no. DO.
She was IN some bond movie of the brosnan era, but as a who the hell
cares character. i wdnt have noticed her excpet that i saw pride and
predjudice and i wholeheartedly think it shd be re-named 'rosamund pike
is hot and keira knightly is not hottjudice'.
- ITS a nice film. i actually was prompted to see it apon the
suggestion of film/text quibbles. and they dont check out T'ALL. =the
sugguestorlass is a wronghead.
especially, i have decided, in that the chortling father has
to be the last shot rather than some closure of the main
relationship because romance starved goons get swept up in that aspect
and come away unfulfilled and become wrongheads. but its not a love
story t'all, WrongieMcghee! the story's purpose is only to be a
socio-cultural commentary. its a pissboring book, most austen is.
i havnt read it since i was like ten+impressionable. but now I
willingly ATTEMPT :O just because im a bit lame and like to
solve my own self imposed puzzles that have no purpose. but the
main thing here for you to appreciate the rosamund pike in
question and for you to know that [i feel rosamund] is a
ridiculous name and reeks of old woman and potpurri. The End. PS she is
my new second favourite.
im also reading harry potter six. its much better.
AND! a grown up book aswell- which i soon plan to abandon for it is dull as a headboard. sh.

HAVE to read this extract about m.i.a, who is my favourite.
M.I.A. a.k.a. Maya Arulpragasam
Maya
was born in Hounslow, London but spent little time there as, at only 6
months old, her parents moved the family back to their native Sri
Lanka. Motivated by her fathers wish to support the Tamil efforts to
win independence from the majority Sinhalese population, her father
became politically known as Arular and was a founder member of EROS
(the Eelam Revolutionary Organisation of Students), a militant Tamil
group.
In Sri Lanka, they lived at
first on her grandparent’s remote farm, a collection of huts without
electricity or running water. After a year, as her fathers involvement
in militant activities increased, Maya, her older sister Kali and their
mother moved to Jaffna in the far North of the country, where Maya's
younger brother Sugu was born. Contact with her father was strictly
limited as he was in hiding from the army, he occasionally visited in
secret, slipping through the window at night and being introduced to
the children as an uncle so that they didn't give him away to the army
when they regularly came to question the family.
Eventually,
as the civil war escalated, it became unsafe for them to stay in Sri
Lanka, so her father sent tickets for them to relocate to Madras in
India. Maya’s mother moved with the three children into an almost
derelict house, 3 miles from the nearest road or neighbour. They
scraped by for a while, with sporadic visits from Maya’s father, and
the girls attended the local school, excelling as students. After a
while, visits from friends and family grew less frequent and money grew
very tight. The children became ill, Maya’s sister caught Typhoid and
they struggled to eat enough. A visiting uncle took concern and moved
them back to Sri Lanka again, where they settled back in Jaffna.
By
now, the violence of the civil war was at its peak and the family
repeatedly tried to flee the country. The army regularly shot Tamils
seeking to move across border areas and bombed roads and escape
routes. After several failed attempts to leave, Maya’s mother
successfully made it out with the three children, on to India and then
finally back to London, where they were housed as refugees.
It
was in the late eighties and on a notoriously racist council estate in
Mitcham, Surrey, that Maya began to learn English. Aged just eleven
and in a new country, she was exposed to western radio for the first
time by the noise resonating from her neighbours. Her affinity with
hip-hop and rap began from there - the uncompromising attitudes of
Public Enemy and N.W.A. clicked with a frustrated, energetic war-child
trying to relate to grey and foreign surroundings.
Maya
was a talented and creative student, eventually winning a place at
London's Central Saint Martins Art School, where she studied fine art,
film and video. Here, for the first time, she began to piece together
some of the different strands of her life experience. In an early
incarnation of what was later to become M.I.A., she learnt how to play
off her different cultural personae against each other; layering rap
iconography with the warfare pictures from her youth, Asian Britain
with American new-wave film making style and St. Martin's fashion sense
with refugee outlooks.
A successful art
career beckoned and, for a while, seemed to be Maya's destined path.
Her first-ever public exhibition of paintings featured candy coloured
spray-paint and stencil pictures of the Tamil terrorist movement.
