…marcheaza implinirea a 11 luni de la inaugurarea Targului Gaudeamus, editia 2010. Marcheaza si data cand ar fi trebuit sa apara revista Galileo, editia de iarna, numarul 4, cel promis acum 593 de zile, platit acum 583 zile. Asadar ar fi trebuit sa apara acum 333 zile, dar nu.

Horia Nicola Ursu, administratorul Millennium Books si editorul Galileo, s-a declarat “cîtuşi de puţin nemulţumit cu 2010″, lansand 11 titluri in 2010 si 12 titluri in 2011.

Galileo, numarul 3, ar fi trebuit sa apara in septembrie 2010. Abia pe 18 aprilie 2011 era descris drept “proaspăt venit de la tipar”, s-a vandut la Bookfest 2011 si cu alte ocazii, dar abonatii, printre macar ma numar si eu, inca nu le primisera nici pe 8 iunie 2011, dupa promisiuni exhaustive de expediere. In acel moment am renuntat la a mai spera ca voi mai primi vreodata cele doua numere lipsa.

Cu banii luati de mai bine de un an si jumatate insa produsul final e vaporware, un simplu mit. Actiunea penala, din pacate, nu e la indemana, dar macar asta sa fie invatatura de minte: ce-i in mana nu-i minciuna.

Mi-a povestit acum tata cum, coborand din maxi-taxi-ul GMS, singurul care strabate ruta Navodari – Gara Constanta, a observat ca soferul lua de la cativa turisti francezi 200ron, in loc de 16ron, cat facea transportul pentru toti patru. Turistii nu intelegeau banii nostri, asa ca soferul a luat cat a vrut el dupa care a spus “ok” si-a gesticulat “thumbs up”.

Stii ca weekendul va fi distractiv cand te suna colegul de birou sambata inainte de ora 05:00 sa-ti spuna ca e retinut de organele de cercetare penala din alt judet si nu poate ajunge astazi, asa ca va trebui sa preiei tu atributiile lui si sa stai intreaga tura, nu doar jumatate, desi peste nici 24 de ore ai ultimul examen din aceasta sesiune (restantele sunt pe 19 intr-o alta sesiune).

Approximately 60 percent of women have faked an orgasm during intercourse or oral sex, according to Erin Cooper of Temple University, who has been studying these women to figure out why.

[..] “Women who have a hard time getting close to other people on an emotional level it seems now are also having a hard time getting close to other people on a sexual level,” Cooper said. “They are having a hard time across the board, and may be very much in need of intervention to help them out in another domain. This could either be the cause or the symptom; we don’t know enough about it yet.”

[..] Women who might seek to quickly end sexual intercourse might do so because they have difficulty allowing others to get close to them; they could feel disconnected from their partner or the sexual experience and might not be able to derive pleasure from sex, Cooper said.

…lovely.
