I almost can’t believe that I’ve had this blog in some form or another for 5 years now. The sad thing is that I don’t have more content to show for it.  Outside of some science puns and NaNoWriMo 2004, it’s pretty bleak.  Well, might as well stick to what I know. This year I am fully intending, despite distractions like “work” or “school,” to participate in NaNoWriMo.  And oh yes, there will be science puns.

Instead of writing one novel, which can really wear a person out, I want to write a bunch of  short stories.  If a NaNo attempt is partly a terrible decision, here is the other part: I want your suggestions for titles of stories.  Not plots, just titles.  I already have a few titles in my head, like the following which I found while cleaning up some old documents (and can’t even remember writing).

JT Admiral Makes a Sandwich

“I’m hungry,” JT Admiral announced to his empty office. The office, unsurprisingly, did not respond. Satisfied that the room hadn’t gained sentience when he wasn’t looking, JT set out to make a sandwich. His quest was quickly curtailed by the fact that Omega 12, the curiously shiny space station he called home, was under attack by an unknown force.

“Egad!” he exclaimed.

“Admiral!” a nearby crewman of some sort shouted, “The station is under attack by an unknown force!”

Having recently used ‘egad’ to express surprise, the Admiral needed to choose a backup interjection.  “Gadzooks!” he exclaimed.

It’s sort of cheating since there’s a bit written already, but I just won’t apply it toward my word count.  So then, dear readers, toss a few titles my way and we’ll see what sticks.
