The Lo Zone

A groovy place in cyberspace run by author Lolita Files. Come on in. Bring some Pepsi.

 
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. For as long as she lived, she had no idea there was anything sexual or seedy about being called "Lolita".
Lo Fun Fact #2
I love fried chicken and fabulous shoes (although obviously I can't eat fried chicken nearly as much as I'd like). If you ever want to get on my good side, send Popeye's or Church's (that's right, I said Church's) and a pair of Christian Louboutins.
Lo Fun Fact #3
Never show up unannounced or without a Pepsi. Better yet, how about not showing up at all?
Lo Fun Fact #4
I hate the telephone. Don't get mad if I don't call you or take a long time to return your calls. I don't call anyone. Don't call me asking why I don't call. Just don't call, okay? (Exception: I will happily take all calls related to business or to share fun/exciting/major news. I'm just not one for jawing on the phone just to be jawing.)
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. I'm always on my laptop and connected to the internet as I work and when IM's pop into my screen out of nowhere, they break my concentration and often startle the sh*t out of me in the process. So don't do it. 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 and a cat, all of whom I love to pieces. I had a bird (a Roller pigeon that I rescued in LA on New Year's Day in 2004) named B-Bird (what? that's a good name!) who passed away in February 2009, which broke my widdle heart in half. He loved me so, as I did him. If you meet me and ask me about my dogs and cat, we'll be instant friends, and if you ask about B-Bird, I'll probably hug you (unless you smell...wash first). If you meet me and ask me why the f*ck I have four five six dogs and a cat, see the above fun fact for how I will respond.
It's Apparently Quite Good Out Here For A Pimp

The Oscar nominations are in, and it was quite a thrill to see that the most excellent Terrence Dashon Howard received a Best Actor nod for his role as a pimptastic wannabe rapper in Hustle & Flow.


Plus he rocked it in Crash, where he played a beleaguered television director...

...and that was nominated for Best Picture as well.

So happy for Terrence. He's finally getting his due. He'd better get ready for that fat suit, 'cause it's about to be on!!!

    i'm glad to see that terrence howard got the nod for H&F, but his performance in CRASH was exceptional too. if he wins it would be one of the upsets of the night, considering many probably would give it phillip sey. hoffman for CAPOTE...which, is on the down low...another, sorta "gay" film, considering truman capote was known to be a homosexual. so, if BROKEBACK doesn't win anything and CAPOTE does win, is it still a "gay thing"?

    Love that squirt-tube idea, LBoogie!! That's pretty darn clever. And hey, I'm the one who came up with the Chawklit Nawlins, so y'all make sure I get proper credit for it when it starts appearing!!

    Though it would do my heart good to see my home boy Cleveland's Own T Howard to win the lil bronze fella , I dont think that america is just going to keep letting black folks walk away with the most prestigious award in acting ... thats why they have chosen to let the ushering in of " the new minority" .
    Yeah Gay is the Hollywood Now Way so it seems ... we had a fun run ( big ups to Jamie Halle Morgan and Denzel)

    and Lance and Lboogie are out of control with the mass marketing of ky and butt plugs
    sick fucking genius
