Guys, I finally found it. The somewhere safe.
A random assortment of happiness from yesterday:
Got to see Beetlejuice Beetlejuice with the wife, and quite enjoyed it.
FINALLY got those damn Coca-Cola Oreos to go with my Oreo Coca-Cola Zero.
Beat Haunted Castle Revisited on the Castlevania Dominus Collection.
And the cherry on top: I realized that The Matrix is not such a cultural touchstone anymore that Transformers is afraid to reference the Matrix of Leadership prominently in place of the Allspark in, say, a movie like Transformers One.
Yeah, that last one might be old news, but I just never really gave it much thought until a friend of mine brought up a Matrix in Doctor Who predating ours earlier.

Alright, so follow up post.
Months ago, my brother mentioned they wanted to get another fire proof safe. His wife kept saying they needed it cause she keep putting important paper work "somewhere safe" and then losing it. Same thing her mom did, same thing my mom did. Somewhere safe.
So... here we are.
What you aren't seeing: the two christmas gifts I wrapped, and stored in the safe. The safe is their christmas gift too, but I usually try to give fun stuff, so there's some trinkets in there for when they actually get around to opening it to use it.
My current estimate is that they won't open it till march. Thankfully nothing inside has an expiration date.

Since yesterday afternoon, I have been receiving what I shall call wergild.
Not as much as might be just, but much better than nothing by far.

Discovering a keyboard short cut that enables me to view all of my open windows at once and then selecting it, the buttons are: Win (the button next to Ctrl) & Tab, I found it purely by accident, at first I wasn't sure what buttons I pressed, so I looked it up and found the right combo, so its useful if you got more than 3 windows open at once
Yeah, but it helps you find the window you are looking for quicker, when you got a bunch of windows open at once, instead of just using Alt-tab, to scroll between them!
THIS MADE ME HAPPY:
Started off today's Infinite Archive run in ESO really bad(died on a Arc 1 boss(!!!) among other things) but scraped out a Focused Efforts buff, a bonus thread buff, and finally remembered a skill swap I'd wanted to do since Update 43 dropped and kept forgetting, and managed to scrape together a recovery and push into Arc 4 when I was expecting to not make it much past 3-1-1.
I'm a simple person. I really like pizza pockets. Can't eat the mccain ones, they got flax in them and I'm allergic. Until about a year ago, it wasn't a problem. "No name" (which is the actual brand name.) had their own, no allergens. 8 in a box for 5 bucks. Dirt cheap and tasty. Perfect treat food. Until about a year ago... *sigh* the company (which is associated with loblaws.) refocused the no name brand towards uncooked, bulk products. Great idea, really, since right now the people need cheap food stuffs to cook inexpensive meals with, not more junk food... but still...
So I made my own.
They were not pizza pockets. But god damn were they good. Plus: you know, put what you want in there. Some red onions did the basic pepperoni pizza some good. I also purchased a ball of real pizza dough to go along side the pillsbury crap so next time I can make them better.

What made me happy was basically landing a dream gig.
That was tempered somewhat by finding out I might not be getting my %$#@ing Studio Series Steeljaw because of some %$#@-up with Amazon.ca's %$#@ing shipment. Meanwhile, Amazon.com isn't the one selling theirs anymore, but some %$#@ing third-party seller who doubled the price since I last checked.
It's like the universe doesn't want me to have this stupid yellow plastic toy representation of a cat that I've been wanting for Primus knows however long.
...I believe my anger and frustration at this turn of events has been tempered considerably by the aforementioned very good news.

It seems that every peahen in the neighborhood has decided to raise their chicks in my back yard.
Even though I've been friends with them for a while now, they always raised their chicks in a cul-de-sac a few blocks away, where there's inherently less traffic. Smart birds. But I guess they've weighed the benefits and decided to move.

Getting my package of a bunch of lego kits I ordered from Lego themselves, what I got is:
Ideas, Nightmare before Christmas
Lego Sonic: Sonic and Knuckles and the Shrine of the Master Emerald
Lego Sonic: :Super Sonic vs. Egg Drillster
Creator Halloween (freebie)
And one of those brick headz (another freebie)
I care not for the Brick headz as I have no clue who the character is or what they are, thus that will remain sealed until some point, when I either decide to raid it for parts (highly unlikely) or sell it off, the Halloween one, I'm keeping as it looks nice! Of the kits, already built the Emerald shine, its the prefect compaion to Knuckles mecha kit, which I got a little while back, mainly for the Master Emerald, yet to start on the other kits
Also, what made me happy today was a video clip of a little boy, meeting his new baby sister for the first time, inspecting them, head to toe and saying "They got no arms!!" when they are just wrapped up in a blanket

Booking a ticket to FINALLY go and see Transformers One, at my local cinema, tomorow evening, also, watching the program about Pirate and it was covering the most famous pirate of them all, Blackbeard, it was truly insightful, into the man and legend, what really intersting about him, is, much of his myth and legend, is built upon by fear, at first by him, but then the royal navy and pretty much imortalised him
