Zillow’s “Susan” commercial featuring me, me, me, and an owl

If you’ve been at home Zillaxing (relaxing by scrolling through Zillow, hat tip: Laura Barnehama) and had the TV on, you might have seen this new, very funny, Zillow ad called “Susans.” Check it out then scroll down for more info…

The actress. All of Susan’s personalities are played by actress Molly Lloyd. Check out her IMDB page here and her Instagram is @MollySchmoyd. She is an actor, director, writer, and mom… and quite funny in this commercial. The happy reaction as Gullible Me is why I have watched this commercial over and over, along with the “bluh” from Lazy Me.

Also, do you recognize the voice in this Invisalign ad? Bonus points if you do!

Split personality. Let’s talk about all the sides we saw of Molly’s character, Susan. After entering the room, she addresses her following personalities: Negative Me, Spontaneous Me, Paranoid Me, Anti-Social Me, Lazy Me, Stressed Me, Helpful Me, and Gullible Me.

The team. Susan works at Susan, Susan & Susan, an amount of same names only rivaled by the John Morgan of Morgan & Morgan commercials, am I right? Susan lives in Atlanta with her husband, who appears at the end of the spot.

The crew. I count at least 30 women sitting at this very long desk, meaning Susan has over 30 different personality traits to balance.

Cup of Joe. Production even went to the lengths of making Susan, Susan & Susan mugs. You can find a completely different mug but still has the name Susan on it, on Amazon here.

I didn’t catch this the first time I watched but another Susan walks in late. This is probably “Always Late Me.” We can all relate to this one, no?

Anti-Social Me is reading Metromag, a magazine that we know for sure has pictures of owls in it. More specifically, this is a barn owl. Hooo hooo….

Credits. Production credits are as follows:

Director: Jim Jenkins

Agency: FIG

Edited by: MACKCUT

VFX: The Mill

Gosling photos – April 2021

One of my friends has a million geese in her neighborhood and babies have been hatching, adding more cuteness to the situation over there. I have posted about them before, but here are a few more photos from a gaggle of 7 geese, 5 of which are babies. Check out the second to the last image with one of the goslings looking up to the parent. Cuteness overload. Also, two of the goslings are noticeable smaller than the other three (see last picture) so I’m not sure what this means. There WAS a family of three goslings a few days ago, so maybe two babies joined them? That would explain the size difference. Either way, they are the cutest things, and also the nest near my friend’s apartment is still home to a few unborns. Updates when they hatch!

*NOTE: for music in episode 13 (airing 4/27/2021) click here*

**NOTE: Music from episode 14 (5/4/21) can be found here**

There weren’t many identifiable songs in Big Sky, episode 12 titled “No Better Than Dogs.” However, if you are wondering about the music you heard, I’ve got answers. Here is the list of music you may have heard in this episode. For episodes 10 and 11, click here.

Jerrie sings karaoke at a bar. The song is “Gasoline and Matches” by LeAnn Rimes.

Later in the episode, U.S. Marshal Mark Lindor mentions a Hall & Oates album, more specifically, “Private Eyes”. He then mentions the track “I Can’t Go For That.”

The album was released in 1981 with this song as a single in November 1981.

I Almost Dated A Woman Who Has 3 Cats

Everything was coming up roses until it was discovered she had not one cat, not two cats, but three whole cats! Can you even imagine? OK, OK, to be clear, I have nothing against cats or the people that love them. In fact, my neighbor has a cat and I kind of like her a lot.

But…

After I pet her I must wash my hands. Yep, I’m allergic. It takes about an hour and then my eyes water and itch and I’ll start sneezing. It’s not my favorite trait about myself.

In fact…

Right at this very meowment, I’m suffering from seasonal allergies (thanks a lot tree pollen!). This woman I almost dated, I enjoyed getting to know her. But as trivial as it may seem, cats are a deal breaker. I don’t think there’s any pill strong enough to make me try a cat-owner dating relationship. And no woman can kiss good enough, either, for that matter!

Meow, before I go any further…

I HAVE dated women with cats. It just doesn’t last long… ever. The situation was flipped once. I dated a woman who was allergic to dogs. I have two dogs. It was doomed from the beginning, wasn’t it? Have you ever willingly started a relationship like that? I’m not sure why I said “willingly” because “unwillingly” would be a whole other thing… or a plot line of “Big Sky” on ABC.

Canadian Goose Update

The adult geese that live near my friend’s apartment haven’t welcomed new babies (goslings) into the world yet, but the other day I rode my bike over to see if any eggs have cracked.

Not yet! But another family of geese (a gaggle?) were zig-zagging around the small lake and grassy embankments, so here are a few pictures of the cuteness they offered. The young ones are simply adorable.

I loved to watch the babies mimic the two parents; as they adults squatted down to nibble grass, so did the little ones.

They even sort of flapped their wings although I’m guessing they don’t know yet those wings will help them fly. Come to think of it, they don’t even know what flying is!

Updates to come, thanks for stopping by!
