  • Huron Substation from “NCIS: New Orleans”

    Huron Substation from “NCIS: New Orleans”

    ‘ I have been a fan of the television show NCIS ever since it premiered in 2003.  While I never got into its 2009 spin-off, NCIS: LA, the Grim Cheaper and I recently caught the backdoor pilots for the series’ most recent offshoot, NCIS: New Orleans, and absolutely loved them.  I was also thrilled while…

    The Phillips Mansion

    ‘ The Grim Cheaper always tells me that it is not about the destination, but the journey.  He’s right.  Getting lost can have its perks.  While driving around looking for Spadra Cemetery (which I blogged about on Friday) a couple of weeks ago, we happened upon a seemingly abandoned mansion set back from the road…

    The Painted Nail from “Nail Files”

    ‘ Back in November, when my good friends, fellow stalkers Lavonna, Melissa, Beth, Kim, and Sandy, came out to Los Angeles from Ohio for a little stalking vacay, Lavonna booked them all a pampering session at The Painted Nail in Sherman Oaks – the salon that is featured regularly on the TV Guide Network’s reality…

  • Juno’s House from “Juno”

    Juno’s House from “Juno”

    ‘ While I realize that most of my fellow stalkers are currently clamoring for me to put my Pacific Northwest blogging on hold in order to write about locales in the Southern California area, there are two more locations from the Academy Award-winning movie Juno that I wanted to blog about before doing so.  So,…

    My Los Angeles Must-Stalk List

    ‘ If I had a nickel for every time a fellow stalker wrote to me asking for my top ten favorite locations in all of Los Angeles, I would have a whole lot more Louis Vuitton in my closet than I do right now. Over the years, in response to that repeated question, I compiled…

  • The Elvis Honeymoon Hideaway Tour

    The Elvis Honeymoon Hideaway Tour

    ‘ My knowledge of Elvis Presley is basically limited to the fact that he was a singer (duh!), his 1957 drafting into the army served as the inspiration for the play and movie Bye Bye Birdie, he called a spectacular Tennessee mansion named Graceland home (the manse is the setting of one of my favorite…

  • Madeline’s Real Estate Office from “Big Little Lies”

    Madeline’s Real Estate Office from “Big Little Lies”

    ‘ I try to keep things positive on this blog, but, man, Sunday night’s Big Little Lies finale was an epic disappointment!  The entire season was hugely lackluster, truth be told, which is especially frustrating considering the outright perfection of Season 1.  I will contend that the first few episodes started out semi-promising, but the…

  • The “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” Wrap Party

    The “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” Wrap Party

    ‘ Two weekends ago, Pinky Lovejoy, of the Thinking Pink blog, invited me and the Grim Cheaper to do a little stalking of the wrap party for the hit ABC television series Extreme Makeover: Home Edition at a venue in Culver City.  The GC was not at all happy to receive Pinky’s invite, of course,…

  • James’ Beach Restaurant

    James’ Beach Restaurant

    ‘ This past weekend, I dragged my fiance out to stalk a restaurant named James’”‘”‘ Beach that was featured in the 2009 romantic comedy I Love You, Man.    In the movie, Sydney Fife (aka Jason Segal) and Peter Klaven (aka Paul Rudd) have their very first man-date at the Venice Beach area restaurant, which Sydney alleges serves up the…
