I love this ad. Really makes you think about the value of life and how we live it, doesn't it?
(I also love it how the Aussie version of the ad - shown here - is different to other versions. Noticably, "the common mayfly has a life expectancy of just one day. Does he give a damn? Nah, bugger that, he says!")
"If we made every moment in life count, like the mayfly, what a life that would be."
For once, Vodefone says something worth listening to.
Reminds me of a couple of quotes (I told you I'm a quote database!):
-"it's not the number of breaths you take, but the number of moments that take your breath away"
and
-"don't count your days away, but make your days count."

what a sweet commercial
I've never actually seen that add before @_@ It's really cute!
Hope life's treating ya well in Hawaii - I'm sure it is ;)
Nice ad. =) I don't know what the hell is Vodefone, but I liked the message.
Sadly, such lovely life-affirming quotes have no impact on the 140 million "untouchables" in India and others like them around the world.
School's out, just a girl! Real life starts now. I hope you make a difference :)
Why hello there "just a girl" (what exactly am I supposed to call you??) Guess who.... I must admit that I haven't watched your video, I'm just writing to say that I'm alive and I hope that Hawaii is going well for you.
You also might like to know that the new Robin Hood episode is up on youtube, albeit in about 6 pieces. Haven't watched it yet, but it looks good.
Oooh, very exciting, the rentals gave me a giant jigsaw of a Caravaggio for an early xmas pressie, which is very megaly cool of them (yes, you can stab me for being such a weirdo). And I believe that I have discovered the world's sexiest opera singer - Teddy Tahu Rhodes, check him out. He played Don Giovanni in Mozart's Don Giovanni (funny that) when I went to see it on Saturday. In the first scene, he came out of a window, down a ladder in nothing but knee-high boots and black leather spankie pants. That alone was worth the $80 ticket....
Anywho, I'll stop freaking out the natives now. Talk to me on skype sometime if you get the chance, remember I have no friends. Oh yes, haven't written anymore of the story just yet but maybe in a couple of days.

PS - we've got termites. Rather abominable. (100 Points!). Yes, that was just an excuse to say abominable (another 100 Points!). But we really do have termites. Bit inconvenient considering the circumstances.
Sorry, me again (the jigsaw freak). I forgot to add that I'm getting the chop. ha ha, that sounds very wrong. My hair, that is. Yep. On sunday, i'm getting it cut so it'll be about 3 inches long. Should be quite a change, to say the least.
in the meantime, i'm off to bed.

Just a girl! I have yet another exciting instalment to your comments. It is I - the jigsaw freak, back once again but this time with an identity. I am very sleep deprived and quite possibly insane at the moment but I'd love to hear from you.
MWAH!
