Started watching Paripi Koumei/Ya Boy! Kongming and it's very chill and fun!!
Everyone is a normal person with reasonable thoughts and opinions and Kongming is here like "I will dedicate myself body and soul to you. Your word is my command. Only speak the word, and i will make it happen"
very down-to-earth look at the music industry
basically a Fate game but the Master and Servant are just chilling and trying to climb the charts instead
Kongming occasionnally having sad emotional "ive lost everyone ive ever known" thoughts and im sad too
The man-out-of-time trope works great because everyone reacting to Kongming goes "this is clearly a autistic man with a very specific hyperfixation, but that's none of my business"
Kongming: "I may have died a thousand years ago but manipulating people is still the same"
the heroine's backstory is that she had depression and idk i like that
representation for when you hear a random song and project your current emotions on it and then become obsessed
General theme of "Even the small, good things are important"

underrated dynamic of spy x family is that Loid has no idea about his own emotions, at all. They formed their little family and
Yor was immediately delighted with Anya and was ready to kill for this new adorable daughter, and anytime Loid does anything she blushes and is super impressed, and she wants to impress him, and
Anya loves her papa and mama very much (it's free family real estate!) and is the only one who really understands that they are a family
meanwhile Loid still believes he's doing all this for the mission. Dude almost maimed a teacher (and risked ruining the mission!) for making Anya cry and has on several occasions talked back to someone for bad-talking Yor and he's still like: "Hm, wonder why i did that"

• IJN Aircraft Carrier Hiryū
Hiryū (飛龍, "Flying Dragon") was an aircraft carrier built for the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) during the 1930s. Generally regarded as the only ship of her class, she was built to a modified Sōryū design.
Hiryū was one of two large carriers approved for construction under the 1931–32 Supplementary Program. Originally designed as the sister ship of Sōryū, her design was enlarged and modified in light of the Tomozuru and Fourth Fleet Incidents in 1934–1935 that revealed many IJN ships were top-heavy, unstable and structurally weak. Her forecastle was raised and her hull strengthened. Other changes involved increasing her beam, displacement, and armor protection. The ship had a length of 227.4 meters (746 ft 1 in) overall, a beam of 22.3 meters (73 ft 2 in) and a draft of 7.8 meters (25 ft 7 in). She displaced 17,600 metric tons (17,300 long tons) at standard load and 20,570 metric tons (20,250 long tons) at normal load. Her crew consisted of 1,100 officers and enlisted men. Hiryū was fitted with four geared steam turbine sets with a total of 153,000 shaft horsepower (114,000 kW). Hiryū carried 4,500 metric tons (4,400 long tons) of fuel oil which gave her a range of 10,330 nautical miles (19,130 km; 11,890 mi) at 18 knots (33 km/h; 21 mph). The boiler uptakes were trunked to the ship's starboard side amidships and exhausted just below flight deck level through two funnels curved downward.
The carrier's 216.9-meter (711 ft 7 in) flight deck was 27 meters (88 ft 6 in) wide and overhung her superstructure at both ends, supported by pairs of pillars. Hiryū was one of only two carriers ever built whose island was on the port side of the ship (Akagi was the other). It was also positioned further to the rear and encroached on the width of the flight deck, unlike Sōryū. The flight deck was only 12.8 meters (42 ft) above the waterline and the ship's designers kept this figure low by reducing the height of the hangars. The upper hangar was 171.3 by 18.3 meters (562 by 60 ft) and had an approximate height of 4.6 meters (15 ft); the lower was 142.3 by 18.3 meters (467 by 60 ft) and had an approximate height of 4.3 meters (14 ft). Together they had an approximate total area of 5,736 square meters (61,740 sq ft). This caused problems in handling aircraft because the wings of a Nakajima B5N "Kate" torpedo bomber could neither be spread nor folded in the upper hangar. Aircraft were transported between the hangars and the flight deck by three elevators, the forward one abreast the island on the centerline and the other two offset to starboard.
