So what is sleng teng? Sleng Teng is the name given to one of the first fully computerized riddims, influential in Jamaican music. The riddim, which was created by the collaboration between King Jammy and Wayne Smith, was titled "Under Mi Sleng Teng" in 1984.

Orphan Black Season 2

Season 2 was totally awesome - what a twist at the end - males clones! I guess it had to happen! One of the best shows i have seen that is for sure. Season 3 next!

Oh , and i have squeezed into the top twenty blogs on LJ. Awesome!

In Ashford

Just one visit done today - in Ashford to do a covert shop followed by an audit for a German based supermarket chain.

Weather was mild and a little warmer, but not quite the dizzy halcyon days of yore.

Tonight i will heading straight into Season 3 of Orphan Black. Kudos for BBC America for this wonderful sci-fi series.

Silence

Some truth in it.

Poem of The Week

Planetarium


BY ADRIENNE RICH


Thinking of Caroline Herschel (1750—1848)
astronomer, sister of William; and others.


A woman in the shape of a monster
a monster in the shape of a woman
the skies are full of them

a woman ‘in the snow
among the Clocks and instruments
or measuring the ground with poles’

in her 98 years to discover
8 comets

she whom the moon ruled
like us
levitating into the night sky
riding the polished lenses

Galaxies of women, there
doing penance for impetuousness
ribs chilled
in those spaces of the mind

An eye,

‘virile, precise and absolutely certain’
from the mad webs of Uranusborg

encountering the NOVA

every impulse of light exploding

from the core
as life flies out of us

Tycho whispering at last
‘Let me not seem to have lived in vain’

What we see, we see
and seeing is changing

the light that shrivels a mountain
and leaves a man alive

Heartbeat of the pulsar
heart sweating through my body

The radio impulse
pouring in from Taurus

I am bombarded yet I stand

I have been standing all my life in the
direct path of a battery of signals
the most accurately transmitted most
untranslatable language in the universe
I am a galactic cloud so deep so invo-
luted that a light wave could take 15
years to travel through me And has
taken I am an instrument in the shape
of a woman trying to translate pulsations
into images for the relief of the body
and the reconstruction of the mind.

Just Wondering

These are more philosophical.

Do you occasionally tell white lies?

Would you lie if your life depended on it?

Do you think truth is fluid or absolute?
