Last spring, I posted the first of four voicemails received by another lucky object of Karen Freeman’s attention, but with the busy summer of moving and getting settled here in L.A., I never posted any of the others. Now that I’ve got a moment, and as I’m no longer on her list of people to […]

Aimee was a TiVo devotee (TiVotee?) long before we started dating, and the TiVo came with her when we got married and pooled our AV equipment. And everything else. Anyway, the original TiVo from her Brookline days began dying in Rochester, starting with a pause or a skip here and there, eventually making it so […]

The amazing Karen Freeman, whose work I have chronicled here over the past few years, used to leave bizarre, incoherent and intense voicemails on my work telephone. After I left work, I could no longer check if she was still actively calling, but back in March, I received an email from a gentleman named David, […]

Ah, the end of an era. It’s my last day at work today, and I am pleased to present the last message in a series from Ms. Karen Freeman. This is the second of two I received while away from work for a few weeks; the caller obviously possessed the determination necessary to listen to […]

After returning from the wedding and honeymoon, I had just five days of work left, time I would spend cleaning up the office, tying up loose ends, getting down on paper what it is I do all day to help with the transition. Little did I know I’d be blessed with two more messages from […]

The weekend we’ve been waiting for has finally come and gone, and what a weekend it was… Friends and family came from all over the world to celebrate with Aimee and me in Newport as we got married on July 9th. I came down on Wednesday night and stayed at Aimee’s house while we got […]

Karen’s really on a roll here – so much so that she seems to have forgotten that she’s left almost this exact message with me before. She names almost all the same names, hits almost all the same points, as she does in the message she left a day prior to this one. I almost […]

All I have to say is “What about the B-52s?” If you’ve been following the saga of Karen Freeman’s whacked out voicemail messages, you know the Athens, Georgia rockers are Karen’s favorite members of the British Invasion. I know that doesn’t make any sense, but there you have it. She might have done her research […]

Every time I think I’ve heard the last of Karen Freeman, she surprises me with more voicemail messages. If you haven’t heard the first five messages, you can check them out here, though pretty soon, I might have to make a new category just for her. Tim, Mari, Aimee, and I were chatting about how […]

I now present the second of the two messages I received this weekend (re-visit the first one here) from my mystery caller, now the fifth message I’ve received from her on my work answering machine over the last year or so. I feel like she’s spinning her wheels a little, and seems to be having […]

I wonder if Karen Freeman has googled herself lately. If so, she’d find her amazing phone messages posted here, and she’d probably stop leaving me new ones. Let’s hope that doesn’t happen, though, because when I came into work this morning, I was rewarded with not one, but two new gems from her homegrown conspiracy […]

After receiving my first call from Karen Freeman, a few months went by and I figured it was a fluke, a wrong number, or a shot in the dark. Then one morning I checked my voicemail, and lo an behold, two messages had been left the night before, one left right after the other. This […]

I’m not sure why it’s taken me so long to get around to commenting on this; perhaps because it’s just too good, too weird, to be true. Over the past six or eight months, I’ve received three voicemail messages at work from the same person, calling from Naples, Florida. They’ve all been received after hours, […]
