Day 295 - #Photo365 - Repeat A Photo From Last Month
Moem hosted a third installment of the Geeky Bling workshop, in which computer components were transformed into (Christmas) decorations.
"The heart necklace, the dress, the boots....
...it's everything I've ever dreamed of."
Over the last couple of months, I've been working tirelessly in terms of my physical health and confidence building to get to this point.
This week marked the beginning of stage two of my transgender journey and I had a chance to finally lock in a style that I'll embrace.
So I decided to go with a geek look and personality.

Panic!
I was looking for one important file, which was not in any of my archive discs... so gotta fired up my almost forgotten 15"
It was dusty but it has my file!
Look at that mess of cables... no wonder I loose things.

So I decided to go with a geek look and personality.
These picks were made with the assumption that the participants involved would be five copies of the literal embodiment of each teamsā respective mascot, battling in a fight to the death on a regulation sized basketball court. You know, like the good ole days in Rome. When I mentioned this idea in a status update, I was surprised at the response I got, so I posted all of my picks but give further explanation below for the ones that might be confusing and/or interesting.
1st Round
Ohio State Mavericks Vs. Siena Saints
Iām sorry but piety can only get you so far. The rebellious Mavericks are liable to have some original and underhanded tricks up their sleeves. The saints can pray all they want, but I doubt they can summon any bolts of lightning.
Winner: Mavericks
Utah Utes vs. Arizona Wildcats
Well, considering the Native American Ute tribe could very well have hunted the wildcat for food and clothing, Iād say Arizona does not stand a chance against these savages.
Winner: Utes
Wake Forest Demon Deacons vs. Cleveland State Vikings
I donāt care how much of a bad-ass preacher you are, the Norse got mad weaponry. Bible thumpers will get sliced and diced with impunity...not to mention those helmets with the horns on them.
Winner: Vikings
West Virginia Mountaineers vs. Dayton Flyers
Mountaineers got fierce pick axes. The Flyers are named in honor of Orville and Wilbur Wright, the pale geeky chaps who invented a plane made out of paper and wood that flew for 20 seconds.
Winner: Mountaineers
Kansas Jayhawks vs. North Dakota State Bison
Now this one was tough for a couple of reasons. First, the Jayhawks are a made-up animal: cross between a blue jay and a hawk. Half-intimidating I suppose. And the bison is just monumentally larger than virtually any bird. But letās be honest with ourselves here, a bison is really nothing but a cow with a beard. You might as well paint a big red and white target on its back. The fight would be long and bloody, but this will be a triumph of speed and agility over brute strength and oafishness as the Jayhawks peck a multitude of tiny holes into tough buffalo flesh.
Winner: Jayhawks
UConn Huskies vs. Chattanooga Mocs
Just in case you were wondering, Moc is short for Mockingbird.
Winner: Huskies
BYU Vikings vs. Texas A&M Aggies
What weāre really talking about here is a bunch of shovel totinā farmers against a bunch of axe-wielding Norsemen.
Winner: Vikings
Memphis Tigers vs. Cal State Matadors
To be fair, a one-on-one fight would be interesting. A top-notch matador could survive for a short time against a tiger, and dudeās got a sword- a well-placed stab would end it. But things get chaotic really fast when it ceases to be a mano a mano (to steal from the Spaniards) battle.
Winner: Tigers
Pittsburgh Panthers vs. East Tennessee State Buccaneers
Without semi-automatic weapons, these 17th century pirates would be hard-pressed to lick a bunch of felines before having to reload. And once that happens, its curtains for Blackbeard.
Winner: Panthers
Oklahoma State Cowboys vs. Tennessee Volunteers
The Tennessee Volunteers were a group of soldiers who fought in the war of 1812- the ramrod and flintlock days. My archetype of the American cowboy brandishes one or two Colt revolvers and is handy with a lasso.
Winner: Cowboys
Illinois Fighting Illini vs. Western Kentucky Hilltoppers
The Illini were a Native American tribe. The Hilltoppers were a group of students who marched from W. Kentuckyās old campus to a new one (yes, on top of a hill) carrying school supplies. Bows and arrows beat books and slide rules.
Winner: Fighting Illini
Oklahoma Sooners vs. Morgan State Bears
Remember the movie āFar and Awayā where the pioneers Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman race to āstake their claimā on the frontier? Now remember big, hungry, bloodthirsty bears?
Winner: Bears
2nd Round
Utah Utes vs. Cleveland State Vikings
They both have bows and arrows, but Vikings have axes, pole-arms, armor, and giant red beards.
Winner: Vikings
Illinois Illini vs. Akron Zips
The Zips made it this far by having a kangaroo as their mascot. Theyāre good boxers and cute to boot, but it ends here for the Ohioan hoppers.
Winner: Illini
Arizona State Sun Devils vs. Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks
The Sun Devils logo was designed by an alumnus who used to be an artist for Disney. His creation was a mischievous imp (not the devil). Imps are small and weak, but are known for their trickery. They end up besting the strong but dim-witted lumberjacks, but get their due in the next round- tigers are not easily fooled.
Winner: Sun Devils
Sweet 16
BYU Vikings vs. Purdue Boilermakers
The Boilermakers have made it this far by burning through the competition with their welding torches, but these are only effective in hand-to-hand combat and have a very limited range. Not to mention the fact that the Vikings are somewhat protected by their armor. Long range arrows and pole arms are the deciding factor here.
Winner: Vikings
Elite Eight
LSU Tigers vs. Clemson Tigers
I know I know, how could there be a winner here? Well. Clemson has a cartoon tiger mascot, while LSU has an actual Bengal tiger theyāve adopted. Iām sorry, but my high school mascot was the cougar, and we had an actual cougar to represent our school. Real beats fake every time.
Winner: LSU Tigers
A note on Tigers vs. Bears
This matchup happened a few times and hereās the logic: Grizzly bears are ginormous, weighing up to 1500 pounds and really tear ass. Comparatively, black bears (Cornell) are just slightly larger than dogs. The largest species of tiger is the Siberian, and they would probably lick a grizzly, but the smaller Bengal would be hard-pressed to do so. I did my best in each case to find out the breed of each teamās respective beast. The Discovery Channel helped enormously in my research.
Why do the Blue Devils rule all?
They get their name from the US 88th infantry, who in WW2 made use of machine guns, grenades, bazookas, and flamethrowers to beat the snot out of the Germans. They win handily, and are a good b-ball team in real life to boot. Yay.
So my room service of fettucine alfredo and seasoned potatoes arrived, and thus commenced the first night of my stay. This consisted of Sex in the City on tv and being the usual geek on my laptop.

Hi everyone! I'm back from a week in France. I went to Saint-Bresson in Les Vosges with my mother and her partner. It was very beautifull, and we walked a lot through the mountains. I haven't made many pictures, the weather didn't really coƶperate ;) But here are a few. Taken in front of the house, this was our view :)
So, now I can catch up with all of you again, and I hope you all had a nice christmas!
