Day FiftySeven of being Aflickionless...

The halfway point looms ever closer! Only a few days to go before you hit it...I wonder how quickly time will go after halfway.

Maz had another productive day, this time making Doughnut pendants. YUM!!! (doughnuts not really eatable) and tonight she is going to pop into Ginger Minx with Tina & Russell. Should be good.

Tomorrow night Maz is body painting JayJay for Kinky Slinky. Exciting stuff, especially since Maz is going to try out a few new things. And don't worry there will be photos (possibly before anybody else sees).

Nearly 400 jobs at New Zealand Post Group have fallen victim to the recession. Acting group chief executive Sam Knowles said there had been 237 redundancies in the first half of this year, 86 jobs were lost through attrition, and 61 fixed term contracts not renewed. Not all the news was bad, with 90 new jobs created.

Police have arrested a male cross-dresser after two bank robberies in Manawatu. The man and a woman were stopped in a car by police in central Palmerston North soon after a Kiwibank was robbed about noon yesterday. The man, wearing a skirt and high-heeled boots, made off with about $800, police said.

Organisers of the annual Starlight Symphony concert in Auckland may have been thrown a lifeline. The concert, one of the city's most popular events, faces being axed after its major sponsor, SkyCity, announced it was pulling out. But sponsorship broker Murray Stott - managing director of Database Publishing - told the Herald he was willing to step in to help save the event.

All New Zealanders can get a free flu jab as the Ministry of Health moves to ease pressure on struggling medical centres and hospitals. Eligibility for a free seasonal influenza vaccine has been extended to all New Zealanders, not just those with underlying health problems. It is available from general practices from now until the end of September. The vaccine would not protect individuals from swine flu.

It has been touted as a successful treatment for everything from insomnia and depression to Parkinson's disease and multiple sclerosis. Should marijuana be legal in NZ on prescription only? (yes the debate is back on)

Day FourtyThree of being Aflickionless...

Who would of thought that in 2009 there would be a black man in The White House and one of the biggest entertainers of all time would kick the bucket...and so suddenly. I recieved the news by text just before 11am and I couldn't believe it, I thought it was a joke, so straight away I checked out online news sources and was shocked to see it was true.
I think it's one of those things that you will always remember where you were when you heard the news and always remember how you heard.
The jokes are already flying around too, but more on those later.

Maz had a fairly laid back day, nothing overly exciting. However she did update her Weta profile and applied for a Make-Up Tutor job at Cut Above. No hopes on it, purely because she knows how it goes there.
Maz can't get enough of Little Boots, she really should go out hunting for the album instead of just listening to the music on her Myspace page. Haha!

I'm gonna take you out tonight
I'm gonna make you feel alright
I don't have a lot of money
But we'll be fine
No I don't have a penny
But I'll show you a good time

Maz was hoping to go to National Anthems tomorrow night, she even put her name in early to do photos for it, but no. So looks like another weekend at home.

Update on the life of JayJay! She got home this evening just before the rain started, so no wet shirt show. JayJay spent last night in a hotel room with Nik and they didn't get it on...mainly because his friend was on the other bed, about a 1meter away from them.
JayJay is also over booked this weekend...so much to do, so little time. Also, Maz is editting a photo for jayjay of a chick flashing her

I totally forgot to mention in the blog the other day, Miss Amber Cadaver has a new tattoo (surprise, surprise). It isn't finished, only lined at the moment but man it looks awesome. She is so the "tattooed lady"...almost like crazy cat lady, but not as cool.

Phloss won a trip to Samoa in October from 91ZM's competition "The ZM World Tour".

HE JUST DIED BUT!
Plastic companies are bidding for Michael Jackson's body. They want to melt him down and make toys for little boys to play with.

It is said they are going to turn Michael Jackson into snowflakes for little boys to eat...and so he can come out of their ass one more time.

If Michael gets cremated will his ashes be black or white?

Thanks Phloss

Search and rescue dogs have been brought in to find a person trapped under a collapsed house which has claimed two lives in south Auckland. The men were killed when a digger knocked the house they were working on off its foundations at Manurewa Marae this afternoon.

The Warehouse is offering online shopping, starting with books, DVDs, CDs, gaming software and gift cards. The discount retailer also intends to soon sell jewellery and electronics online.

A Westport couple are selling their six-bedroom historical home on Trade Me - under the beds category - with a reserve of $1.

It was listed as a queen sized bed with a free grand old home and guesthouse attached.