Graffitied tigers and palm trees mixed with orange, green and pink
camouflage, bombs, guns and freedom fighters on chip board off-cuts and
canvases. The show was nominated for the alternative Turner prize,
every painting sold and a monograph book of the collection was
published by Pocko (which was simply entitled 'M.I.A.', an acronym for
Missing In Acton).
A commission from
Elastica's Justine Frischmann to provide the artwork and cover image
for the band's second album led to Maya following the band on tour
around forty American states, video-documenting the event. The support
act on the tour was electro-clash supremo Peaches, who introduced Maya
to the Roland MC-505 sequencing machine and gave her the courage to
take on the one art-form she felt least confident in, music.
Back
home in London, Maya and Justine got hold of their own 505 and, working
with the simplest of set-ups (a second-hand 4-track, the 505 and a
radio mic), Maya worked-up a series of six songs onto a demo tape which
became her calling card to the industry. The tape found it's way into
the hands of Steve Mackey and Ross Orton who then re-worked “Galang”
into the monstrous meld of influences that would eventually propel
M.I.A. into the limelight.
An
addictive mashed-up recipe of dancehall, electro, grime and world
music, Showbiz Records only pressed up 500 copies of “Galang” but that
was enough for her to go on and win the instant support of DJs and the
media seemingly everywhere – “M.I.A. has the look, the lyrics, the
profile, the mongrel beats to be huge. If the majors have any sense,
they'll pile in.”Sunday Times Culture.
The
majors did indeed pile in with M.I.A. eventually opting to sign to XL
Recordings (home to Dizzee Rascal, Basement Jaxx and the White
Stripes), embracing them as they were the only label to offer her 100%
creative control. Meanwhile, the underground success of “Galang” had
continued to spread, even earning M.I.A. plaudits in the American Press
- “The “hey ya ya hey” singing at the end of “Galang” is this year’s
riot music.”The New Yorker.
For
her next single release (out early ’05 in the US), “Sunshowers,” Maya
again hooked up again with Ross Orton and Steve Mackey who had
furnished her so successfully with the insane electro-squelch and
mangled beats on “Galang.” Hitting the UK airwaves this past June,
they pushed boundaries even further with hyper-minimalist production
and a reworked chorus from Dr. Buzzards Original Savannah Band’s track
of the same name to create a hypnotic template for her to fire out her
young-girl bravado, this time about guerilla warfare and the
Tamil-Sinhalese civil war.
With this first single proper barely on the shelves and no gigs at all to her name, New York's Fader
magazine made her their cover star with the strap-line ‘THIS IS M.I.A.
- MUSIC'S NOW THING!’ She flew out to New York to perform her first
ever live set (for the launch of the issue) to a screaming crowd of
hyped fans and then stayed to see Matthew Williamson open and close his
fashion week runway show with “Sunshowers.”
The
accompanying video for “Galang”, featuring multiple M.I.A.’s amid a
backdrop of her graffiti artwork animated and brought to life, was
directed by Ruben Fleischer and art directed by M.I.A. herself. On the
surface it looked like a colourful pop video but watch it carefully and
you’ll see scenes of urban Britain and the ongoing Sri Lankan civil war
being depicted and delivered with a wry sense of humour. M.I.A. is
fast proving herself to be a far from ordinary pop star.
Her
debut album, Arular, is set for release in February 2005. Titled in
acknowledgment of her father's past, it follows the same philosophy
that unites all strands of the M.I.A. project - cut and paste. The mix
of production credits on the album all feature forays into new
territory for the collaborators, with ex-Pulp member Steve Mackey doing
dancehall and pop-maestro Richard X working with Sri Lankan nursery
rhymes; and from her hand-sprayed artwork on the record sleeves, lyrics
that mix Tamil, cockney and American slang to her tracksuits and
hoodies specially sewn from the brightest, boldest African print
fabrics, or Mowgli dance moves for ragga beats - M.I.A. creates culture
clashes that work; ‘a unique voice unafraid to mix big issues with cool
sounds’ (Harpers & Queen)
YE-EAH! really is.
