This online journal business has a certain backwards quality to it, in that the standard narrative reads forward, you start at the beginning and end at the end.  But if you read these entries in the order in which they appear, they go back.

A little like a wonderful film called Memento.  It's a narrative - a mystery, and how - which is told going back in time, with each chapter followed by the preceding chapter.  The mystery is compounded by the fact that the protagonist has no medium or long term memory, and by the end of each chapter he has forgot the beginning predicate.  But it's not truly backward, it's really a series of loops, because each entry itself has to play forward in time.

Another way to say this is that as far as I know there is no way to duplicate verbally the visual presentation of a movie running backward.  Follow to hard too be would it...
