goldbergs altered my Thanksgiving.”  The Grim Cheaper and I were introduced to the ABC series, which is like an ‘80s-set The Wonder Years, last fall and quickly became hooked.  We plowed through all of the episodes in just a few weeks and found each to be poignant,…

  • My Guide to L.A. – Restaurants

    My Guide to L.A. – Restaurants

    ‘ I need to preface this post by stating that I am not in any way, shape or form a foodie.  I enjoy good, fresh fare, but my meal preferences consist mainly of old fashioned comfort foods (you’ll notice many mentions of different fried chicken entrées in the list below).  If a restaurant has bone…

  • Fig & Olive Restaurant from the 2012 “Matthew’s Day Off” Honda CR-V Super Bowl Commercial

    Fig & Olive Restaurant from the 2012 “Matthew’s Day Off” Honda CR-V Super Bowl Commercial

    ‘ Ever since I first saw the ingenious “Matthew’s Day Off” Honda CR-V commercial that premiered during the 2012 Super Bowl on February 6th, I have been absolutely itching to track down the restaurant that appeared in it.  Especially since, a few weeks beforehand, I had stalked and blogged about L’Orangerie, the eatery that stood…
