Lurker Day approaching; wildlife
Aug. 17th, 2011 07:23 pmWhat's this? Could it be that I'm actually remembering the approach of my semi-annual pseudo-holiday on my own and in a timely manner? Why, it appears so!
( Vague planning )
Hmmm; food for thought.

There's been a hummingbird hanging around our backyard for the past week or two; we haven't gotten them too often in the past, so it's pretty neat to see one flitting around :) I saw it twice today - and each time it's taken a rest for at least part of the sighting. It's - interesting, I guess, to see one at rest? IDK, I guess I have them mentally characterized as either in motion, taking care of a nest/nestlings, or sleeping, though that's really rather silly. If I had to consume my body weight in sugar every day just to move about normally, I'm sure I'd take as many opportunities to rest as I could!
Either way, Hummingbirds At Rest sounds like a great band/album/book/movie/wev name :)

Crochet-wise, I'm this close to being done with Vincent!Pony. He just needs his eyes, some cloak clasps, and a cutie mark/butt tattoo. Honestly, I'm a little stumped as to what I'm going to do for his cutie mark :/ The image I've been using has the appropriate spot covered by his cape. It also doesn't have one for Cloud, who doesn't have that excuse, and Sephiroth's is indistinct. Zach doesn't appear at all. Their names can help, to a certain extent, but that's also really tempting me to make Tifa's a heart-shaped lock rather than mountains - it's both literal and incredibly pony, and also implies rather less that her special talent is'giant boobs' 'great tracts of land', though what that would make her special talent I've no real idea.
Really, this whole thing would probably be easier if I were more familiar with the FFVII collective. *sigh* Screw it, I'mma go make more mini Squiddles until I either think of something or someone can help me out with this.
Incidentally, while Vincent!Pony's cape does not go up so far as to cover his nose, it still looks really fucking fantastic. I tried the "Make the collar big enough he can drown in it" option and it just looked ridiculous, so I went and crocheted a tattered end on the cape-y bit instead :3b It's maybe a bit more even than verisimilitude would allow - divides every three stitches by width - but is otherwise downright awesome, if I do say so myself.
Also, I am extra disappointed that my parents apparently sold our copy of Advent Children after I moved out; I rather like to "watch" related things while I'm working on a project, and now I'm a bit SOL. Maybe I can buy the MVIX from C and then convert and download a bunch of Lets Plays from YouTube or something for future FFVII ponies.
