My brain is in creative atrophy.  It happens sometimes when I'm doing day to day drudgery at work and I find my mind wandering off to weird and wonderful places.  Those are definitely moments I wish I could nudge you, although sometimes the weird and wonderful might be even too much for you.  Yesterday was one of those days, and I ended up nudging my friend Starbuck and my own mother via office instant messenger.

Let me tell you... you know you have great friends when they don't question WHY you're exploring the weird and wonderful but instead just pick up their own flashlight and poke around in the dark corners with you.

Today's noodling... one of the characters living in my head is writing the Great American Zombie Apocalypse musical.  (It's Libby, in case you were wondering which character).  As if that isn't random enough, I spent much of the day thinking up song titles.  And maybe mentally casting the show a bit.  I wanted to share some of those titles with you.

The Great Zombie Apocalypse Song List
  1. Things Come Together, People Fall Apart - opening number?
  2. Everyone's a Little Bit Delicious (my sister came up with this one based on a song from Avenue Q and this was the exact moment my mother stopped being able to talk about this)
  3. Falling Apart Over You - the zombie boy laments his nature... and his feelings for a girl he can't have
  4. Give Me Your Brains, Give Me Your Heart - the stirring love ballad between the human girl and her zombie love
  5. When I Said I'd Love You Forever -  the tragic parting of our lovers
  6. Song for the End of the World - rousing song and dance number at the end of the show, complete with dancing mob of zombies flinging fingers and ears into the audience as they dance.

You have any to offer?
