Dominos has to be the worst pizza out there, right? My local (when I used to go) did a Hawaiian with about 10 pieces of pineapple, a sprinkle of ham, and an overwhelming amount of paste it basically tasted like bread and tomato paste.

Well I'm from Utica and I've never heard the term 'gravy'

- Simpsons reference.

[-] danwritesbooks@aussie.zone 3 points 5 days ago

I recommend it.

Never watched the Sopranos until now. Great show, but as someone who grew up with Italian grandparents, calling pasta sauce 'gravy' makes my eye twitch.

Forewarning: Brag post.

I got a message from the parent of a student who goes to a school I did a talk at during book week who said "I inspired her son to come home and write a story" and jesus christ has that made my day/week/year. I don't get them that often, but every time I get a message from a parent saying something like that it just means so much knowing there is a kid out there writing his own story now.

I just got a random email from someone saying they love reading my books and I am one of their favourite authors ever.

I figured it was just a spam email since I get them frequently - usually wanting to sell me something - and its too my author outlook email which is advertised in the books and on my twitter profile, etc.

Check the email address and it's from an education email address - so the ones they give assign to kids at school.

Could still be a bored student taking the piss, but I choose to believe I just got my first ever fan e-mail.

I don't like bragging, but this is shortlived so I'm gonna own it.

I got my other assignment back yesterday.

Again.

I thought I was looking at the previous one. But nope. 2 x 92's in a row. Couldn't believe it.

Holy moly, I got a 92 on my last assignment. That is a pleasant surprise.

Well I rang the EAP people and after being told they are no longer our support, which would have been par for the course, she was wrong and I have an appointment sorted.

Aside from that little hiccup, it wasn't scary at all.

Thanks for your support too. It made it easier to deal with.

If anyone is interested, the school I presented at had a nice write up about yesterday. It is a facebook link though
