i was in the studio audience on a show called twin cities live earlier today, done this a few times before and i liked dressing up in a halloween costume for it. last time was likely over a year ago, it's a more popular show now as i made this reservation back in february, 3 months ago. now i'm told they are booked up until september. they had a group of women with purple dresses that looked like the red har club, seen this as a joke on a 'simpsons' episode before, and one of my comedian friends has done it as well. got my seat switched early in the show, i was next to a journalist interviewing somebody who was scratching off lottery tickets, 100 in all i think, but got just $26. i like gettign free stuff, this time it included a book written by a guest today, 'normal gets you nowhere' by kelly cutrone. sounds like a good read, she's a fashion publicist with a cable show.
i did some errand running before the show since i had a day off, it included getting some puzzles to the workplace as i didn't have the time to finish them before leaving the office on thursday. i did get some pictures of snoopy statues i saw nearby, since i had a camera with me.
i didn't do entries the opast 2 days, since i like doing them late in the evening and the site was unavailable then. it said 'due to maintenance' so i badly wanted to get an entry in. usually i just skip one day since i am out of town and busy.
wednesday was the saints season opening block party, i like attending it each year. they show off the pig mascot there, i get a softee baseball as well. there's plenty of food for real cheap, proceeds going to charity. slices of little caesar's pizza for a dollar, 2 white castle burgers for a dollar. i had one slice of pizza and 4 burgers, and a free can of sun drop. also tried my luck at whiffle ball, from a tee using air to keep the ball above the tee. also liked getting pictures of little caesar and mudonna, the saints 'furry pig' mascot. the 4-legged mascot is an actual pig, and there's a different pig and name each year. this one was in reference to teen idol singer justin beiber, 'bei-boar'.
didn't do much on thursday, i liked staying in and watching 'big bang theory' and shredding some junk mail as well as consolidating old forms, eliminating some envelopes. also was reading from a book about french huguenots, dad said we are descended from them. one member of the huguenot group on facebook claimed there were huguenots in canada, another member said there wasn't. then said there was, but not for long, i found out this was true from online articles. in the early days they allowed protestants there, but when the quebec charter was written in 1627 it barred them from migrating, stated 'catholics only'. before that the huguenots dominated the fur trade. in addition, the main migration was the mass migration after the edict of nantes was revoked in 1685. most of what is written about the huguenots is the mass migration. and the famous people who were huguenots are mostly from the american revolution, since they largely vanished quickly after moving to america. they married into others religious and ethnic groups. some of their facilities survived and are now on the national register of historic places, like the huguenot church in charleston, SC. there is also settlements in new paltz, NY, huguenot street there. along with the thomas paine house in new rochelle, NY. the museum for the huguenots in that town. boston has faneuil hall. the ones with the most fame are paul revere, francis marion- 'the swamp fox'- and peter faneuil. many presidents have huguenot ancestors, starting with washington. i shared 3 photos from the huguenot church, which i saw while in the carolinas last year, on facebook. one of them was tagged by somebody from south africa. it was the photo of the huguenot presidents. the other 2 was the cornerstone and the church after a service.
