IMHO, Julie Andrews is the second most fabulous person alive; I can't remember a day in my life when I haven't absolutely adored her. I was *so* tickled to come across this video this morning. It's not an ad for anything obvious and she's not even in it (only her voice) - it's just cool.
That last note, I've decided, is like the crescendo of my entire childhood (good, bad and ugly); it also reminds me of the dozens of times I've sat glued to the television set watching "The Sound of Music" and wishing that Julie Andrews was in my life (I could seriously write a book about my long-lived adoration of Julie Andrews).
But now - sitting here - I'm realizing that she sort of was in my life. My grandmother (first most fabulous) is like Julie Andrews in a lot of ways. The goodness and kindness; the impossibly cheery disposition; the ability to hit an effortless high C. There are many, many other similarities but, with this new revelation, I feel compelled to keep them to myself and relish them privately a bit longer.
Funny what a random viral video can evoke...I need a damn tissue.

You want an answer to the question "What is life all about?" This. This is why we're here. Awesomeness on buttered toast. I guarantee you if people spent more time on stunts like this, there would be pandemic peace, education, love and all that hippie stuff.