Hiryū's primary anti-aircraft (AA) armament consisted of six twin-gun mounts equipped with 12.7-centimeter Type 89 dual-purpose guns mounted on projecting sponsons, three on either side of the carrier's hull. When firing at surface targets, the guns had a range of 14,700 meters (16,100 yd); they had a maximum ceiling of 9,440 meters (30,970 ft) at their maximum elevation of +90 degrees. Their maximum rate of fire was 14 rounds a minute, but their sustained rate of fire was approximately eight rounds per minute. The ship was equipped with two Type 94 fire-control directors to control the 12.7-centimeter (5.0 in) guns, one for each side of the ship; the starboard-side director was on top of the island and the other director was positioned below flight deck level on the port side. The ship's light AA armament consisted of seven triple and five twin-gun mounts for license-built Hotchkiss 25 mm Type 96 AA guns. Two of the triple mounts were sited on a platform just below the forward end of the flight deck. Hiryū had a waterline belt with a maximum thickness of 150 millimeters (5.9 in) over the magazines that reduced to 90 millimeters (3.5 in) over the machinery spaces and the gas storage tanks. It was backed by an internal anti-splinter bulkhead. The ship's deck was 25 millimeters (0.98 in) thick over the machinery spaces and 55 millimeters (2.2 in) thick over the magazines and gas storage tanks.
Following the Japanese ship-naming conventions for aircraft carriers, Hiryū was named "Flying Dragon". The ship was laid down at the Yokosuka Naval Arsenal on July 8th, 1936, launched on November 16th, 1937 and commissioned on July 5th, 1939. She was assigned to the Second Carrier Division on November 15th. In September 1940, the ship's air group was transferred to Hainan Island to support the Japanese invasion of French Indochina. In February 1941, Hiryū supported the blockade of Southern China. Two months later, the 2nd Carrier Division, commanded by Rear Admiral Tamon Yamaguchi, was assigned to the First Air Fleet, or Kido Butai, on April 10th. Hiryū returned to Japan on August 7th and began a short refit that was completed on September 15th. She became flagship of the Second Division from September 22nd to October 26th while Sōryū was refitting. In November 1941, the IJN's Combined Fleet, commanded by Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, prepared to participate in Japan's initiation of a formal war with the United States by conducting a preemptive strike against the United States Navy's Pacific Fleet base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. On November 22nd, Hiryū, commanded by Captain Tomeo Kaku, and the rest of the Kido Butai, under Vice Admiral Chuichi Nagumo and including six fleet carriers from the First, Second, and Fifth Carrier Divisions, assembled in Hitokappu Bay at Etorofu Island. The fleet departed Etorofu, and followed a course across the north-central Pacific to avoid commercial shipping lanes. Now the flagship of the Second Carrier Division, the ship embarked 21 Mitsubishi A6M Zero fighters, 18 Aichi D3A "Val" dive bombers, and 18 Nakajima B5N "Kate" torpedo bombers. From a position 230 nmi (430 km; 260 mi) north of Oahu, Hiryū and the other five carriers launched two waves of aircraft on the morning of December 7th, 1941 Hawaiian time. In the first wave, 8 B5N torpedo bombers were supposed to attack the aircraft carriers that normally berthed on the northwest side of Ford Island, but none were in Pearl Harbor that day; 4 of the B5N pilots diverted to their secondary target, ships berthed alongside "1010 Pier" where the fleet flagship was usually moored. That ship, the battleship Pennsylvania, was in drydock and its position was occupied by the light cruiser Helena and the minelayer Oglala; all four torpedoes missed. The other four pilots attacked the battleships West Virginia and Oklahoma. The remaining 10 B5Ns were tasked to drop 800-kilogram (1,800 lb) armor-piercing bombs on the battleships berthed on the southeast side of Ford Island ("Battleship Row") and may have scored one or two hits on them, in addition to causing a magazine explosion aboard the battleship Arizona that sank her with heavy loss of life. The second wave consisted of 9 Zeros and 18 D3As, They strafed the airfield, and shot down two Curtiss P-40 fighters attempting to take off when the Zeros arrived and a Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress heavy bomber that had earlier diverted from Hickam Army Airfield, and also destroyed a Stinson O-49 observation aircraft on the ground for the loss of one of their own. The D3As attacked various ships in Pearl Harbor, but it is not possible to identify which aircraft attacked which ship.
