I honestly don’t even know what to say. This is not something that you even dream of because it doesn’t seem possible. I recorded some tracks in my house.

She heard it, asked if she could pitch it for licensing. The next thing I know, I’m being asked if I want to be in a Subaru commercial. I don’t own a TV, but saw it in my manager’s office right before it aired, and I had a feeling this was going to have some kind of impact on people.

Jill Shargaa
Jill Shargaa, comedian and designer, presents a talk to challenge her audience to reconsider the usage of the word “awesome”. She points out that we are no longer using it properly in the English language. Shargaa seeks to return the “awe” back into the word.
So when you use the word “awesome” to describe the most mundane of things, you’re taking away the very power of the word. This author says, “Snowy days or finding money in your pants is awesome.”
