Happy Almost Birthday Me

 Hello. C J here. We’ve started birthday preparations here at the Mcpherson household. Birthdays are a big even around here and mine is soon. Me and my family just finished unboxing a new mattress and we’re debating the benefits of Pokemon sheets on team morale. Considering our team is mostly Pokemon squishmallows I think they’ll approve. I’m currently sipping an iced coffee and it seemed like a good day for a personal life update. Find my iced coffee recipe in my Heat Wave Survival Guide post.

I’m meeting up with one of my friends from Facebook Dating later today for coffee and maybe lunch. This is good. I’ve also found that there is a website called Furry Events Ontario that manages all of the furry fandom events in the region and also works with people to host and promote events. I’ve always figured all the furry fandom in this city know each other somehow and now I think I’ve found how that happened. Time to resume doing house party planning.

I’m putting the things I’ve learned from Facebook Dating about social media into Five Million Strong in Quantum. See more about Five Million Strong on the Quantum page. I’ve figured out there are four steps to using social media for friendship. Pick a social media platform. I’ve learned what I’m looking for. The application needs to be LGBTQ+ friendly or it’s not worth anything to anyone regardless of their gender or sexual orientation. It needs to let you pick who you chat with. It needs to show common interests so the users knows what they have in common with each other. Bluesky might also meet these conditions. I’m looking into Bluesky next.

Then it’s sorting profiles and sending likes or chat requests. Then it’s saying hello and establishing contact. Then it’s meeting in person. These four steps will be on cards. Craft all four of them together and you get a legendary card that allows you to pay the card to permanently recruit any one hero by name into your personal team of friends. This set of five cards will have a Shadowed gem colour. Shadowed deals with colours, emotions and life force as its crafting materials. Back to my coffee.

Chinese Food That is Very Saucy

Hello. C J here. I read a lot of cookbooks. This is done mostly for fun. I’m currently reading a short but really interesting book about traditional Chinese cooking. The book was written by an Indian author who has clearly researched Chinese food very well but some of the translations of recipes or concepts get a bit strange. I’m currently done the soups and starters section and am onto the section labelled ‘food that is saucy.’ Cool? Is it also savvy? There’s a surprisingly large amount of ketchup in the recipes. No I don’t think I want a recipe for hot and sour soup that is thickened ketchup water with vinegar and a bit of cabbage. No I also don’t want to take a slice of white wonderbread, roll it into a tube, stuff it with canned corn, deep fry it and then top it with sesame seeds. What in God’s name do they eat in China? And why is it specifically an image of white wonderbread? China? Are you okay? I managed to take out the vinegar, water and corn starch that makes up most of the h...

The Tunnels Under Haven

 Hello. C J here. Walking down the streets of Haven is not always as safe as the city would like people to think. Yes, they have curbed the banditry that plagues the Southern half of the Coastal Road. The Desert Princes whose cities dot the Southern coast of the Southern Continent if anything make the problem worse for themselves with their constant rivalries and politics. So no, a traveller in Haven or in the River Lands is unlikely to meet a bandit or other criminal sort. But then there’s the walking dead to consider. Many of the basements, catacombs and landmarks of Haven have old foundations from before the city had its current name. In ages long past it was one of two competing capitols for the Desert Empire, both of which unified under the first Sand King of the Gold Dynasty, the God-Lion. It was never his place of residence and both the other capitol and the rest of the Desert Empire are long since buried under the dunes. Well, people like to assume they’re buried. People wo...

Let's All Be Friends, No Really - Part Two

 Hello. C J here. I’ve updated my plans to make a Discord server for everyone here and on Facebook. Making a Discord server to my knowledge costs money. However, making a Facebook group does not. I’ve made a few of those over the years as well for various reasons. I’m going to look into this soon and then add the links here and in the menus here as well. I’m certain a Facebook group is what we need. I’m planning a number of chats within the group. So far my current plans are as follows. Art and Artwork Health and Wellness Food and Baking Magic and Spirituality Writing and Software NSFW I’m planning a private group but if I can get it open entry without a form or sign up page or anything. As for rules I’m going to reuse some from past of these I’ve done. Everyone is Welcome Be Polite Advertising is Allowed Follow the Content Ratings The Facebook group will take some planning but not any actual effort to build. It’s that simple. Thanks. C J Mcpherson