While returning to Japan after the attack, Vice Admiral Chūichi Nagumo, commander of the First Air Fleet, ordered that Sōryū and Hiryū be detached on December 16th to attack the defenders of Wake Island who had already defeated the first Japanese attack on the island. The two carriers reached the vicinity of the island on December 21st and launched 29 D3As and 2 B5Ns, escorted by 18 Zeros, to attack ground targets. They encountered no aerial opposition and launched 35 B5Ns and 6 A6M Zeros the following day. The carriers arrived at Kure on 29 December. They were assigned to the Southern Force on January 8th, 1942 and departed four days later for the Dutch East Indies. The ships supported the invasion of the Palau Islands and the Battle of Ambon, attacking Allied positions on the island on January 23rd with 54 aircraft. Four days later the carriers detached 18 Zeros and 9 D3As to operate from land bases in support of Japanese operations in the Battle of Borneo. Hiryū and Sōryū arrived at Palau on January 28th and waited for the arrival of the carriers Kaga and Akagi. All four carriers departed Palau on February 15th and launched air strikes against Darwin, Australia, four days later. Hiryū contributed 18 B5Ns, 18 D3As, and 9 Zeros to the attack. Her aircraft attacked the ships in port and its facilities, sinking or setting on fire three ships and damaging two others. Hiryū and the other carriers arrived at Staring Bay on Celebes Island on February 21st to resupply and rest before departing four days later to support the invasion of Java. On March 1st, 1942, the ship's D3As damaged the destroyer USS Edsall badly enough for her to be caught and sunk by Japanese cruisers. Later that day the dive bombers sank the oil tanker USS Pecos. Two days later, they attacked Christmas Island and Hiryū's aircraft sank the Dutch freighter Poelau Bras before returning to Staring Bay on March 11th to resupply and train for the impending Indian Ocean raid.
On March 26th, the five carriers of the First Air Fleet departed from Staring Bay; they were spotted by a Catalina about 350 nautical miles (650 km; 400 mi) southeast of Ceylon on the morning of April 4th. Six of Hiryū's Zeros were on Combat Air Patrol (CAP) and helped to shoot it down. Hiryū contributed 18 B5Ns and 9 Zeros to the force; the latter encountered a flight of 6 Fairey Swordfish torpedo bombers from 788 Naval Air Squadron en route and shot them all down without loss. The Japanese aircraft encountered defending Hawker Hurricane fighters from Nos. 30 and 258 Squadrons RAF over Ratmalana airfield and Hiryū's fighters claimed to have shot down 11 with 3 Zeros damaged, although the fighters from the other carriers also made claims. On the morning of April 9th, Hiryū's CAP shot down another Catalina attempting to locate the fleet and, later that morning, contributed 18 B5Ns, escorted by 6 Zeros, to the attack on Trincomalee. The fighters engaged 261 Squadron RAF, claiming to have shot down two with two more shared with fighters from the other carriers. On April 19th, while transiting the Bashi Straits between Taiwan and Luzon en route to Japan, Hiryū, Sōryū, and Akagi were sent in pursuit of the American carriers Hornet and Enterprise, which had launched the Doolittle Raid against Tokyo. They found only empty ocean, as the American carriers had immediately departed the area to return to Hawaii. The carriers quickly abandoned the chase and dropped anchor at Hashirajima anchorage on April 22nd. Having been engaged in constant operations for four and a half months, the ship, along with the other three carriers of the First and Second Carrier Divisions, was hurriedly refitted and replenished in preparation for the Combined Fleet's next major operation, scheduled to begin one month hence. While at Hashirajima, Hiryū's air group was based ashore at Tomitaka Airfield, near Saiki, Ōita, and conducted flight and weapons training with the other First Air Fleet carrier units.
Concerned by the US carrier strikes in the Marshall Islands, Lae-Salamaua, and the Doolittle raids, Yamamoto was determined to force the US Navy into a showdown to eliminate the American carrier threat. He decided to invade and occupy Midway Atoll, which he was sure would draw out the American carriers to defend it. The Japanese codenamed the Midway invasion Operation MI. Unknown to the Japanese, the US Navy had divined the Japanese plan by breaking its JN-25 code and had prepared an ambush using its three available carriers, positioned northeast of Midway. On May 25th, 1942, Hiryū set out with the Combined Fleet's carrier striking force in the company of Kaga, Akagi, and Sōryū, which constituted the First and Second Carrier Divisions, for the attack on Midway. Her aircraft complement consisted of 18 Zeros, 18 D3As, and 18 B5Ns. on June 4th, 1942, Hiryū's portion of the 108-plane airstrike was an attack on the facilities on Sand Island with 18 torpedo bombers, one of which aborted with mechanical problems, escorted by nine Zeros. The air group suffered heavily during the attack: two B5Ns were shot down by fighters, with a third falling victim to AA fire. The carrier also contributed 3 Zeros to the total of 11 assigned to the initial CAP over the four carriers. By 07:05, the carrier had 6 fighters with the CAP which helped to defend the Kido Butai from the first US attackers from Midway Island at 07:10. Hiryū reinforced the CAP with launches of 3 more Zeros at 08:25. These fresh Zeros helped defeat the next American air strike from Midway. Although all the American air strikes had thus far caused negligible damage, they kept the Japanese carrier forces off-balance as Nagumo endeavored to prepare a response to news, received at 08:20, of the sighting of American carrier forces to his northeast.
