| 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. |

| Brooklyn Is Mad Ghetto. |
| Friday, March 10, 2006 |
Hence her name.
 I just gave each of my four dogs (Brooklyn, Lola, Milo, and Toshi) a SweeTarts jelly bean---one apiece (hey, these things come at a premium, remember?). Three of them scarfed them down. Two of the three were satisfied with having one jelly bean. One of the four, Lola (I know, this is starting to sound like a word problem), sucked the candied outer shell off hers, half-chewed the jelly bean, then walked away. Brooklyn eyed the half-chewed jb, desperately wanting to cop it, but knew she faced a dilemma, having grown up with the rigid rules of sharing we practice in this house ("no taking anything from another dog without my permission first; said dog must no longer want what is being taken from him/her"). I wasn't sure Lola was finished with her half-chewed treat.
A call came in. I turned my back for half a second. I saw creeping out of the corner of my eye. I'm talking the kind people spend big bucks to train their dogs to do. Like maybe the dog works in tv or something and has skills like that. By the time I could react to what I was seeing, Brooklyn was eating the half-chewed jelly bean.
So ghetto.
 Gotta love her.

I love dogs (as long as they live with someone else) -- actually I feel the same way about kids but I can't find anyone to send mine to live with.
I don't think Brooklyn is ghetto at all. She's a bold bitch and goes for what she wants. Stealthily as it may have been she was not to be detered.
Lo, it seems even the "dog apple" don't fall far from the tree (wink, wink)

Oh, y'all got jokes, huh? Yeah, you're probably right. Brooklyn's a relentless won't-take-no kinda girl. I've always been that way. Nice to see Brooklyn's doing me proud. (Hey, does that make me ghetto?)

Alpha, Lo, but never ghetto

Ahh, we like that, Juan. Alpha female, yeah, that's me (although not in Omar Tyree's Alpha Male sense). And it's even more appropriate, seeing as I'm an AKA!!
