So groovy Consuela for all the cool travels!
I'm beginning to wonder if my Nemesis is in cognitive decline.
Huh, that must be a disturbing insight into her. I'd not be surprised if you're right. You certainly know what you're looking at.
A ghost? What's the deal? Is every frat on this campus haunted? And if so, why do people keep coming to these parties, cause it's not the snacks.

Aw, Robert Guillaume!
Indeed. I always identified with Jessica and the Benson/Jessica interactions were so delightful. eta: Huge Soap fan. Have seen the episodes multiple times.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I am realizing now with Robert Guillaume-- I think I always wanted Benson to be my dad. I never had a dad, and for my young childhood didn't even really understand that it was "normal" to have a dad, but when you say "dad"- I picture Robert Guillaume on Benson with the governor's daughter. Even though he clearly wasn't her actual dad, but that it what it meant to me at the time.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Aw, Sophia. That's so sweet/sad.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
My strongest memory of Robert Guillaume is from the Christmas episode of Benson when he sang "O Holy Night," and breaking out in goosebumps at the sheer swoony richness of his voice. And of course that episode is up on YouTube, so I just listened again, and... exact same thing. Utterly, viscerally, heart-rattlingly thrilling.

I remember seeing him play the Phantom in Phantom of the Opera at the Ahmanson here in Los Angeles. He was amazing, his voice in that role is my benchmark for how the Phantom should sound.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I've heard so many people say that today. I need to look it up online.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
In high school, I saw him in an all-black production of "Guys and Dolls." Which was on its way to Broadway. He played Nathan Detroit and was incredible.im so glad my parents took us to cool stuff.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Weirdly, I always think of Robert Guillaume when I am filing my taxes because of an episode of Benson where he was audited and one of his deductions is the suit he is wearing to the audit. I don't know why that particular scene lodged in my head so securely, but it certainly did.
Today was very long. Tomorrow will also be long, but with fewer exciting new experiences. At least that's the plan.

I'm sure they let you pet the cheetahs, right?
This is what Archer has led me to believe. Or am I thinking of ocelots?
At the San Diego Zoo, I think you can have an up close encounter at the cheetah run with an ocelot. I don't know that you can pet it. Or maybe the animal they offered the day we were there was an ocelot.