Hiryū began recovering her Midway strike force at around 09:00 and finished shortly by 09:10. The landed aircraft were quickly struck below, while the carriers' crews began preparations to spot aircraft for the strike against the American carrier forces. The preparations were interrupted at 09:18, when the first attacking American carrier aircraft were sighted. Hiryū launched another trio of CAP Zeros at 10:13 after Torpedo Squadron 3 (VT-3) from Yorktown was spotted. Two of her Zeros were shot down by Wildcats escorting VT-3 and another was forced to ditch. While VT-3 was still attacking Hiryū, American dive bombers arrived over the Japanese carriers almost undetected and began their dives. It was at this time, around 10:20, that in the words of Jonathan Parshall and Anthony Tully, the "Japanese air defenses would finally and catastrophically fail." Three American dive bomber squadrons now attacked the three other carriers and set each of them on fire. Hiryū was untouched and proceeded to launch 18 D3As, escorted by six Zeros, at 10:54. Yamaguchi radioed his intention to Nagumo at 16:30 to launch a third strike against the American carriers at dusk (approximately 18:00), but Nagumo ordered the fleet to withdraw to the west. At this point in the battle, Hiryū had only 4 air-worthy dive-bombers and 5 torpedo-planes left. She also retained 19 of her own fighters on board as well as a further 13 Zeros on CAP (a composite force of survivors from the other carriers). At 16:45, Enterprise's dive bombers spotted the Japanese carrier and began to maneuver for good attacking position while reducing altitude. Hiryū was struck by four 1,000-pound (450 kg) bombs, three on the forward flight deck and one on the forward elevator. The explosions started fires among the aircraft on the hangar deck. The forward half of the flight deck collapsed into the hangar while part of the elevator was hurled against the ship's bridge. The fires were severe enough that the remaining American aircraft attacked the other ships escorting Hiryū, albeit without effect, deeming further attacks on the carrier as a waste of time because she was aflame from stem to stern. Beginning at 17:42, two groups of B-17s attempted to attack the Japanese ships without success, although one bomber strafed Hiryū's flight deck, killing several anti-aircraft gunners. Although Hiryū's propulsion was not affected, the fires could not be brought under control. At 21:23, her engines stopped, and at 23:58 a major explosion rocked the ship. The order to abandon ship was given at 03:15, and the survivors were taken off by the destroyers Kazagumo and Makigumo. Yamaguchi and Kaku decided to remain on board as Hiryū was torpedoed at 05:10 by Makigumo as the ship could not be salvaged. Around 07:00, one of Hōshō's Yokosuka B4Y aircraft discovered Hiryū still afloat and not in any visible danger of sinking. The aviators could also see crewmen aboard the carrier, men who had not received word to abandon ship. They finally launched some of the carrier's boats and abandoned ship themselves around 09:00. Thirty-nine men made it into the ship's cutter only moments before Hiryū sank around 09:12, taking the bodies of 389 men with her. The loss of Hiryū and the three other IJN carriers at Midway, comprising two thirds of Japan's total number of fleet carriers and the experienced core of the First Air Fleet, was a strategic defeat for Japan and contributed significantly to Japan's ultimate defeat in the war. In an effort to conceal the defeat, the ship was not immediately removed from the Navy's registry of ships, instead being listed as "unmanned" before finally being struck from the registry on 25 September 1942. The IJN selected a modified version of the Hiryū design for mass production to replace the carriers lost at Midway. Of a planned program of 16 ships of the Unryū class, only 6 were laid down and 3 were commissioned before the end of the war.

#DegrassiOnThisDay
Lately I’ve been wanting to do a Degrassi re-watch, but I always struggle with where to start. Do I start with a recent season like S13, or should I go all the way back to Degrassi Junior High or TNG Season 1? Then today I was thinking about making a #DegrassiOnThisDay Twitter thread to share what episodes premiered on this date and how long ago. This got me thinking that I could also watch the episodes that premiered on this day. It would be a fun way to re-watch random episodes throughout the year from all different eras of Degrassi. I made a calendar of what episodes premiered when, and I thought I’d share it in case anyone else wants to participate.
