| 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. 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. |

| The What-The-Fuckmania Continues - Breaking: Disney And Pixar Go From Regretful One Night Stand To Full-On Banging For Keeps |
| Tuesday, January 24, 2006 |
What do you get when you cross Mickey and Nemo?
 I don't know, but whatever it is, the wicked-cool genius that is Steve Jobs is laughing his ass off for having convinced them they could bang in the first place. And he got paid major loot for it.
Per Variety.com (all emphasis in the following is mine):Walt Disney and Pixar Animation Studios Tuesday unveiled a hotly anticipated merger that marks the end of Pixar's status as possibly the most successful independent film company ever, and promises a renaissance at Disney's animation division.
Disney will acquire Pixar in an all-stock transaction worth about $7.4 billion expected to be completed by this summer.
Terms call for 2.3 Disney shares to be issued for each outstanding share of Pixar.
As most deals do, it's likely to bring a degree of culture clash and a number of layoffs -- particularly in Disney's animation division.
[...]
Pixar chairman Steve Jobs will join Disney's board as a non-independent director. He owns 50.6% of Pixar and thus will become one of Disney's largest shareholders. $7.4 billion. One of Disney's largest shareholders. See, this is why I love Steve Jobs.
 Not only is he as smart as all get-out and Silicon Valley-cute---(you know that's a different kind of cute than regular cute...you make allowances and such because the guy usually comes with ten figures)---he's one of the shrewdest businessmen around. Expect the Mickey Nano to hit malls and Magic Kingdoms the world over in the next month or so.
 And then, the most exciting of all...
The Mickey Mac!!!
(Yeah, I know it's a Pixar merger and Apple's not involved, but come on. Do you REALLY think Steve Jobs would be connected to Disney and not use the relationship to Apple-ize it from top to bottom? Please.)
