The other question is when did you first here Jeff Buckley's "Hallelujah" as part of mood music as opposed to as part of a CD you were listening to?
Right after 9/11, VH-1 put together a video with that song over footage of the wreckage and rescue workers and stuff, and it was part of a set of maybe 20 or so "uplifting" videos that they played pretty much constantly for a few days. It seemed like the use in other TV shows and movies really jumped after that.
Pretty sure it was ER.
My cats continue to be helpful. Pumpkin emptied a pot of water all over the stove and floor. It needed cleaning anyway?

Outing myself as not a huge Cohen fan, because I honestly think it was Shrek.
Random question: When was the last time you used a phone book to look up a person's number? (i.e not a business, and a real dead-tree phone book.)
I honestly can't remember. 10 years? 15?
A person? Can't even remember. A business more recently but I complained that a business was actually unfindable on the internet.
Past 7, no sign of the CL people. I have a table in my garage, I haven't eaten dinner yet, and I'm irritated.
Unless you are charging an amount that makes it worthwhile, forget them.
A person? I have no idea. We do still get phone books delivered , though, which honestly irritates me.
Yes, we left them a message saying "Uh, never mind on that," and called the next person on the list. Who didn't pick up the phone.
This Christmas at my parents' house, because I couldn't get in touch with a friend via fb or her mobile phone. But she wasn't listed, so it was a failed attempt. She did finally call me back later. Before that? No idea.

Yeah, there are a bunch of new phone books in the entryway of my appt. building. I decided not to take one because I never use phone books anymore.
I did use the yellow pages fairly often until about 5 years ago.
I've used the yellow pages, too, and I've always liked the civic listings in the front, for police and fire and all that. But those numbers rarely change, so I don't really need a new phonebook every year.
