Day OneHundredAndSix of being Aflickionless...

JayJay has a custom pair of bunny ear. If they are custom then that must mean they are JadedSphnix, and you would be right in thinking that. They have been made for Chemistry. So photos of them will go up tomorrow night. Maz is also going to make custom bunny ears & other animal ears to go with all the other custom stuff.

This afternoon Maz & Russell had to go look at a place on Rosebank Road, was nice but right at the intersection by Avondale Racetrack, so heaps of road noise. STINK! After that it was time to go to the first Style Pasifika rehearsal...one week to go. JayJay is lined up to be 4th on stage on the night. Exciting! oOo and one of the artists in the competition is one of Maz's former tutors.
After the Style Pasifika run through it was off to Ginger Minx for A drink...but hmmmm it turned into two for Maz. SJ also popped in to Minx, but missed Maz by that much...which isn't much. She walked in, as Maz, Russell & JayJay drove off. Very quite night at Minx...well it was at about 8.30pm.

A large earthquake in Wellington early this morning shook locals out of bed but there were no immediate reports of damage. The tremor, measuring 5.2 in magnitude, hit at 2.10am, GNS Science reported. It was centred 20km south of Wellington and was 30km deep. It was followed by a 4.3 aftershock at 3.52am.

Health authorities have lifted their warning on people going to beaches in the Hauraki Gulf. The Auckland Regional Public Health Service (ARPHS) lifted the warning today but recommended people take extra care. The warning was put in place last month after marine life and dogs were found dead at Narrowneck and Cheltenham beaches. Approximately 15 dogs from a wide geographic area within the Hauraki Gulf became unwell with symptoms consistent with tetrodotoxin (ttx) poisoning. Five of the dogs died.

QUESTION OF THE DAY...
Diagnostic Medlab has hired a film crew to interview patients emerging from the rooms of its rival, Labtests, and has threatened to release the footage if it finds undisclosed problems. A public health chief last night slammed the move as "desperate". Is switching from Diagnostic Medlab to Labtests Auckland a good idea?

SIDESWIPPING IT...
The Vegetarian Star reports that executive producer for The Simpsons, David Mirkin, says Paul McCartney agreed to appear on the cartoon only with certain conditions. "When I asked him to do the vegetarian episode, he agreed but made me promise to keep Lisa as a vegetarian - and I was happy to comply with that because I'm a vegetarian too. Every time I see him, he always checks - and he's always surrounded by nine or 10 lawyers, so it's quite frightening!

Sharon writes: "A colleague came into work a couple of weeks ago as mad as hell. She and her 16-year-old had a heated discussion on the way to dropping daughter off at school. Mother angrily declared 'you're grounded!' Daughter's comeback was great. 'You can't ground me! I've got a ranch slider and a bus pass!' ... daughter 1, mum 0."

TRAILER, TRAILER, TRAILER...
Interesting fact. All movies that come out have a website, pure and simple a .com, but Wolfman also has a .co.nz...how cool is that?

DAILY FOF MOMENT
Dave was about to walk out the door to dj at Degree and realised that Gabbie's g-string was hanging out of the back of his shoe. FAIL! Haha Imagine if he got all the way to Degree and didn't notice.

Day NintyFive of being Aflickionless...

Lets see...disco ball mirrors, glue and glitter. That pretty much sums up Maz's day, but unlike the last few days, there was no burning of fingers and no cuts recieved. This may be because Maz is gluing to the floor and hasn't peeled off todays work yet. Hmmmm...

Nikki brought a pair of shoes of Maz today for her little niece. She got the Outta Space kids low tops. Awesome...she is so going to have the coolest shoes ever!

This Saturday is the closing of Space. Yes the day has finally come for us to say "see you later". Maz will possibly be going to it...just to see if it was all worth it.

PHOTO MANIPULATION SNEAK PEEK...
Thought we would let you have a look that something else that Maz is working on. It is only it the very beginning stages, so who knows where it will end up.

Now...NORMALLY I would put the news up here...and I could possibly still do that, but right now I think it is time for some...

RANDOM PICTURES MAZ FOUND ONLINE

And now on with the news...well what little there is.

It must have been a fur-raising ride for Poppy the cat. The four-year-old was believed to have secretly hitched a ride in a car from her Levin home to Hunterville, 100km away, where her collar meant she avoided being shot by bird-loving farmer. Levin couple Kevin and Sandra Stent noticed Poppy was missing after a visit from some friends 3-1/2 weeks ago, but were assured no felines were stashed away in their car. Mrs Stent thought Poppy must have climbed up under the car and held on as it travelled through northern Manawatu and either fell off or jumped off somewhere near Hunterville. For the next three weeks she foraged for food and nursed her injuries until Waituna farmer David Guylee noticed her lurking around his neighbour's property. Mr Guylee said it was lucky Poppy was wearing a tag.

Cadbury has bowed to consumer pressure and agreed to stop using palm oil in its chocolate. The confectionery giant received hundreds of letters and emails of complaint after it revealed a new recipe substituted cocoa butter with vegetable fat, including palm oil. Palm oil has been linked with the clearing of native habitats in third world countries. Cadbury New Zealand Managing Director Matthew Oldham says recipes will now only use cocoa butter. He says Cadbury is "really sorry" and the change is a direct response to consumer feedback.

