There are some other things making me pretty angry at myself as well, such as my non-attendance of my glassworking class which I paid handsomely for. But there are extenuating circumstances surrounding that issue which I have no desire to go into here.<\/p>\n<p>Anyhow. In a vaguely self-punishing way, I started to drink this nasty bottle of Old English malt liquor that had been sitting in the fridge for a while. It was gross, I&#8217;m not going to lie to you. But it worked a strange sort of voodoo on me. <\/p>\n<p>I sat down and started to ink the rest of my comic resume. And I finished it! Then I sat and started to type my third submission to themusesbitch contest. I finished that, too! <\/p>\n<p>Then I got on the phone with Dave in New York, and talked for a long, long time. Then I started to research Alf on the internet. And all of a sudden, it&#8217;s 4:48am. <\/p>\n<p>How the hell did that happen? Damn malt liquor. No wonder people who drink this stuff regular-like always end up naked on rooftops in New Jersey holding their sister&#8217;s headless barbie doll.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wow.
