For evocative titles (and speaking of Harlan Ellison), I always found his titles "I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream" and "'Repent, Harlequin!' Said the Tick-Tock Man" great titles.
Oooh, good choices.

I took a class from a guy who'd published a book of poetry called "The Stillness of the World Before Bach."

Still morning.
Drown it in coffee until it dies.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm waiting for a conference call, but I'm also on vacation!! I still have some work to do, though.

The VMAs were terrible. I stayed up too late mocking them, ran into my boss on the bus, and then discovered just now that we're being moved to sub-basement 3 at the end of the week.
OMGWTFunderground?!

I'm happy for a Monday! The SO & I are leaving Right Now to go out to the land and meet our builder and the mason there. Whoot! Scary! Neither of us slept last night, but finally for a good reason.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Thanks, shrift. I remember the character now, but I wonder if I skipped a disc, because I don't remember how he got that way.

Management apparently doesn't know who I am and have my name wrong, so I'm even more entertained.
I have a papercut that won't stop bleeding and I'm about to get a nametag for the first time even though I've been working here for almost a year.

I don't remember if they showed how he got that way. In fact, I'm pretty sure they didn't between when he showed up in episodes 6 & 7 and then disappeared for over 25 episodes.
