  • Taking Another Two Days Off

    ‘ My dad had surgery yesterday to implant a permanent morphine pump in his body which will hopefully stop his chronic pain and because I was out in the desert with him, I did not have time to write a new post.  So I will be taking today, as well as tomorrow, off.  But I…

  • Mia Wallace’s House from “Pulp Fiction”

    Mia Wallace’s House from “Pulp Fiction”

    ‘ A few weeks ago, fellow stalker Chas, from ItsFilmedThere, set his sights on tracking down every single location featured in the 1994 movie Pulp Fiction.  Well, as soon as I found out about this bold undertaking, I begged him to find the ultra-modern abode belonging to Mia Wallace (aka Uma Thurman) in the flick,…

  • The “30 Rock” Building

    The “30 Rock” Building

    ‘ One of the locales at the very top of this year’s New York vacation’s must-stalk list was the main building featured on my new favorite television show 30 Rock.  For some reason, until we rented the series earlier this past summer, neither my fiancé nor I had ever seen even a single episode of…

  • Kyoto Gardens from “Her”

    Kyoto Gardens from “Her”

    ‘ As a kid, I was pretty much never without a book in hand.  (Truth be told, not much has changed since.)  One of my favorite childhood tomes was Frances Hodgson Burnett’s 1911 masterpiece The Secret Garden.  Reading it made me want nothing more than to unearth a lush hidden idyll of my own.  That…

  • Old Tony’s on the Pier from "The O.C."

    Old Tony’s on the Pier from "The O.C."

    ‘ The Baader-Meinhof phenomenon has been in full effect lately when it comes to Old Tony’s on the Pier, a Redondo Beach restaurant I stalked way back in January 2012 with my good friend Mike (he provided many of the images in this post), but have yet to blog about.  First, Alison Martino, founder of…

  • Hotel Angeleno from “Heat”

    Hotel Angeleno from “Heat”

    ‘ The Grim Cheaper and I travel back and forth to L.A. so often that sometimes I feel like I live in a hotel – which is not a bad thing, I ADORE hotels.  One that we checked into recently that I absolutely loved was the Hotel Angeleno.  Not only is the place’s architecture unique,…

  • Happy 2010!

    Happy 2010!

    ‘ Just a quick note to wish all of my fellow stalkers a very Happy New Year’s 2010!  I will be taking today off to celebrate with family and watch the Rose Parade, but I’ll be back on Monday with a whole new post.  🙂  Here’s wishing everyone a very safe and very happy New Year’s!…

  • Cole’s Restaurant from “A Lot Like Love”

    Cole’s Restaurant from “A Lot Like Love”

    ‘ This past weekend I dragged my fiancé out to re-stalk Cole’s Restaurant, a location that I originally blogged about way back in May of 2008.  I first learned about the old time watering hole while watching the DVD commentary for fave movie A Lot Like Love, during which one of the film’s directors mentions…

  • Christmas Tree Lane

    Christmas Tree Lane

    ‘ Last December, I blogged about a house in Altadena known as the Balian Mansion, or, as I like to call it, the real Clark W. Griswold house (pictured above).  And even though the mansion has appeared only briefly onscreen – in the movie Obsessed and in an early episode of Beverly Hills, 90210 –…

  • The Nite Owl Coffee Shop from “L.A. Confidential”

    The Nite Owl Coffee Shop from “L.A. Confidential”

    ‘ I have to apologize in advance for today’s post as it is going to be a short one.  My best friend came to visit me this weekend and we spent all of Friday, Saturday, and Sunday doing wedding planning which, unfortunately, left me with no time for blogging.  🙁  I promise to write a…
