My desktop be sprawling

I got a new computer monitor. It is wide and it is 19 inches across. It looks huge here on my desk, like the windows are going to swallow me up. What I'm trying to say is there are more pixels here than I am used to dealing with.

I got a check in the mail today from IVY Tech College. Did I tell you that I am receiving education at IVY Tech? I did not; I am sorry. But I got a butt-load of financial aid by virtue of the fact that I am 24 years old(and therefore the government considers me "independent") and I did not make a lick of money last year. Today they sent me the remainder and it is almost $1500. That's as much as I made total at my last job. I tell you I feel bad about it, but it's tempting to try to live off the money-printing powers of the government, once one has got a taste of it.

I have produced another game for a competition at jayisgames. This time I am pitted against 49 other skilled ludologists. This means bad odds for me but a rich bounty for those who enjoy fun.

The consensus on the site is that my game, entitled "Balancing Act" is too hard. I think people just need to increase their feeble balancing skills.
