Day SixtySix of being Aflickionless...

After not rolling in the door till about 4.30am Maz never got to bed till almost 5.30am. So she slept all day...well till around 2pm.

Hell must of froze over this morning because Tina, Matt and the kids went to church. WTF? They never go to church, but somehow they were talked into go by Matt's dad.

Other than that nothing much to report on today.

With swine flu cases soaring in New Zealand and schools resuming tomorrow, health officials are advising teachers and students to stay home if they are sick. In New Zealand there are now 2255 confirmed cases of swine flu (Influenza A H1N1) and the virus has led to the deaths of 10 people.

An earthquake measuring 4.3 on the Richter scale shook Hawke's Bay about noon today. The quake was centred 40km south of Hastings, at a depth of 50km at 12.03pm, GNS science reported. It was felt in the Hawke's Bay.

Blue Chip co-founder Mark Bryers has racked up another debt - this time $11.2 million to Westpac. The High Court last week awarded summary judgment to Westpac NZ Ltd against Bryers after he guaranteed a company debt.

A man who was fatally hit by a car outside a hospital emergency department lay injured for nearly 24 minutes before an ambulance transported him inside. Ross Stuart Andrew, 54, was hit outside Waitakere Hospital in Henderson, West Auckland, just before 8.15am on July 9. He died in North Shore Hospital two days later. Police said Andrew was walking across the hospital's access road when he was hit by a car turning into the site. A witness called 111 and an ambulance was dispatched from central Auckland.

Celebrated Kiwi painter Frances Hodgkins has joined Beethoven, Hemingway and Rembrandt - by having a crater on Mercury named after her. The Hodgkins crater is among 16 discovered by Nasa's Messenger spacecraft last October. All such landforms on the closest planet to the sun are named after dead artists, authors and musicians. The names are suggested by members of the Messenger team, the public and the International Astronomical Union.

A Kiwi flight attendant has been at the centre of an internet controversy while competing for a spot on the New York Knicks cheerleading squad. Melissa Rodriguez, 27, auditioned to become the 18th member of the Knicks City Dancers and made it to the final two. Fans were then asked to vote for their favourite. The winner is due to be announced by the end of tomorrow. However organisers wiped all the votes for both contestants after allegations were made that Rodriguez was cheating, according to a fan site run by her brother. She was alleged to have told people how to set up an automatic vote for her on the site.

THINGS THAT MAKE YOU GO AWW...
The long-lost love who stole Hank Hartel's heart has been found. The 69-year-old Australian was searching for New Zealander Jan Grace, whom he met on a ship from England in 1965.
Hank was thrilled to learn Jan contacted the Herald on Sunday after his story appeared last week. "It's beautiful," he said. "It'll be nice just to be able to send her an email." Jan, who has been happily married for 40 years and has two adult children and four grandchildren, said she remembered Hartel well. "A lovely, sincere, handsome young man with a good sense of humour,"she said. "We shared a lot of fun and good times until he left the ship in Melbourne to start his new life in Australia."

Day SixtyFour of being Aflickionless...

Maz has the beginning of kiddie plague. Completely not cool seeings as we are so close to the body art awards. Frickin kids and their damn germs! Other than feeling the effects of kiddie plague and being completely sick of hearing kids yelling, jumping, screaming and crying, Maz did some more sculpting today of little wee things that will become pendants, while watching "Confessions of a Shopaholic" this evening.

Russell is working at Minx tomorrow night.

Police are warning Hawke's Bay motorists to expect delays after a house being towed on a trailer blew apart this morning. The incident occurred on State Highway 50a just south of Omahu Road.

A southern right whale and its calf are attracting lots of attention in Waiwera, north of Auckland. The whales have been in the area for about a week and are quite close to shore, but conservators say there are no fears about beaching.

