MAMA SAID EAT YOUR VEGETABLES

I've switched from my hobby of coming up with kick-ass band names. Now I'm coming up with poignant titles for novels and novellas.

I've found this task to be a lot harder. Here are my first two:

• IN THE SHADOWS OF CLOUDS -- the poignant story of a defrocked priest who overcomes a deep depression and atheism through the redemptive power of a woman's love.
  
• AFTER THE FALL -- the poignant story of a once powerful but now disgraced and penniless business man who overcomes depression and ennui through the redemptive power of a Thai hooker and quaaludes.
  

That's all I got so far. Well, actually, I do have one more. It's a title for a self help book on alcoholism -- "Too Drunk to Drink". No good?

And then there's my old chestnut -- "The Fire Doesn't Care What It Burns" -- a multimedia collection of drawings, poems, short stories, "found" items, and shiny stickers that all all relate to the frailty of the human condition and the redemptive power of shiny stickers.
