    L.A. Vacay

    ‘ I am heading to L.A. today and staying through the weekend – my favorite weekend of the year.  Yep, it’s that time again – time for the Academy Awards.  I am SO excited and am not even going to let the torrential rain that is supposed to be falling the entire time we are…

  • The Walt Disney Family Museum in San Francisco

    The Walt Disney Family Museum in San Francisco

    ‘ Last Sunday morning, after checking out of the spectacular San Francisco loft where my bachelorette party was held, my friend Nat and I headed over to the historic former Presidio Army Base to stalk the recently-opened Walt Disney Family Museum.  Knowing what a Disney freak I am, Nat figured that the museum would be…

    Barnsdall Art Park from “Big Little Lies”

    ‘ The Grim Cheaper is easily the most creative gift-giver I know.  Not only does he find incredibly thoughtful presents, but he always comes up with highly unique ways of presenting them.  I have only ever managed to match his ingenuity on rare occasions – one being Valentine’s Day 2011 when I created a scavenger…

  • The Skyline Residence – Jacob’s House from “Crazy, Stupid, Love.”

    The Skyline Residence – Jacob’s House from “Crazy, Stupid, Love.”

    ‘ Back in August, I received an email from a fellow stalker named Brandon who wanted to let me know that he had tracked down the ultra-modern abode where Jacob Palmer (aka Ryan Gosling) lived in Crazy, Stupid, Love.  At the time I had yet to see the movie, but added the address to my…

  • Rachel’s House from “(500) Days of Summer”

    Rachel’s House from “(500) Days of Summer”

    ‘ Today’s post is, unfortunately, going to be a short one being that I am absolutely exhausted from what turned out to be a very exciting and very successful Emmy weekend.  (That’s me on the red carpet above!  )  While I had a blast, I truly feel like I could sleep for days and am…

  • Lila’s Apartment Building on Dexter

    Lila’s Apartment Building on Dexter

    ‘ A few months ago, my fiancé and I started watching the Showtime television series Dexter and I have to say that it didn’t take very long for the two of us to become completely and totally obsessed with it.  So, as I’m sure you can probably imagine, I’ve also become pretty obsessed lately with…

  • Bill Cozbi’s Auto Body Shop from “Bridesmaids”

    Bill Cozbi’s Auto Body Shop from “Bridesmaids”

    ‘ As I mentioned in my post about the apartment building where Lillian (Maya Rudolph) lived in Bridesmaids, Mike, from MovieShotsLA, and I finally managed to track down all of the L.A.-area locations from the 2011 flick last week.  Or so I thought.  While scanning through the movie on Monday afternoon, making screen captures for…

    Antonio’s Pizzeria – A Shannen Doherty Fave

    ‘ Way back in September 2011, while the Grim Cheaper and I were out and about doing some stalking in the San Fernando Valley area, we happened to drive past Antonio’s Pizzeria and the GC suggested that we pop in.  He had dined at Antonio’s several times in the past and remembered that the place…

  • Taking a Break . . .

    Taking a Break . . .

    ‘ Unfortunately, I have no blog to publish today.  🙁  I had to rush my dad to the emergency room bright and early yesterday morning and wound up spending the entire day and most of the night with him in the hospital.  Which normally wouldn’t have precluded me from writing a post, but for some…

  • 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,…
