CSI: Pasadena
‘ My dad is not a big fan of Hollywood. And by Hollywood I mean the industry, not the town. He can’”‘”‘t stand all of the overindulged, self-absorbed actors, even though his own daughter is one (minus the overindulged, self-absorbed part, of course). 🙂 He just barely tolerates my stalking and often asks me why…

Spring Cleaning!
‘ I hate to do this again, but . . . my parents came to town this past weekend to celebrate Easter with the Grim Cheaper and me and, in preparation for their visit, I spent all day Friday cleaning and tidying up our apartment. As the GC loves to tell anyone who will listen…

Griffith Observatory
‘ A couple of months ago I dragged my parents and my then-fiancé/now husband out to Los Feliz to do some stalking of the Griffith Observatory in Griffith Park – a place which I had never before visited despite having lived in Los Angeles for over a decade. I had actually wanted to stalk the…

The “Six Feet Under” Flower Shop – One of the Last Places James Dean Was Seen Alive
‘ I promise to get back to my wedding blogging in the near future, but for today I thought I’d do a post about a location that I stalked this past weekend – the Blossom d’Amour flower shop where Ruth Fisher (aka Frances Conroy) worked on the hit HBO television series Six Feet Under. While…

Eastern State Penitentiary
‘ Prior to traveling anywhere, I read copious amounts about the place I plan on visiting. Copious amounts, from sources including books, magazines, websites, guides, and blogs. My favorite travel guides are the Eyewitness Travel books published by DK. Before my recent trip back east, during which we visited Washington, D.C., Baltimore, and Philadelphia, I…

The Queen Mary Observation Bar from “He’s Just Not That Into You”
‘ I am beginning to discover that The Queen Mary is a lot like the Millennium Biltmore Los Angeles in that every square inch of it has appeared onscreen in multiple notable productions. Case in point – while scanning through Adaptation to make screen captures for my post on Zipper Concert Hall last week, I…

Tom’s Bistro from “Parks and Recreation”
‘ A couple of months ago, I asked fellow stalker Owen, of the When Write Is Wrong blog, to assist me in finding Tom’s Bistro from fave show Parks and Recreation. It took him less than a minute to track the place down (thanks to this April 25th tweet). As it turns out, a Hollywood…

Izzy’s Deli from “Curb Your Enthusiasm”
‘ Because our flight home from Switzerland landed smack dab in the middle of rush hour on a Friday evening, the Grim Cheaper and I decided to book a hotel and spend the night near the airport rather than make what probably would have been a four-plus hour drive to Palm Springs. It turned out…

Bad Day!
‘ This past Friday was an exceptionally bad day for me and my family. Not only did I have to take my dad to the emergency room, but while we were there we received a phone call that my uncle was being rushed into the OR for an emergency bypass surgery – it ended up…

A Weeklong Visit to L.A. with Friends!
‘ I am heading to L.A. today to spend the next week with my friends Kim and Katie who are visiting from Kentucky (that’s Kim above during a visit last November). We have a ton of fun stalking activities planned (you can follow along on Instagram) that will not leave any time for blogging, so…
