The "What made you happy today" thread!

Rewatching a old anime movie: on DVD Highlander: the Serach for Vengence, mostly set in the 2185, a ruined New York City, following Collin McCloud and his never ending quest for revenge, the story starts in Scottland or England, over two thousand years prior to the main story, during the Roman invasion and Collin is the leader of a small Clan that chosen to stand against the Romans, but things do not go as planned and he dies along with his Clan, but most importantly, he lover is also killed, so he pretty much pissed for two thousand years as he seeks to kill the man responible for that deed!

My favorite ice cream was finally back in stock. It's been so long that I was worried it was discontinued.

 

[Stepwise]

Finished a class I've been taking this summer. May have squeaked under the wire on getting it done and getting the transcript request in, too, so there's a possibility of a raise this year instead of having to wait one more year. Now I can get back to some of the projects I've started and set aside.

It's September now. August is over.

That means I officially made it one whole month without life dumping any heavy bs on me. One month. I have not had one whole month since the summer of 2021. But it finally happened.

 

[Caldwin]

Let's continue that trend!

Doordash shopper had to make some substitutions on my grocery order and made some really nice choices. I don't think I'm just coping when I say it's better than what I asked for.

Completing my Lego One piece Arlong Park kit, its a intersting model and next is the Merry Go kit

I'm very happy that I splurged on the top of class MOBO and power supply when I built this computer. The power has gone out twice in the last 24 hours, and she's bounced back like nothing happened.

 

[Pocket]

I've never had a computer struggle getting back to life after a power outage, and I suffered through a decade with a power supply from freaking Rocketfish. Is that a thing that can happen?

 

[wonko the sane?]

You shoulda bought a lottery ticket instead of computer that day. I've lost two computers to power outages: one was an accident when a storm blew through and the second was strictly and deliberately hydroquebecs fault for not warning of impending action which is required by law.

I bought a box of break time chocolate chip cookies. A handful of those and a cup of tea is the best two bucks you can spend.

Having a certain Tankformer, arrive in the mail and transforming him to tank and sticking his original alt mode on top of the tank

Had two really good TTRPG sessions today.

The first one we fought an aberration and for one I got to make good use of the "Protection form Good and Evil" spell(and help rescue some ghost kittens) then we tracked down the Malarite instigators of its transformation and Luna(my werewolf paladin) got to properly verbally and physically tear into the enemy werewolf - a literal dogfight before she realized she was losing and bailed. Oh, that fight isn't over, not by a long shot.

Then in the session after that using Nimble(think of it as a rules-light D&D 5e)we managed to beat down some sort of demon thing, and now we're trying to help the townsfolk evacuate while one PC(who is some sort of reincarnated dead god) is trying to distract the BBEG. My gnoll druid's gotten to go full bear tank and she's been tanking good, but we also realized we'd been misreading a rule so she's gonna get a bit more squishy when we resume.

Also got a commission back(technically yesterday) super-quickly of my gnoll from that second campaign cooking for a couple of our party members. Too tired tonight to post it though.

Oh, and had a really good run of the daily strikes in Guild Wars 2, and actually stayed up until the end of Boneskinner for once.

I STILL GET CARDED! It's not over yet.

What made me happy today, is the arrival of a figure that I preordered over a year ago, Transformers 40th selection: Lio Convoy, and he looks GREAT, WAY better than the legacy figure, a prefect homage to the original figure and character desgin, he got the spinning mane gimmick, thou you have to spin that yourself, the lion's eyes don't look DEAD, they been actually painted, all of the new parts are making up the beast mode head and mane, overall, he is a well done figure in my view

 

[wonko the sane?]

Oh yeah, I remember that figure. It made the original look like aslan's special younger brother.

I have the ad-tier of Netflix. While watching Wednesday just now I saw the old Tootsie Roll pop commercial with the owl. Like, I didn't even realize they still used that commercial. I haven't seen it since I was a kid.

I don't know why, but for some reason, seeing that commercial actually just made my day.

Just finished building my lego One Piece Going Merry, its a satfactory build and the first time I built a major lego boat on that scale, my only complaint, would be that, they used stickers for some of the finner detail instead of printed pieces, the wanted posters I got with the kit were:
Buggy the Clown X2
Monkey D Luffy
Gold Roger

Apparently, it's recently been remade. Pretty much identical to the original version too.

For once, a remake that no one is up in arms about.

My wife and I celebrated our 8th wedding anniversary today.
