    I love the way the story reveals itself in reverse. As someone who has struggled with bipolar disorder, the main character's confusion and paranoia during his fugue states resonates with me. I still have the original DVD with the "psych profile notes" inside the case.

    I even have a related tattoo on my wrist: "Memento Quis Sis," which is Latin for "remember who you are." It serves as a sort of inside joke.

    The Portable Atheist by Christopher Hitchens. It's a collection of poems and philosophical essays from the likes of Hobbes, Spinoza, etc.

    There are always trade-offs, but the usefulness of it outweighs them.

    I also find I do better work when dealing with constraints, but hadn't considered imposing them myself. What a great idea.
