    Idle Time Books from “A Few Good Men”

    ‘ There’s pretty much nothing I love more than bookstores.  They run second only to Starbucks and film locations in my book (pun intended).  If I come across a good one, I can get lost amongst the stacks for hours.  So there was no way I was leaving Washington D.C. without checking out Idle Time…

    Freddy’s BBQ Joint from “House of Cards”

    ‘ I have never been a fan of dark TV shows or movies.  Surprising, I know, considering my love for true crime and all podcasts, documentaries and news stories related to the subject.  But when it comes to fictional TV and movie watching, I prefer a much lighter fare.  One exception to this rule is…

  • “I Choose Me”

    “I Choose Me”

    ‘ Yesterday, fellow stalker Mike, from , and I took a little stalking adventure to the studio where the original series was filmed. Mike has been there several times and he was dying to show me the studio in person. I must say that being there and seeing the studio with my own two eyes…

    Paty’s Restaurant from “Desperate Housewives”

    ‘ To continue on with this week’s restaurant theme, today I thought I would write a post about an eatery that the Grim Cheaper and I stalked back in January – the historic Paty’s Restaurant in Toluca Lake, which first opened for business just a little over a half century ago in 1960.  I had…

  • Happy  Memorial Day!

    Happy Memorial Day!

    ‘ A very happy Memorial Day to my fellow stalkers.  I hope we all take time today to remember the reason behind the holiday – to honor those who lost their lives protecting our freedoms.  I am taking the day off, but will be back tomorrow with a giveaway.   Until then, Happy Stalking! ‘

  • Merry Christmas!

    Merry Christmas!

    ‘ I would like to wish all of my fellow stalkers a very merry Christmas!  I hope you are all having a fabulous holiday surrounded by the ones that you hold dearest.  I will be spending the next six days visiting my Grandma in Reno, so I will be taking the week off from blogging. …

    Happy Trails Catering from “Big Little Lies”

    ‘ UPDATE – Sadly, Happy Trails Catering is no longer open.  The restaurant closed in 2018 and its beautiful garden currently sits vacant. As you probably noticed, I was unexpectedly MIA for most of last week.  My dad had an experimental five-day procedure done at a hospital in Orange County, so my family and I…

    Ryden’s House from “Post Grad”

    ‘ Another location that I dragged the Grim Cheaper out to stalk while in the San Fernando Valley area this past weekend was the ranch-style house where Ryden Malby (aka Alexis Bledel) and her extremely odd, but extremely loveable family – dad Walter (aka Michael Keaton), mom Carmella (aka Jane Lynch), brother Hunter (aka Bobby…

  • The Filming Locations of “Big Little Lies” Season 2 – “What Have They Done”

    The Filming Locations of “Big Little Lies” Season 2 – “What Have They Done”

    ‘ I’ve made no secret of my apathy for the second season of Big Little Lies.  But I was, of course, still entranced by its locations, which I’ve been obsessively IDing ever since episode 1 aired in early June.  So I figure it is only appropriate to follow up my complete guide to the locales…

    An Evening with “The Closer” at The Paley Center for Media

    ‘ While perusing my Picasa photo account yesterday, I realized that I have been seriously lagging on my Celebrity Sightings posts, as there are numerous events that I have yet to blog about, most notably one that I attended well over a month ago – The Paley Center for Media’s An Evening with The Closer…
