ONLINE TODAY
Your playful side is out in force now, and you should find it easier than usual to get a date (if you're looking) or impress people with your easygoing nature. Show off a little! For the moment, the universe will ask you to tone it down, just a notch. You need some sleep, you need some soft music and low lights -- and you need the affectionate attention of someone who'd like nothing better than to share it all with you. Bet you know exactly who to call, too. Your next quest is to stock up on provisions: candles, soft music and a couple of your favorite videos.

If you've been doing some personal improvement work lately -- you know, the kind where you take a look at yourself and figure out where you could stand, say, an attitude adjustment, or a new outlook, or maybe you'd benefit from, say, daily painting projects -- you're now well on your way toward successful completion of this stage of the project. Take stock of what you've done so far and give yourself a pat on the back.
What do you mean? Is today the International Love Affair day, hm? Ehheheh ... what is not interesting from the dead is the silence of the river when I see it. And what is entertaining from the dead are the coolness of its stones and fragments of wood on it stream. - CZ

► ENTERTAINMENT : Godzilla - Official Teaser Trailer [HD]. An epic rebirth to Toho's iconic Godzilla, this spectacular adventure, from Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures, pits the world's most famous monster against malevolent creatures who, bolstered by humanity's scientific arrogance, threaten our very existence.
Gareth Edwards directs "Godzilla," which stars Aaron Taylor-Johnson ("Kick-Ass"), Oscar® nominee Ken Watanabe ("The Last Samurai," "Inception"), Elizabeth Olsen ("Martha Marcy May Marlene"), Oscar® winner Juliette Binoche ("The English Patient," "Cosmopolis"), and Sally Hawkins ("Blue Jasmine"), with Oscar® nominee David Strathairn ("Good Night, and Good Luck.," "The Bourne Legacy") and Bryan Cranston ("Argo," TV's "Breaking Bad").
Published on Dec 10, 2013 by Godzilla
The epic action of "Edge of Tomorrow" unfolds in a near future in which an alien race has hit the Earth in an unrelenting assault, unbeatable by any military unit in the world. Lt. Col. Bill Cage (Cruise) is an officer who has never seen a day of combat when he is unceremoniously dropped into what amounts to a suicide mission. Killed within minutes, Cage now finds himself inexplicably thrown into a time loop—forcing him to live out the same brutal combat over and over, fighting and dying again...and again. But with each battle, Cage becomes able to engage the adversaries with increasing skill, alongside Special Forces warrior Rita Vrataski (Blunt). And, as Cage and Rita take the fight to the aliens, each repeated encounter gets them one step closer to defeating the enemy. Published on Dec 11, 2013 by Warner Bros. Pictures

► JACKET COPY - BOOKS : Imagining Borges' 'Library of Babel'
Duplication, in Borges, implies the infinity. An endless division, exactly similar to the Zeno paradox about the distance as well as the story of the race between Achilles against the tortoise, or parable mirror as often used by Borges himself . In any Borges, implying a "similarity that is not the same anymore".
Zeno's famous paradox shows that one can not move from point A to point B, because before reaching point B, that person should get used to the midpoint between A - B. But he also could not get to the mid point of A - B , because he had to get used to a quarter of A - B , and so on until to infinite division .
In this paradox, it is impossible for Achilles the champion sprinter chasing a turtle who also runs in front of him, because every time Achilles arrives to the last place of the turtles, at the same time a turtle also has moved forward, and so on .
Certainly among the majority of his prose, a story titled "Tlon, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius" is his biggest game in the perception game about world. In this story, Borges creates a staunchly imaginary world, a kind of shadow of the everyday world in which we live, and how the two worlds suddenly interpenetration. The creation of an imaginary world itself is not done through empirical proofs fragments, or in other words do not create space and time literally. What is told is the story of an encyclopedia, and encyclopedias that are creating the imaginary world, perhaps, as we understand the world through a kind of encyclopedia.
Or as in "Shakespeare's Memory". In Shakespeare's Memory, this world would be a world of Shakespeare if you have a memory of Shakespeare. Thus, as we know, memory is a human perception of the world,
and through also the type of memory the human world will be real.

ALAIN SORAL : MY CUTE MERMAID TODAY
Your mermaid? ...
I like him, his thoughts, his mindset, his books, but I do not like boxing and wrestling. Sorry.
Seeing his face sweating is a sensual thing, but imagining the impact of Parkinson's for his future is a worrying thing.
Some supporting reasons
Maybe because I prefer a fun sport than painful sports.
Maybe because I prefer to feel the physical comfort rather than feel sick every time completion of the exercise.
Maybe because I do not like to see the bodies beaten with no accountability on how much and how hard they hit some punches, just for a win.
Maybe because I want his masculinity without physical violence.
I have never seen him compete as a boxing fighter, but even if he will do it -- free though -- I do not want to see him. I'm not willing to see what I like best of him getting hurt: his bald head, a beloved thing for me.
[Dear Mr Balding, do both your hands not feel pain when punching? Really, I see a unique combination of yourselves. Boxer and Author. Are your hands always in harmony with your head?]
