To show how easily my brain is infected with strange and silly memes, I managed to work the phrase "a super-space-age miracle of science" into a Journal Entry. Not only that, but it came naturally and it fits perfectly in context. And I wrote 1900 words of a new story. It's just an idea, but it's probably completable without much trauma. I figure five to six thousand words. It's mostly a "setting" tale, and it shows one of the responses, a particularly protective one, that a culture of insanely long-lived people might have towards children.
