  • 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…

    Pacific Market – The Grocery Store from “Scream”

    ‘ To continue with October’”‘”‘s Halloween theme, this weekend I sent my Aunt Lea out once again to do a little Scream stalking. And this one was definitely a collaborative effort. Her mission, and she chose to accept it, was to stalk the grocery store used in my favorite horror movie. There had been some…

  • The Ritz-Carlton, Rancho Mirage

    The Ritz-Carlton, Rancho Mirage

    ‘ The Ritz-Carlton, Rancho Mirage recently re-opened after what amounted to countless delays and an almost eight-year closure.  A few years prior to its shuttering, when it was known as The Lodge at Rancho Mirage, the resort hosted the nuptials of Bachelorette Trista Rehn and Ryan Sutter, and I had been itching to stalk it…

  • The Frederick Mitchell Mooers House from “Mod Squad”

    The Frederick Mitchell Mooers House from “Mod Squad”

    ‘ As I’ve said before, stalking begets stalking.  Back in January, I wrote a post about a spectacular abandoned residence that had been featured in recent episodes of both Major Crimes and Parks and Recreation.  A longtime reader (a veeeery longtime reader, pretty sure he’s been with me since the beginning!) named John was intrigued…

  • Le Chene French Cuisine from “Sharp Objects”

    Le Chene French Cuisine from “Sharp Objects”

    ‘ I am a very black and white person.  Opinions typically come to me immediately and tend to swing towards either loving or hating something.  I don’t deal much in grey.  For some reason, though, I cannot decide if I like Sharp Objects.  I thoroughly enjoyed the Gillian Flynn novel on which the new HBO…

    The Romanesque Villa Apartments – Marilyn Monroe’s Former Home

    ‘ While doing research on the Harper House from Scream 3, which I blogged about in mid-April, I came across some information about an apartment complex – located on the very same street and designed by the very same architect – where my girl Miss Marilyn Monroe once lived.  I was, of course, beyond ecstatic…

    On Location With The Mentalist!

    ‘ Yesterday morning while doing some Downtown Los Angeles stalking, I happened to stumble upon a large film crew outside of Union Station.  I, of course, asked one of the background actors what was being filmed and almost fell over when she told me it was my new favorite show, The Mentalist!!!!   I asked if Simon Baker was on set and she laughed and said “Everyone’”‘”‘s been…

  • Hall of Justice

    Hall of Justice

    ‘ In the early hours of August 5th, 1962, screen star Marilyn Monroe was found dead in the bedroom of her Brentwood home.  Later that same day, her body was brought to the Hall of Justice in downtown Los Angeles for an autopsy.  I only learned that factoid a couple of years ago and immediately…

  • Ed and Tori’s Coffee Shop Meet-Up from “Big Little Lies”

    Ed and Tori’s Coffee Shop Meet-Up from “Big Little Lies”

    ‘ If the news reports currently lighting up the internet are to be believed, the drama that took place behind the scenes of Big Little Lies’ latest season is far headier than that which unfolded onscreen!  At the center of the dustup, per a recent IndieWire exposé, is Jean-Marc Vallée, the director of the series’…
