Aftermath It's the bride of the binary blog (special E3 2004 edition)!!! Good: I didn't work as hard as last year. Bad: It was still too much and not really worth it. Good: I had a personal support system this year and it really helped. Bad: The whole team worked hard and it was still only good enough for third. Good: I've convinced myself that I can't do it next year--not like this. Bad: I've admitted that I'm getting older. Bad: I only got to go to one party. Bad: I really didn't get to see much. Good: Thousands of people heard the soothing sounds of my voice, while marvelling at my wit, charm, and analytical prowess. Bad: Thousands of people fled from a handful of televisions displaying my grotesque visage. Good: I'm still pretty damn cool. Good: The whole experience is really making me examine my life. Steps have already been taken to change. Bad: I'm really not sure what the hell I'm doing. Bad: There are a few major complications that need to be sorted out. Bad: They all lead somewhere potentially amazing, but not without great risk and/or sacrifice. Good: Okay, I'm really cool.
