After a week of technical difficulties, crying and heavy drinking, it appears the blog’s back and, well, if not better than ever, exactly the same as it was. Which is a start.
In any case, welcome back, and feel free to comment on this week’s issue–or, heck, last week’s issue–here. And enjoy this week’s YouTube Ask a Mexican!

Heavy drinking of tears just makes matters worse,
Excellent point, Red Star. Kinda salty.
Why is everyone up and about so early in the morning? Something happen with Princess Di?
Um, noted. We’ll have someone look into that!
I am informed that we think, just maybe, the time situation has been fixed, perhaps.
Well. This calls for a nap!
James DiGiovanna is all wrong about Helen Hunt. She IS pretty, even with a 45-year-old frowny-face. So there.
Helen Hunt may be pretty, but she’s not nearly so pretty as she thinks she is. Like, how many people do you know who think they’re so pretty that they make a whole movie about how pretty they are? The only two I can think of are Barbra Streisand (Mirror Has Two Faces) and Helen Hunt. And in neither case are the results pretty. Also, I forgot how to log into the website so that my name appears in red like all the big kids. But whatever, I swear this is James DiGiovanna.
Helen Hunt is not pretty. She looks like a meth addict.
