Hello my lovelies,

Let me begin by apologizing for the lack of updates here over the past few months. Real life has kept me incredibly busy and still is at the moment, so I’m not sure exactly when I’ll be able to get back to updating properly. I just wanted you to know that I haven’t abandoned the site and it’s not in any danger of closing or anything like that. I’ve just barely had 2 minutes to breathe lately and updating sites hasn’t been very high on my list of priorities in a while. Yes, it stinks, but such is the way of life sometimes.

Now, on to some real Mia news. She will be appearing in Season 2 of The Cleaner. I haven’t found much information on her appearance yet, so I don’t know if it will be a single episode or a multi-episode arc. I’ll update with more news as it arises though. The new season will premiere on June 23rd @ 10pm ET/PT on A&E. Click here to visit the official site.

Click here to view the video. There was no embed option, or I would have posted it below as well. The interview is a little old (from September 2008), but since I didn’t have it on the site yet, I thought I’d go ahead and post it. Better late then never, I suppose.

Actrice très douée et également superbe (ce qui n’est pas pour déplaire), Mia Kirshner a connu à ce jour sa plus grande heure de gloire aux yeux du grand public dans le Dahlia Noir (elle était d’ailleurs bien la seule). C’est sans compter que Mia promène sa jolie frimousse et sa forte personnalité dans des séries TV, de 24 Heures Chrono où elle avait joué une méchante, à The L Word où elle tient l’un des rôles principaux. C’est autour de la sortie de la saison 4 de cette série, déjà disponible dans les bacs, que nous l’avons rencontrée cet été pour une interview sans langue de bois, où l’on constate qu’elle n’est pas forcément accro aux séries TV et loin d’être atteinte du carriérisme aigu dont bon nombre d’actrices à Hollywood sont victimes. Ce qui quelque part est rageant étant donné son talent.

The Jewish people have a long history of persecution and victimization. Our sufferings as a people have undeniably shaped who we are as individuals and as a people today. Throughout the world, people are still being silenced and exterminated, just as millions of us were in Europe 65 years ago. Just as we begged the world to help, so are our brethren the world over. There is no better time to fulfill our promise of “never again” and our biblical duties as God’s caretakers of the world. Although there were those who came to our aid, it is acknowledged that not enough was done to save the 6 million Jews that perished in the Holocaust, just as we did not do enough in Rwanda when that genocide erupted.

Everyone now knows about the atrocities committed in the Holocaust, because Jews have dedicated themselves to educating others about the horrors of the concentration camps and sharing stories of our suffering. Other stories of atrocities and disasters affecting millions of impoverished people the world over are less frequently told, but those individuals are no less deserving of justice.

This event was originally scheduled for tomorrow (April 22), but it’s been postponed until June 11, so now there’s time for you guys to make some plans if you’d like to attend. Thanks to Susan for the info.

Press Release from opusa.org:

Actress/author Mia Kirshner (THE L WORD, THE BLACK DAHLIA) and author James MacKinnon have joined forces with international relief agency Operation USA to bring creative writing field projects inspired by their acclaimed book, I Live Here to communities in need around the world. The program will launch in Malawi, Africa, with Kirshner and MacKinnon returning to work in the Kachere Juvenile Centre in Lilongwe, the boys prison documented in the 2008 book.

Malawi is one of the world’s poorest countries, with an HIV/AIDS rate of nearly twenty percent. I LIVE HERE is a creative writing, literacy and livelihood program that will work inside the Kachere Juvenile Centre – working to bring hope to children that have little reason to think their lives can improve.

“When visiting the youth prison in Lilongwe, I saw the extreme conditions that these kids live in. I saw that they are rapidly slipping through the cracks. What I saw is a cruel reality and gruesome future. One inmate wrote, “My goodness is my wisdom, is my strength is my future.” The impact of this leaves me no option but to do everything I can to help change the extremities that these children live under,” said Mia Kirshner.

Welcome to version 8 of Mia Online. This beautiful new look was designed by my friend Mycah and I’m totally in love with it. I hope you will all like the new look as well.

Just an FYI, I’m still playing around with the stylesheet a little, so you might need to refresh your browser if things look a little funny.

As usual, please let me know if you run into any broken links or funky page coding. I’ve tried to double check everything, but it’s easy to miss things.

I updated the gallery over the weekend with screencaps of the final episode of The L Word. Of the world of suck it contained, it did have a few bright spots:

1. Mia looked absolutely gorgeous. She wore some of the most adorable dresses and skirts and she looked fantastic in every scene, especially in this dress. I want one!

2. The video cameos of Tim, Angus, Ivan and Carmen. It was nice for them to say their little goodbyes to the girls, the fans and the show. I shall attempt to forget that they were all written to be great big a-holes at various points in time and focus on the awesomeness that they contributed during their time on the show.

3. Lucy Lawless!

And that’s pretty much it. I wish I could be more positive or say something else nice about it, but there’s just nothing.

Best of luck to the cast with all of their future endeavors!

Screencaps of episodes 6.06 and 6.07 are now available in the gallery. I added 6.04 and 6.05 a few weeks ago, but forgot to post about them. I’m sure most of you have seen them by now anyway.

I’ll have caps from episode 6.08 added very soon as well. Aside from having zero time to work on web things lately, it’s really hard to find the motivation to cap this season because it, well, sucks. There’s no nice way of putting it and I’m sure most of you probably feel the same way. I’m just glad it’s over now so all of the talented leading ladies of the show can move on to more quality projects.

I updated the gallery this weekend with photos of Mia at the final season wrap party on March 3rd. Thanks to Lori and Mariana for their contributions.

I’ll be updating with lots of new (older) event photos and some new scans as soon as I have a little free time, which will hopefully be within the next couple of weeks. I’ve just had so much going on lately that it’s hard to catch up.

My apologies for the recent lack of updates. I’ve had a ton of things going on in my personal life lately and I just haven’t had much time for online things. I’m sure you all understand how that goes. Now to play catch up even though you probably already know about it…

Enter for a chance to win a piece of Jenny Schecter’s wardrobe in the Jenny Schecter Memorial Sweepstakes.

Mia will be attending Starfury: L6 this year. The convention runs September 18-20. The gold tickets are sold out, but they still have full weekend and day passes available. Click here to for full information. Thanks to Jo for the heads up!

Miss Conception dvd screencaps and featurette screencaps are now available in the gallery.

I decided to give in and watch the final season and capped episodes 6.01 – 6.03 over the weekend. I will most likely not be doing weekly updates with caps because my online time is pretty limited right now, but I will continue to post caps from this season as time allows. That is unless they pull some crap like they did in S4 that just made my blood boil. I will refrain from ranting about that again though. Enjoy the new caps!
