| Lo Fun Fact #1 |
| "Lolita Files" is my real name. It is not a pen name, as incredible as that may seem. There are plenty of Files family members and people who have known me for years capable of validating this. As for the "Lolita" part, my mother named me after the movie based on Nabokov's book, although she saw or read neither. To this day, she has no idea what a "Lolita" is. |
| Lo Fun Fact #2 |
| I love fried chicken and fabulous shoes. If you ever want to get on my good side, send Popeye's or Mr. Chicken (my favorite spot in Cleveland) and a pair of
Christian Louboutins. |
| Lo Fun Fact #3 |
| Never show up unannounced or without a Pepsi (preferably Pepsi Jazz Caramel Cream). Better yet, how about not show up at all? |
| Lo Fun Fact #4 |
| I hate the telephone. Don't get mad if I don't call you. I don't call anyone. Don't call me asking why I don't call. Just don't call, okay? |
| Lo Fun Fact #5 |
| I love the internet!!! I love communicating through the internet!!! You can e-mail me and odds are I'll e-mail you right back (if I'm not in the middle of a major project). Makes up for my hangup about the phone, doesn't it? See, I'm not so bad after all!!! |
| Lo Fun Fact #6 |
| I can't stand IMing. Please don't IM me. You will get the cold shoulder. I don't like giving people the cold shoulder, so please don't put me in that position. |
| Lo Fun Fact #7 |
I have four five six wonderful, slap-happy dogs, a bird (some kind of dove/pigeon mix), and a cat, all of whom I love to pieces. If you meet me and ask me about my dogs, bird, and cat, we'll be instant friends. If you meet me and ask me why the f*ck I have four five six dogs, a bird, and a cat, see the above fun fact for how I will respond. |

| Pass The Chronic(les) |
| Thursday, December 29, 2005 |
I know I'm probably the last person in cyberspace to talk about this, but that was by design. I've been purposely saving this for a slow news day like today. None of the bloggers have any juice left, it's a drought now for all of us, and everyone else shot their wads with this when it first happened. But not me!!! I'm a wad-saver. I don't bust nuts unless I have to.
So now I'm finally busting my Chronic(les) nut. Yup. I'm the one in the room with the big fat blunt when everyone else is reduced to trying to get a pull off a tiny-ass roach. Puff, puff, what, bitches? I don't think so.
 For those of you who didn't catch this wild slice of comedy magic on Saturday Night Live a couple of weeks ago, it was THE FUNNIEST thing I saw on SNL all year. Heck, maybe even in a few years. Cast member Chris Parnell and newbie Andy Samberg busted out with a video called "Lazy Sunday" (it's official name) that, uh, 'chronicled'---Beastie Boys-style---their adventures in idle nothingness as they ate and talked shit while making their way to the movie theater to see the blockbuster religio-fantasy film, The Chronicles of Narnia.
 This thing was sheer genius, the kind you hope to capture at least once in a lifetime, and I haven't stopped talking about it or chanting the hook since I saw it the Saturday night it aired. I Tivo'd it, so sometimes, just for shits and giggles, I watch it to get my Chronic(les) hit, or I just pull it up on the 'net. I bugged one of my friends about the video so much, constantly asking her if she'd seen it yet, that she finally pulled it up on her own Tivo (which had automatically recorded the show...don't you love it?), and now she's singing the Chronic(les) too. The piece has launched Samberg and Parnell into the internet stratosphere of runaway fame, with over a million downloads of the video the week after it first aired. SNL has now officially added it to their website.
The best part of the catchy rap song? The hook:
We love that Chronic(what?)cles of Narnia!!!
Pass that Chronic(what?)cles of Narnia!!!
If you haven't seen it, go here...
...or here to get your hit.
Just remember to honor the time-worn chronic(les) tradition of spreading the goodness: puff, puff, pass, bitches...puff, puff, pass!!!
