Who else is looking forward to the next time England gets thrashed in the cricket? ('WE WON! Yes, after almost twenty years of losing, you finally won the Ashes. Have a cookie. And come back when you've done it three times in a row)

Now, since getting a phone call this afternoon telling me that I was unemployed as of last Tuesday, I've had some time to get acquainted with the new Guardian format. It's not too bad, actually; I still mourn the loss of Helvetica, and I guess it won't be as much fun to read in the JCR anymore, but I like the American/European feel of the new front page with stories running off in all directions. There are a few odd font issues (for example, the Hamas story on page 17 looks like it's headlined in a lower weight than any other story in the paper), but oooh! look at the double spread photo in the middle of the paper!

And! A teeny-tiny G2! What more could you ask for (a job, I guess)?
