| 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 wonderful, slap-happy dogs and a bird (some kind of dove/pigeon mix), all of whom I love to pieces. If you meet me and ask me about my dogs and bird, we'll be instant friends. If you meet me and ask me why the f*ck I have four five dogs and a bird, see the above fun fact for how I will respond. |

| Dancing With The D-List (On Ice) |
| Thursday, January 19, 2006 |
Yet another one of those Something-with-the-Somethings shows that gives D-listers another shot at the limelight debuted last night. This time it was stars on ice, Skating with Celebrities, to be exact. The show was in the plum time slot following American Idol, so it should have done halfway decently. Or not.

It was actually kinda alright. Todd Bridges impressed the heck out of me, dancing with his partner to Will Smith's song Wild Wild West.
Todd had pretty good form. And "rhythm," as one of the (white) judges pointed out.
 Todd responded with Gary Coleman's trademark flabbergasted ghetto-black-boy-in-a-lily-white-world response, the infamous, "Whatchoo talkin' 'bout...?" A tiny piece of something deep inside of me that gave half a shit hoped this was not a harbinger of how he would be for the duration of his time on the show. If so, I'm seriously rooting for Todd to fall and bust his ass next week and get booted off, because, as much as I liked his performance last night, it would kill me to hear him utter that nonsense every week.
 Jillian Barberie and her partner did an excellent job, coming out on top of all the other pairs with the best score of the night. It was good to see Jillian moving gracefully across the ice instead of pop-locking to Snoop and Fiddy, as she is so wont to do first thing in the morning.
My favorite dance pair, however, was Nancy Kerrigan and the guy from Full House, Dave Coulier.
 They totally rocked, dancing and skating to the Blues Brothers' cover of Soul Man. Coulier apparently has experience playing ice hockey and it showed. They were fun and fantastic, and should have scored higher than Jillian and her partner, but didn't. There's always next week, when the show moves to Mondays, its regularly scheduled night. It's a pretty sure bet that Jillian will, at some point, be overtaken with the irresistible urge to pop-lock in the middle of a routine (she can't help herself)...
 ...which will momentarily screw her and her partner and make for uproarious television. Until she breaks into her wigger version of Candy Shop, at which point millions of residual Idol viewers who followed the show to its new night will immediately defect for the nearest CSI: Anything, even if it means they're an hour too early.
