Hi Kato,
How's it going with you?
I read your article.

Fascinating information in the above article!
I actually think I know the mysterious and inspirational lady you're talking about.
She looks very much like the photo you displayed and she comes across as intelligent but disturbed at the same time.
Something must have happened to her that affected her more rational behaviour, or at least that's how it seems.
I certainly know about Kurosawa as he's been famous and very popular here in Canada now for some time.
The movie "Throne of Blood" looks a bit too gory for me, though.
More of a man's film, I'd say.
Interesting story, for sure.
Are you keeping busy ... too busy sometimes?
My boyfriend and I went to the Playhouse Theatre on Saturday night and saw a hilarious play "La Cage aux Folles."
I had seen the movie years ago and then there was remake apparently with Robin Williams.

The movie was better, but the play was still quite marvellous.
Preparing now for Christmas.
Maybe I'll get to Joe Fortes before that time. Hopefully.
Gotta run,
Love, Diane ~
Subj:Hi, Diane
What a big crook!

Hi Diane,
I'm glad to know that you've been happily preparing for the big event---X'mas!
Well..., I'm not a Christian, so X'mas is not such a big event in my life.
However, watching X'mas trees always makes me happy and puts me into a festival mood.
Your big crook reminded me of James Herriot's sheep story, in which a dying sheep is miraculously saved simply because she has been sent into a long sleep with a drug so that she couldn't feel pain at all.
Pain and fear would give anyone a bad effect.
That's what James Herriot said in the story.
Well, at least, your big crook gave me a bit of laugh, which made me happy. :)
By the way, the mysterious woman showed up in the afternoon with a DVD today.
She always puzzles me.
What is she doing?
She doesn't have to sit at the online computer at all if she wants to view DVDs.
An offline computer will do.
How come she always sits at the online computer at the same time?
Some day, I might as well ask ker.
Sylvie had appeared 20 minutes earlier than you did.
You just missed her.
As usual, she seemed happy and satisfied with herself. :) he, he, he, he, he,...
Well, I've just written a story about the "Titanic" movie and my own Titanic-like romance.

I hope you'll enjoy reading it.
Your truly romantic Taliesin,

:) with love
Subj:Hi, Kato...
Please come to see the play.

Hi, Kato.
Yes, it's a lovely crook isn't it?
I'll have to send you some photos of the cast when we're in full regalia.
I've got an awesome shepherd's outfit which I pretty well put together myself, and the rest of the group are really fun and committed to the play.
Of course, if I had got to be one of the three Kings it'd be an even better costume with more glitter and such, but what's a girl to do.
You've got to dress for the role you've got.
As it turns out, Mary, the mother of Jesus, is really sick and I've been substituting for her as well as playing my simple role as a shepherd, so it may turn out I get to do both roles on Christmas Eve.
Such fun I haven't had since grade school, really!
It's just filled me with such happiness.
We'll perform the play at 5 PM on Dec. 24th.
Kato, come to my church & see for yourself, just for fun, why don't you?
By the way, I'm so fascinated with this mysterious lady.
You really should approach her and get to know her, if only to explain to her she can watch her DVD's without booking time on the computer.
She'd probably bless you for this.
Let me know, okay?
Thanks for this information.
I've not got time right now but SOON I'll peruse it.
Love & Blessings,
Diane ~
Kato, how come you didn't come to my church to see the play?
It was down-pouring. Too wet to go out.
I don't think so. It was drizzling, but not definitely down-pouring. You should've come to see the play.
Anyway, I had a good laugh when you showed up at Joe Fortes Library with that giant crook. That was more than enough for me. :) He, he, he, he, he,...
Don't be silly, Kato...I didn't show up like that.
In any case, I could easily imagine how the play would go. So instead, I was looking for some funny X'mas video clips for a X'mas article.
You're not dependable. You don't show up or you come too late...always like that.
Talking of the play, Diane, you went to the Playhouse Theatre to see "La Cage aux Folles," didn't you?
Yes, I did. Did you, Kato?
No, I didn't...but I viewed the "Birdcage" DVD, which you mentioned in the mail.
Oh, did you? I think the movie is better, but the play is still quite marvellous.
