Last night, thanks to the generosity of Lara I completed an ambition of mine and ate astronaut ice cream! Having been brought up to expect that one day we'd all be flying around in jet packs and that meals would come as a small pill (thanks Tomorrow's World) it was nice to taste a piece of the future.

Yesterday I achieved two personal milestones.

1. I have provisionally finished the putting together of Bryan's manuscript. There's just a couple of spellings to check and that's it!!
   
2. At 1pm yesterday I couldn't knit. Since then I have learned to cast on, knit and cast off. I have my own fat (12mm) needles and six squares of colorful knitted wool for my first homemade scarf!
   

There was gonna be a whole lot more here but I have to go fiddle with Sophia's new webpage now...blame her. ;)

The record label I work for is putting out a 's band track called Moving to L.A. I'm quite excited!

We have also got a release by The Yards scheduled and they are just what we needed. Praise Jesus!

I am sad today. Belle has called it a day.

Surferosa are supporting The Killers in the States. I told you they'd be huge. Maybe they still WILL be! I am listening to Blur's London Lights and it reminded me of Surferosa...bizarre.

Last Friday I went for a casting to be a catwalk model for the designer Noki, (also known as JJ), it was my first casting and it went well. I think The Bear was a little freaked out when I stripped to my bra and panties to try on my creation and afterwards, when the stylist (Madame Olympia Dior herself) picked my self imposed wedgie out from my butt cheeks, but he did well. And so did I. On the 24th September I shall be tripping down the catwalk at the V&A Museum as part of Noki's show. (Tripping being the operative word.)

My breasts are full and rotund at this time of the month and my arched back and long legs must have impressed him sufficiently, along with my deer-like* stumble to the other side of the room when he asked me to walk for him, as I shall be wearing a mask. (Stop that sniggering in the back!)

It's important for me to keep my life exciting and the focus firmly on ME. Hence things like TV appearances, modelling, promoting, bear-keeping and festival going keep me engaged and floating high above the treadmill of the daily grind. Any suggestions for What Mira Did Next, should be forwarded to my comments box. It could be like a budget Duncan Dares. (Nothing involving sharks please, I belong to the "Blood Crazed Killing Machines That Eat Their Own In The Womb? Cull Them To Genocide" lobby when it comes to those scary motherfuckers.) So, suggestions to help me lead an abnormal life please.



*This reminds me of an occasion when I was wounded at the heart when Ex and I had just split up and I saw him at a birthday party with his new Swedish girlf. I was among one of the last of those to leave, a mourning veil clouded my brow and the grey cloud had not left my shoulder all evening. A lovely boy came up to me and said "Oh Mira - you look so fragile like a gazelle". He took me home and when I broke down and was sad he put on a pair of red shorts, his Baywatch shorts to cheer me up.

More questions than answers.....

Why do cuts and grazes itch when they are getting better?

So at least we all know where I stand politically.

My political compass results:
Economic Left/Right: -5.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.18

This result puts me at about the same place on the chart as The Dalai Lama. I feel very at one with this result.



Its built by Americans however so allowing for the differences in our political systems, I''m sure a UK compass would show me in a slightly different light. I've included the link to the compass, but I am not confident that the stupid people who read this blog will be able to answer all the questions. I had to look up Protectionism on Wikipedia.

(Many thanks to the The Report Card)

Today I spent a lot of time enjoying a very good chat with about Babylon 5. Imagine my excitement when I got home to watch Mastermind with young Tristan, and one of the contestants had Babylon 5: Series One and Two as her specialist subject. She did terribly. She got 4 correct out of around 13 questions. I was very disappointed.

Helluva late to tell you all this but I am on Headjam tonight on BBC2 at 7pm!

Mira vs Vernon K.

Yum

:)

I wasn't on it!
