Just a few days following my anxious post pondering the futility and utility of keeping a journal, I started catching up on some Tivo’d episodes of Torchwood (warning: gratuitous flash). Lo and behold, the first episode I watch is one where the agency is infiltrated by an Alien who can alter memories. The guy sneaks in and makes everyone remember he was always there.

Pretty clever. I’d like to try that at my next job interview.

The interloper is ultimately caught because one of the team checks his diary and can find no mention of the new guy. So, perhaps I should view a journal not as remedy for instant amnesia or an egotistical artifact for my progeny, but as a defense against alien infiltration.

Scary to think my daily musings about cubicle life and poor drivers could one day save humanity.
