Katrina, have you ever watched a movie from the 1940s or 50's?

Yes, which one?

Oh, I don't know, any one with Doris Day or... (a list of 4 actresses..)

Yes. You know, I just saw Guys and Dolls at the 5th this weekend in fact.

Oh really? How was it?

It was wonderful! I loved it!

Well, Katrina. I don't want to lose you. And in fact, I don't think you should leave, because I think you need me for guidance. That is why I come out here every day and have these chats with you about direction. (Oh really? -- the smile spreading across my face). Yes, you're rudderless without me I'm afraid. But, I think you should audition for a 1940's style film. I mean, you've got the entire persona- the look, the charm, the character, I mean, you'd be great!

Oh man, I think I'd have to have been born a few decades ago, as they stopped making films from the 1940s, back in the 40s. ;)

Okay, Katrina. (Smiles and walks out.)

Just thought I'd share this morning's chat. You never know what exactly you're going to get each day. I've been running an editing company in New York, the head of a Governor's office, the personal assistant/ press person for Kate Middleton, a writer locked off in the woods alone, a travelling, writing gypsy, living in France, smoking cigarettes and devouring literature and croissants and coffee... and today, I am a 1940's movie star. Little does he know about my entire collection of Dorris Day on my ipod, my love for the 20's/30's/40's... or occassional confesssion that I was a 1940's jazz/bar singer in my past life. ;)

Life can be fun.
