Good story -- thanks for the link. The main character in the movie was like 
Mitch, only he could only hold about ten minutes or so, rather than a full 
day. And the movie was not so warm and fuzzy.

ObUA: This would make for a very interesting GMC. Or even PC. I think the 
daily memory loss would be more viable/believable than the ten-minute 
memory loss, at least in terms how how well it could be portrayed in a game 
session.
