    Taking a Sick Day!

    ‘ Because I am still suffering from a bad cold, I spent pretty much the entire day yesterday on the couch watching my Dawson’s Creek DVDs (I am so on Team Pacey, by the way!).  So, I unfortunately do not have a new post for today, but I promise to be back tomorrow with a…

  • Alex Theatre from “You”

    Alex Theatre from “You”

    ‘ The Grim Cheaper and I spent the days after Christmas in full vacation mode – sleeping in late, staying in our pajamas until all hours, and binging countless movies and TV shows, including the second season of Netflix’s You, which, I have to say, I enjoyed even more than the first.  Well, up until…

  • Mayo, Schmayo!

    Mayo, Schmayo!

    ‘ Because yesterday was quite possibly one of the worst days in my entire life, I was not able to write a post for today.  I had such high hopes for the Mayo Clinic finding a cure for my dad’”‘”‘s illness, but sadly it has become blindingly apparent that the facility is completely incompetent and inept.  In…

  • Bob’s Big Boy in Burbank from “Heat”

    Bob’s Big Boy in Burbank from “Heat”

    ‘ While doing some stalking in the Burbank area way back in November of last year, I dragged the Grim Cheaper out to the Bob’s Big Boy restaurant on Riverside Drive to grab a bite to eat.  And even though the eatery has quite a vast Hollywood history, is a filming location, serves fried food…

  • Lorenzo Lamas’ House from “Sex and the City”

    Lorenzo Lamas’ House from “Sex and the City”

    ‘ This past weekend was hands down the best. Oscar. weekend. ever.  I ended up stalking only one event (the torrential rain kept me indoors the rest of the time), but while there I got to meet one of my top-five celebrity crushes, Mr. Joshua Jackson from Dawson’s Creek.   Like I said, best. Oscar. weekend.…

  • Holden’s House from “The Good Girl”

    Holden’s House from “The Good Girl”

    ‘ Another Simi Valley location that Mike, from MovieShotsLA, suggested I stalk this past Saturday after my and the Grim Cheaper’s American Jewish University Brandeis-Barden Campus snafu (which you can read about here) was the supposed Texas-area home where Holden Worther (Jake Gyllenhaal) lived in my favorite movie of all-time, The Good Girl.  Ha, just…

  • FBI Headquarters from “The Mentalist”

    FBI Headquarters from “The Mentalist”

    ‘ Around this time last year, The Mentalist embarked on a huge change of course by having Patrick Jane (Simon Baker) and Teresa Lisbon (Robin Tunney) leave the Sacramento-based California Bureau of Investigation and then join the Austin, Texas branch of the FBI.  So, of course, that meant that I had a new location to…

  • Happy Trails Catering from “Big Little Lies”

    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…

  • Happy Memorial Day

    Happy Memorial Day

    ‘ I would like to wish all of my fellow stalkers a happy Memorial Day.  I hope that everyone has a safe holiday and takes a moment to remember those who gave their lives fighting for our country.  I will be back tomorrow with a special giveaway and on Wednesday with a new location, so…

  • The Inspiration for the “Annie” Orphanage

    The Inspiration for the “Annie” Orphanage

    ‘ My movie obsession began at a young age.  I can pretty much pinpoint it to 1982 when Annie premiered.  I was hooked on the musical from the start.  I watched it over and over and over, eventually wearing out the VHS copy that my parents bought me.  Its locations have also served as a…
