  • Thornton Gardens from “Funny Girl”

    Thornton Gardens from “Funny Girl”

    ‘ I have never been a big Barbra Streisand fan.  Sure, she’s an undeniably talented singer – and actress and director, for that matter – but I’m just not that into music.  And that whole Rosie-O’Donnell-having-to-rearrange-her-stage-to-showcase-Barbra’s-better-side thing really turned me off.  I won’t even get in to her absolutely cringe-worthy Inside the Actors Studio interview. …

  • Spring Cleaning!

    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…

  • The Haunted House from “The Goldbergs”

    The Haunted House from “The Goldbergs”

    ‘ There’s literally nothing better than being scared at Halloween!  In my mind, at least.  Terrifying movies?  Yes!  Spooky decorations?  Yes!  Haunted houses?  Yaaaas!  Especially haunted houses!  Too bad Adam F. Goldberg (Sean Giambrone) doesn’t share my sentiment.  In the Season 3 episode of The Goldbergs titled “Couples Costume,” the teen only begrudgingly visits a…

  • Sierra Madre Pioneer Cemetery from “Twin Peaks”

    Sierra Madre Pioneer Cemetery from “Twin Peaks”

    ‘ As I mentioned in my post last month about The Old Place restaurant, thanks to fellow stalker/David-Lynch-aficionado Brad, from the Brad D Studios website, I recently discovered that fave television series Twin Peaks was shot almost in its entirety in Southern California.  Because I have long been a Twin Peaks fanatic, I was beyond…

  • The Baldwin Home from “For All Mankind”

    The Baldwin Home from “For All Mankind”

    ‘ Apple TV+ is seriously setting the bar high when it comes to original content!  Every program I’ve come across on the streaming platform has been excellent.  I first got hooked on The Morning Show, then Truth Be Told and, most recently, For All Mankind, a 1960s/1970s-set series that focuses on an alternate reality in…

  • It’s A Wrap!

    It’s A Wrap!

    ‘ Got an email the other day from fellow stalker Heather who told me about a store in Burbank named It’”‘”‘s A Wrap that sells clothing, props, and memorabilia from recently wrapped movies and television shows!  Being that the store sounded right up my alley, I immediately ran out to stalk it!!  🙂  It’”‘”‘s A Wrap has been in…

  • Liberace’s House from “Behind the Candelabra”

    Liberace’s House from “Behind the Candelabra”

    ‘ Two Sunday nights ago, I (along with the rest of the world) was glued to my television set watching Behind the Candelabra, the HBO biopic about legendary pianist Liberace (Michael Douglas) and his teenaged lover, Scott Thorson (Matt Damon).  I have to say that I was a bit disappointed when all was said and…

  • Birthday Visit to L.A.

    Birthday Visit to L.A.

    ‘ I am heading to L.A. this week to meet up with my good friends Kim and Lavonna who are visiting from Ohio.  (That’s us, along with Pinky Lovejoy, of the Thinking Pink blog, at Ellen two years ago.)  We have about a million fun things planned (hello Disneyland!) and I am extra excited because…

  • Shaheen’s House from "Into the Night"

    Shaheen’s House from "Into the Night"

    ‘ Last week, fellow stalker Owen, from the When Write Is Wrong blog, emailed me with the following message, “I know you aren’”‘”‘t big on blogging about popular movie locations, especially those discussed elsewhere on the Internet (which is why I have SADLY never been able to read about Marty McFly’”‘”‘s house on your site!!!),…

  • Triada Palm Springs

    Triada Palm Springs

    ‘ For those who are unfamiliar with the area, Palm Springs is HOT in the summer.  Well, it’s hot year-round, but in the summer it’s hot hot – like 115 most days.  One nice consequence of that fact is that hotels drop their prices during the inclement months.  My family loves to partake of the…
