So here's the thing

Okay, so I'm juggling various literary projects – a new play, a couple of half-eaten novels, a screenplay opportunistically set in London – as well as working at a full-time job and putting in a lot of overtime hours... and all I can think about is this damn election! It's swallowed my brain. It's all that's out there. But am I using it to procrastinate in all my projects? ("You know what I think, Alvy? I think you're using your conspiracy theories about the JFK assassination as an excuse not to have sex with me." -- Carol Kane in "Annie Hall") Is it true? Am I using my concern over this election as an excuse not to have sex with Carol Kane?