Southlanders are being urged to prepare for a civil emergency as strong aftershocks continued to rock the southern region today, following Wednesday night's 7.8 earthquake. Four tremors measuring over five on Richter magnitude hit the area this morning . The first, measuring 5.3 in strength jolted Southland residents at 4.13am. It was centred 120km west of Tuatapere and was 30km deep.

Day Thirty of being Aflickionless...

Maz has done nothing productive all day, besides making a video for today's blog. Yay! Down side of making a video is waiting for it to upload...and come on we know Maz has no patience. I suppose I was a little productive today, I mean I did Tina's make-up...does that count?



Maz currently has a lot of ideas floating around in her head, and seeings as she isn't going out tonight she will probably work them out...or she will end up watching a DVD.

We have received word that we should be expecting to hear about a whole lot of JayJay fail sometime in the near future...see what happens when your away for more than a day.

Amplitude is on this evening, but seeings as Maz is Sneezey Mc Sneeze Sneeze she isn't going anywhere. Matt & Tina are going out however (it's their wedding anniversary this weekend), which means that Russell & Maz have the house to themselves. Did you know Maz hasn't been out since Frantic? Shocking huh?

Another cold snap is on the way for New Zealand with snow to low levels and extremely low temperatures, says WeatherWatch.co.nz. A southerly is expected to arrive on Sunday in the deep south reaching Auckland by Tuesday.

Pioneering New Zealand rock musician Chris Knox is in Auckland hospital after suffering a stroke on Thursday.

A 22-year-old man died at the scene of a two-car collision early today on Auckland's Upper Harbour motorway. Police said the crash happened soon after 1am near the Greenhithe Bridge. (that's like the 3rd serious crash they have had there since the "new" section of motorway opened).

Five of the eight people accused of manslaughter over the drowning of a mother-of-two during a ceremony to lift a curse were found guilty late last night.

Day TwentyNine of being Aflickionless...

Now I'm up to date with the blogs (sorry for being so slack). Today has been another day of sorting and unpacking for Maz, and also a day of looking after Russell as he is a bit worse for wear after the move.



Maz is still sneezing like a mofo, hopefully it will be all over with soon. She also brought a new dress today...oOo...

A section of State Highway 25 through Waihi is closed due to a large hole in the road. Land Transport Agency says the hole is the size of a ute and is between 1.5-2 metres deep.

A New Zealand Air Force Orion has been hit by lightning off the coast of Canada. Wing Commander Nick Olney said the plane was taking part in a joint "exercise" and was carrying 16 people when lightening struck on Monday afternoon (NZ time). He said no one was injured.

One of Auckland's busiest thoroughfares, Ponsonby Rd, may be converted into a reduced-speed zone. Auckland City's transport committee yesterday agreed to put a proposed limit of 40km/h for the 1.5km length of the road up for public consultation.

Waikato Hospital is urging people with minor illnesses to stay away after 12 of its patients and a staff member contracted the highly-contagious norovirus.

Auckland is officially one of the nicest places to live on the planet, says an international survey. The City of Sails has been ranked the 12th best city to live in, in the Economist intelligence unit's liveability survey. Wellington is ranked 23rd. (haha shame)

The number of confirmed cases of swine flu in NZ stands at 27.

Day TwentySeven of being Aflickionless...

So I will admit to back dating the following two blogs (Day 27 and Day 28), I would of written them on the days but access to the internet was zip.

The final day on set and wow what a boring one it was. Maz was due on set at 6.45am, but none of the extras were used till about 5pm. We all spent the day sitting around talking shit, drinking coffee & tea, sleeping and eating. Hard job huh?
The most awesome part of the day (and possibly the whole shoot) was being showered in blood. Woohoo!



However as awesome as it has been working on this set, the downside is that Maz now has a cold thanks to wearing not much clothing all day and being really cold on set every day.

AUCKLAND FORECAST TODAY
wet!

OH HAI!


CURRENT WEIRDNESS
Being paid to sit on your ass all day and talk shit!
