And now... for something completely different, a personal post.

I have to travel from St James Park tube station to Old Street tube station every day. The trip is about 20 minutes or so.

I have tried to read books on the time but there is no way I can remember what was I was reading on the previous trip, so I gave up on that. Also got tired of playing java games on my mobile.

So, as there is always a newspaper on a seat or the floor, I end up checking out a bit the sensationalist news of the day. On the morning there are mainly 2 newspapers: Metro (which is nasty, focusing on dead people and gossip) and City A.M (which never find). On the afternoon there is another newspaper which I usually find more interesting: TheLondonPaper.

I usually don't care about the news in the world, don't watch TV at all, as doing this lets me easily focus on my stuff. However, there is something I like from newspapers and are the comic strips. The fact that there is someone on the background everyone trying to think about something funny is admirable. Unfortunately the ones at Metro aren't really outstanding, don't even remember any now.

BUT, there is one comic strip that amazes me everyday, and it's the Em one. I find it funny how the author makes fun of male/female behaviours (specially the female ones). So, as like everyone, what I want is to be happy, every afternoon, on my way home, the first thing I do is to check her new cartoon. Then read the news of the day, and at the end of the trip I read the cartoon again.

I even wrote her to ask if she had an archive online with all the cartoons, and... good news, she does :)

So yeah... Thanks Em! Keep it up! :D

By the way, the Omnipresent (the one on the top of hers in the newspaper is simple rubbish, I don't understand how he come it is still on top).
