| 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. |

| Microsoft Presents...iPackaging!!! |
| Tuesday, March 07, 2006 |
I know I've given you guys two embedded videos in the past four days (can you tell I've learned how to do something new with my blog?), but I just HAD to put this video up. This is freakin' HILARIOUS. This is a spoof of what would happen if Microsoft got ahold of the iPod's packaging and tried to revamp and improve upon it. It's so typical of how Microsoft packages their products. Being a long-time Mac person who's accustomed to the simplicity of Apple's everything (and has been confounded more times than I can count by Microsoft's complicated ways), I was screaming with laughter as the video progressed. The music definitely heightened the hysterics.
Hopefully you get the same kick out of this that I did. Enjoy.

I admit it, I am "Bi" -- PC at work, MACsa at home. This was hilarious, Lo. Actually it wasn't until I saw a MAC package converted to a Microsoft package that I realized just how "crowded" and confusing their packing is. The sad part is there are entire departments who do what that video did -- from empty box to madness.

I'm "Bi" too, Juan...I've got a Mac laptop and a PC desktop, and I've operated that way for the past fifteen years (having both operating systems), so I've been keenly aware of the distinction between Microsoft and Apple products for a long time. That's why this video had me on the floor. All that package crowding just doesn't make any sense.
