When you make a phone call that ends up in voice mail, do you actually listen to that message or do you assume you've dialed the correct number and leave a detailed message?

Just asking, because someone called the emergency pager last night and asked for Ron and Judy (or something) and then left a rambling message about getting together soon. I'm sorry, but when the outgoing message is "You've reached the after hours emergency pager for the Q Apartments. Please leave a brief message yadda, yadda, yadda..." you should figure out that it's not the right number.

This happens to me at home, too. Every once in a while I'll get this old guy saying "Hello? Hellooooo?" on my machine. Telemarketers, too, seem very confused and think the recording is an actual person. Several doctors' offices have called and left messages regarding little Cindy Lou's prescription.

I suppose I should change my outgoing message to be a generic, "Hi, you've reached 555-5555. Check the number you meant to call before you leave a message not intended for the occupant of this home, you bastards."

Hmm.

Is it just me, or is Scarlett Johansson looking less like a unique individual and more like everyone else?

1) A pigeon flew right into my head while I was out for a walk. Nasty creatures. I feel the need to be decontaminated.

2) I find it funny that someone who apparently has a problem with a neighbor disobeying a certain Please Pick Pet Poo Up law decided to spray paint "Obey Scoop Law!" on the sidewalk outside the perp's house. That screams vandalism to me. ;)

3) My Supernatural DVDs have shipped!

4) My Supernatural DVDs won't arrive until the 7th of Sept. :(

5) The head, how it hurts. I smell and taste chalk.

DirecTV

Does anyone have DirecTV or know anyone who does? Is it worth the money or a complete waste of effort?

I currently have Comcast digital cable, and their rates go up practically every month (it's friggin' ridiculous how much they charge). I have Qwest for phone and internet and if I bundle the TV, I think I'd pay about $10 more a month for all three services than I do for cable alone, at least for 15 months. After that, it might go up, but overall the rates look better. DSL is fine for me - I don't do anything all that important online, and even if it prohibits me from watching things like the outtakes from Psych, I don't care. I don't want to give Comcast another gazillion dollars a month for broadband.

Anyway. Anyone?

When spoiling a show while commenting in a thread, please put in space or make the text "invisible" (however that's done), not just I'm spoiling and here they are right away without giving you much of a chance to scroll without seeing them!

I'm just saying. :(