Experts have added a grim warning to the poison beach scare in Auckland, saying the toxin that killed dogs is deadly enough to paralyse humans in seconds and kill them within an hour. Test results have shown that tetrodotoxin, a poison found in puffer fish, is responsible for the deaths of two dogs, birds and sealife on Auckland beaches. The poison was found in the dead dogs' vomit and in a sea slug sample taken from Narrow Neck Beach on the North Shore. Further tests are being carried out to find out how the sea slug came to contain the poison. Touching a dead animal on the beach could be enough to endanger human life, said Cawthron Institute algae specialist Paul McNabb.

How fully dedicated Maz is to doing well at Style Pasifika this year. Talk about a lot of glue.

DAILY FOF MOMENT
Getting to the Flying Horse Takeaway's to find out they are closed, look at the clock and see it's almost 10pm. Wonder why they aren't open? Maz blames Russell. Fail!!!

Day NintyThree of being Aflickionless...

So this is the first time and possibly the last time that I am going to write this blog THIS fucked up (tipsy...we must remember Maz has control, almost ALL the time). So sorry for any typo's and anything else that may not make sense...and also for the fact that this is probably going to be very short lived.

Pretty laid back day really. Maz & Russell have a new DVD-Rom...YAY. After picking it up off a friend they decided to get a snack from Mc Donalds, and they are pretty sure that the patties are now "seasoned" (eg. contain pepper), so JayJay has been informed. It would be pretty bad if she died from McD's, ya know.

Russell worked at Ginger Minx this evening. It went off there tonight, nice and busy. Maz had no idea how many drinks and thinks that maybe she shouldn't of had that tiny bit of beer at the end of the night (Maz can't really do beer on a good night, so why lord why?). She is surprised your not online, but figures that you are on your way to Berlin...good times, good times!

CUPPA TEA? Sounds good. Sorts out the stomach after drinking...

Why did Maz subject herself to beer? She has the whole funny feeling cheek thing going on...not cool.

DAILY FOF MOMENT
Don't think there was one. Fail!!!

Day ThirtyOne of being Aflickionless...

Late Saturday night Maz's computer spat the dumbie. Naturally Maz was not impressed. So turned off the computer and went and watched a couple of movies ("The One" and "Pathology"). "The One" was pretty cool and was an enjoyable watch, not as good as I expected though. As for "Pathology" DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME. Yes there are some nice titties in it, but yeah pretty slack...although I should of guessed it would be with Milo Ventimiglia and Alyssa Milano in it.

We spent the day cleaning the computer and reinstalling windows (well Russell did). It's all runnng. ADSL light is on but nobody is home.

Day Eighteen of being Aflickionless...

Maz has been on set all day today, so is pretty out of touch with what is happening in the world. And tomorrow will be no different with a 5am start. Must say Spartacus is pretty easy on the eyes too...woot...ah my job is so hard.

Interesting thing Maz saw on the way to set this morning. As you know the Sky Tower is normally lit up one colour, but at the moment the top section is blue and changes to yellow.
They're a little more glamorous than the energy-efficient lightbulb the Government wanted you to put in your kitchen. But new, brighter lights on Auckland's tallest building promise to deliver a similar energy-saving benefit. The lightbulbs used to light up the Sky Tower in themed colours for special events have been replaced by 26 electronic lights on seven levels spaced around the tower. The new lights - which can be changed at the press of a button to display a theoretically infinite array of colours - will use about a third of the electricity the old lights used.

The past six weeks have been pretty tough for self-confessed oddball Ian Brackenbury Channell - aka the Wizard of New Zealand. After learning he was to be awarded a Queen's Service Medal for services to the community, the man famous for his theories on postmodern cosmology was told to shut up.

Hip-hop star Che Fu had a little chuckle when he saw the letter from the Governor-General and Prime Minister John Key addressed to "Mr Fu". The award-winning musician was thrilled to read he was being made a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit - but was on the phone quickly to ask if he could have the honour in his real name, Che Kuo Eruera Ness.

Three earthquakes shook the central North Island overnight. All three quakes were centred 10km south-west of Turangi, GNS Science reported.
The first, measuring 3.2 on the Richter scale, struck at a depth of 4km, at 11.08pm yesterday. Nearly 50 minutes later, a magnitude 3.4 quake, also centred at a depth of 4km, hit at 11.54pm. A third quake, centred at a depth of 6km and measuring 3.8, struck at 2.31am today. The quakes were reported to have been felt in the southern Taupo region .

What began like a bad joke about two Irishmen walking into a bar ended with the pair missing their flight home and being arrested for graffiting pub property - with their names and details. The two 27-year-old men were arrested on Saturday morning for allegedly defacing Queenstown's Pog Mahones Irish Bar with a permanent marker on Friday night.

Maz has to get up at 4am, that alone is a massive FAIL!

Day Twelve of being Aflickionless...

i thought that I would put today's one up early, I doubt anything exciting will happen between now and later tonight.

Maz picked up some more days work on Spartacus. This stage we have a total of 11days of work on it...woot!

Last night on chat I told you about the video for My House by Kids of 88. Paint Splatter...and well I leave the rest up to you to decide. Yes I have found it on YouTube for you to see.



AND also the trailer for the Sherlock Holmes movie. *giggle*
