Interesting bits and pieces to the story. The log/journal style doesn’t allow for a lot of description though, which limits you a bit.

This is true. I confess that I don’t do all that much first-person fiction, but felt that it was applicable in this case (I continued using it when it had been used previously) to heighten the sense of urgency and make the streams of consciousness more tangible so as to increase the impact of the storyline.