How to read this:
Each date indicates which episodes premiered on that day and also the year (e.g. KODS Episode 108 premiered on January 2, 1983 and TNG Episode 609 and 610 premiered on January 2, 2007).
I used short form for each ‘era’ of Degrassi
KODS = The Kids of Degrassi Street
DJH – Degrassi Junior High
DH = Degrassi High
TNG = Degrassi: The Next Generation
DNC = Degrassi Next Class
For each episode, I indicated the very first date it aired. Most of the time this is also the Canadian airdate, but some episodes did premiere in the US first and in those cases I called this out. However Australia airing DNC S2 first is not included
For DNC, I indicated both the Netflix release date and the Family Channel TV premiere, so the episodes are spread out more
I also included the airdates of some of the Degrassi documentaries/specials from over the years

“Six/Nine” album version guide
You may have heard that there’s a censored version of the “Six/Nine” album. This is because the song "Rakuen" caused some controversy with the Japanese Muslim community as in the middle of the song there is a sample of someone reading the Koran. A friend explained it to me back then that it’s not so much the reading of the sacred text but more that it’s read with a certain melody. I think I read at the time that Buck-Tick was not the only group causing offense but that there was also the Koran text on pillows and the like and so basically the Muslim community has been doing their best to be diligent in bringing such matters to light. For the song, the offense was supposedly removed and the album re-released in September. It is also the b-side to the “Kodo” single so that single was also re-released.
The album version of the song is “Rakuen (Inori Negai)” and the single version is just “Rakuen”. “Rakuen” has a rock song feel with a total track time of 4:08 and the offense occurs between 2:27 and 2:43. “Rakuen (Inori Negai)” is a little more ambient with a lot of reverb and effects. The total track time is 4:37 and the offense occurs between 2:28 and 2:43. Not having the sample actually lets you really focus on the tabla, which is quite nice.
Original single released April 21, 1995
Re-issued censored single released September 21, 1995
I first thought that the special edition purple and red cases were the first copies and the clear case was the censored version. Or maybe that the purple came first and then the red or vice versa. I had a clear copy I purchased in Japan. All I knew was that the song got censored and I tried for quite some time to hear how the song was different because I surely thought I had the censored version and I could just not figure it out until someone pointed out that particular sample to me. I realized my copy had it and didn’t understand how I could have a clear case that was uncensored but just let it go for years. One day, I started to think about this again. I tried to focus on what the release date was and when I travelled to Japan and purchased it. Then it hit me how stupid I was. I was in Japan shortly after it’s release! Of course I had the original uncensored copy because it had not yet caused a stir and had not yet been reissued.
Original uncensored version in purple case released May 15, 1995; it came with a sticker:
Original censored version in red case still sealed with purple obi released September 21, 1995 (not sure if these included a sticker)
Since then, “Six/Nine” has been remastered and reissued twice. All versions of the song released from September 1995 onwards will be the censored version. This includes the “BT” compilation released in 1999 which is a very nice way to own many of the b-sides without trying to find each individual single.
2002 censored version as part of Remaster Works series; this version included a sticker which may be displayed in front of the booklist as such:
2002 censored version as part of Remaster Works series with sticker in front and white obi
2007 censored remaster in red case with black obi
If there are fans who want to be sure they are purchasing a particular version, here’s my quick guide to help you decipher which version it is, whether it’s in person or online. There’s always a chance someone had multiple copies of the album and put the wrong CD in the wrong case but I think that’s unlikely.
Purple = should be the original 1995 uncensored copy
Clear case with nothing in the spine = should be the original 1995 uncensored copy
Clear case with the text “Buck-Tick Remaster Works” in the spine = 2002 remaster (censored)
Red case = either the 1995 censored copy or the 2007 remaster reissue (censored)
The obi (little paper on the left side) is also different for the original and remaster works.
Most importantly, check the Catalogue number if it is visible and look at the back of the case.
VICL-654 is the original 1995 release with “Rakuen” uncensored
VICL-711 is the 1995 re-issue with “Rakuen” censored
VICL-60989 is the 2002 censored remaster
VICL-62549 is the 2007 remaster reissue (censored)
*Disclaimer: I do not own any of the remasters so all my info was taken from internet research. The 2007 remaster discs should appear to look like vinyl records. I am not sure what the 2002 remaster discs have on them. The 1995 original uncensored is the album logo on the disc. Not sure if the 1995 censored disc has the same logo.

