As many of you know, writers are notorious for one thing. No, not heavy drinking (well, actually, that too). But what I meant was not writing. Yes, it’s true. Writers will go to almost any length to avoid actually writing. I have mentioned this before.

And although some of you wrote the last time I mentioned this that if I hate writing so much, I should just quit, this is not a feasible solution to the problem. I really can't quit because, unlike Napoleon Dynamite, I have no other skills (such as computer hacking).

So I am stuck with (not) writing for a living. Because I still haven’t sold my old house and now I have two mortgages to pay. Besides, writers do like to write when the writing is going well. Unfortunately the writing hardly ever goes well. And so we must resort to bizarre procrastination techniques, such as watching every Law and Order episode featuring Chris Noth, in order to put off writing....

But now that I have seen almost every episode of JUDGING AMY, I have had to resort to new procrastination techniques. I have, obviously, read every issue of People and US Weekly to hit the stands in the last two years. I have been over and over the Jen/Brad/Angelina love triangle, and was horrified, as no doubt all of you were, by the latest information on Tom Cruise...that he is dating Katie Holmes, sixteen years his junior and apparently soon to be sucked into Scientology, if she hasn't been already. I was stunned by the revelation about Renee Zellweger’s sudden marriage to a singer who is not Jack White, and I am waiting, as is the rest of America, with breathless anticipation for the birth of Britney's, and Jennifer Garner's, babies.

But my latest procrastination technique of choice is reading Star Wars message boards. I will admit, I'm about the biggest Star Wars fan that there can be. No, I don't have a Princess Leia costume.
