What a busy day...maybe not as busy as you, The Jet Setter, but still busy.
At 9.30am this morning Maz & Russell had a house to view in Mount Albert. It was a nice 3 bedroom place (well 2.5 bedroom) and it was in Mount Albert, so that was a bonus but Russell felt it was a bit small. However we were interested.
A spot of shopping (both window & buying) was called for and Maz had to get a Starbucks (for some reason she felt like one & she hasn't had one in about a year or more).
The window shopping was in Diamond & Time. Not that Maz likes "store brought" jewelry, it amuses her to look and Russell wanted to have a nosey. I think Russell wishes that maybe they didn't go in there, because for the first time Miss "I Don't Do Diamonds" found a diamond ring she liked. It was a 2.08 carat solitaire for around $37,500 (a wee expensive isn't she?). And then when the lady in the store asked if Maz & Russell would like to try on anything, you should of seen how quickly Russell said "No!"...it was the funniest thing ever.
The "spot" of shopping which involved the spending of money resulted in Maz spending just over $200 in Amazon *gasp*. She brought Russell a new hoodie and Quicksilver polo shirt, and got a hooded puffer vest for herself (RPM). It was 50% off everything, so why not huh?
And after grabbing a Starbucks it was off to the second Style Pasifika rehearsal.
Style Pasifika rehearsal went well. Pretty straight forward, but was running on island time...haha. Maz got her passes for the event (the next rehearsal is at Vector, so we need them to get in) and rather than getting 3 like everybody else, she was able to get 4. Hehe...the bonus of being in her 4th year and have the same crew from a couple of years ago.
The PA for the body art section also gave Maz shit and asked if her model was drunk or hung over this year. She is known for having the drunk model...haha...even on show night! All class she is!!!
It was then off west to pick up lunch and hang at Dee's for a bit, before going to view a house in Glendene...and seriously the woman (Maz) has fallen in love. The house is relocated and has been done up nicely inside. Over the back & to the left of the property are some paddocks which have horses grazing in them. It's 3 bedroom (all doubles pretty much), separate bath & toilet, big laundry, nice size kitchen which is open plan with dinning area and lounge. Enough room for either a flatmate or to have visitors stay. See LOVE!!! It is planned that papers are being signed on Monday.
Back to Dee's. Then dinner at a Vietnamese place off Lincoln Road with Dee, Hez, Andy (Dee's coussie bro), Korey and his girlfriend. Yummy, yummy food. So a pretty full on day for the two of them, and tomorrow they have work on Outrageous Fortune. YAY!
NOW on to the news...

Television westie Tammy "Munter" Davis says this week's publicity of his drink-driving conviction made him "look like a dick". Television westie Tammy "Munter" Davis says this week's publicity of his drink-driving conviction made him "look like a dick". Davis received a $1600 fine and was disqualified from driving for a year and a day after recording a breath-alcohol reading of 798 micrograms, almost twice the legal limit of 400 micrograms. "There were reporters there and they reported what happened and it's made me look like a dick, and that's fine because what I did was stupid. I made a mistake, you know, no one was hurt. "What would you like to talk about? Would you like just to keep going? "Do you want just to keep reporting this 'cause it makes you feel good?" Davis said he was annoyed his full written statement - which he read to media after his appearance - had not been printed. "I gave them a statement and they didn't print it all. "You could have done that, you could have printed it - you could have printed my statement. You could have done something else that ... as far as I'm concerned it's finished. "What you've printed has done exactly what you wanted it to do which was show people that if you're a star you should act better, okay, and that's fine, okay. I don't agree with it. I think it was a little bit one-sided but hey you guys write the papers."
... Outside court Davis said he "deeply regretted" his action and was "embarrassed and disappointed by my behaviour. "I am fully aware that drink-driving is simply unacceptable under any circumstances. "I made an error in judgment and have been held accountable for it. "Not only have I let myself down but I have let down my family, my friends, my employers and fans. "I want to take this opportunity to publicly apologise to them and to thank them for their continued support."(GO YOU WESTIE...TELL THE MEDIA OFF!!! O.F HARD!!!)
Waterview residents fear dozens more homes may be lost than the hundreds already proposed for demolition to make way for a $1.4 billion surface-tunnel motorway. Tunnel or Nothing spokeswoman Margi Watson, one of about 15 residents who subjected the Transport Agency's board to a barrage of concerns at a meeting in the city yesterday, said she had counted 63 threatened homes in addition to the 365 already facing demolition. That count was based on a recommendation to Auckland City's transport committee from the council's urban design review team that the agency buy and remove a line of houses on the western side of Great North Rd because of the likely severe construction impact of a "cut and cover" tunnel under the road.
Young New Zealanders are postponing the usual commitments of adulthood, just like their international contemporaries in what has been called the "Peter Pan generation". A study has found that "Generation Y" Kiwis aged 20 to 24 are more likely to be still studying and living at home with their parents, and less likely to be working or living with partners, than preceding generations of young people born 10, 20 and 30 years earlier. Legal marriage has almost disappeared in the age group and religious affiliation has almost halved. But welfare dependence and sole parenting, which peaked when the previous "Generation X" reached adulthood amid record postwar unemployment between 1985 and 1999, have declined among today's youth as jobs again became easier to find in the first years of this century.
A cold and early winter has been replaced by an unusually warm and early spring, in a rare act of symmetry by the weather gods. Forecasters have confirmed what people and plants might already sensed - winter has disappeared long before the official first day of spring. Spring arrives on Tuesday, but already August looks likely to set records for heat. (that heat better be coming)
Max: 17°C
Min: 13°C (overnight)
Humidity: 90%
Often cloudy. Northeasterly breezes. (Translation: It was warmer today than it has been but it's still not hot enough for some of us)

How positive Maz is feeling...

JayJay ate sugar, after saying she was cutting down/not having any. FAIL!