Reggie Bush, Marques Colston headline stellar Saints Hall of Fame Class of 2019
Marques Colston and Reggie Bush traveled divergent paths to the New Orleans Saints, arriving in the 2006 NFL Draft with vastly different pedigrees and expectations.
The Heisman Trophy winner out of traditional West Coast superpower Southern Cal, Bush was one of the most celebrated and decorated players in college football history and the Saints gleefully selected him with the second overall pick in that year’s NFL Draft.
Colston, meanwhile, was a complete unknown out of Hofstra, a tiny FCS school with such a meager football profile it disbanded the program in 2009. When the Saints called Colston’s name with the fourth-to-last pick in the 255-player draft, even hard-core fans were wondering “Who Dat?”
Despite their disparate paths, Bush and Colston each enjoyed spectacularly successful careers in New Orleans and left the Saints as Super Bowl champions and beloved heroes.
And 13 years after they arrived as bookend members of the famed 2006 draft class, the pair of offensive playmakers will enter the Saints Hall of Fame together this fall as members of the Hall’s Class of 2019.
“I’m just truly humbled to be on this stage and to be a part of this Hall of Fame with so many other great players,” Colston said before an overflow crowd at the Saints training facility that included, among others, Saints owner Gayle Benson and assistant coaches Pete Carmichael and Curtis Johnson. “When you come into the league as a seventh-round pick something like this isn’t really on your radar.”
Former Gov. Kathleen Blanco joined the star-studded class as the recipient of the Joe Gemelli Fleur de Lis Award for her off-field contributions to the club, spearheading the post-Katrina renovation of the Superdome.
The induction ceremony for the Class of 2019 will take place during the weekend of Oct. 25-27, when the Saints play host to the Arizona Cardinals at the Superdome.
“This is extraordinary,” said Blanco, who is battling ocular melanoma, a rare form of incurable eye cancer. “I’m very proud to feel like I’m a family member of the Saints now.”
Colston and Bush were the bookend selections of Coach Sean Payton’s first draft class and formed the core of the club’s eventual Super Bowl championship team in 2009. The eight-man class featured six players that would enjoy 10-plus-year careers in the NFL: Bush; Colston; Roman Harper; Jahri Evans; Rob Ninkovich; and Zach Strief.
“That draft class became so necessary to achieve what we wanted to achieve,” Payton said. “They were the pillars essentially to what we were going to build.”
In 10 seasons with the Saints, Colston set club records for career receptions (711), yards (9,759) and touchdowns (72). His 28 100-yard receiving games are tied for first in club history. All 72 of his touchdowns came on passes from Drew Brees, making the duo the sixth-most prolific combination in scoring pass plays in NFL history.
“He had excellent hands,” Payton said of Colston. “The consistency. The professionalism. You knew exactly what you were going to get from him every day.”
Bush, meanwhile, was one of the most dynamic big-play threats in franchise history. During his five seasons with the Saints from 2006 to 2010, he recorded 4,982 all-purpose yards and scored 33 touchdowns. He rushed for 2,090 yards and 17 touchdowns and caught 294 passes for 2,142 yards and 12 touchdowns. He also returned five punts for touchdowns, including an 83-yarder to seal a 45-14 win against Arizona in the 2009 NFC divisional playoffs.
“That Super Bowl season was just an amazing run and an amazing time for the city,” Bush said. “New Orleans is home away from home for me. I couldn’t be happier to go into the Saints Hall of Fame with Colston.”
Blanco, 78, served as the state’s first and only female governor from 2004 to 2008. In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, she lobbied the state legislature to approve funding for repairs to the stadium and helped fast-track the construction process, allowing the team to return to its home stadium for the 2006 season. The lobby of the Mercedes-Benz Superdome was named in her honor during a Jan. 13 ceremony before the Saints’ NFC divisional playoff game against Philadelphia.
In 2011, Blanco was diagnosed with eye cancer that recently spread to her liver. She received hospice care in her Lafayette home in April but has felt well enough in recent weeks to start traveling again.
“This is a highlight of my life, the last thing that I would ever have imagined,” Blanco said. “This is quite a memory marker for us, for me and my family. I do have a lot of challenges ahead of me, but I’m going to plan to be here in October.”
