| 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 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. |

| Check Out My Podcast On AOL Black Voices!!! |
| Wednesday, April 05, 2006 |
The debut podcast at AOL Black Voices' Books Channel Blog, "More Than Words," is up and running.
It features ME being interviewed by the very cool Ken Gibbs Jr. We discuss, among other things, my new book, Sex.Lies.Murder.Fame.
 I had great fun in the interview with Ken. He was so easy to talk to with that butter-smooth voice of his.
Click here to go to Ken's blog, More Than Words and listen to the podcast. If, for some reason, that doesn't work, try this url:
http://us.video.aol.com/video.index.adp?mode=1&pmmsid=1492560
And visit Ken's More Than Words blog on a regular basis. I think what Ken's going to be doing over there is brilliant. Great things are definitely ahead.
Funny aside: the interview was conducted by phone, and at one point, a couple of my dogs had a mini-squabble in the background---something they rarely ever do. They were fighting over a hot dog. (Yeah, it's like that around here...hot dogs hang from the furniture and fried chicken grows on trees. You'd fight too if you lived in my snack-filled sanctuary.) Anyway, you'll hear the dogs at some point. It's quick, but my poopers managed to make their presence known.

Lo, just listened to the cast. You give great "broadcast." The brother that conducted the interview was good too, I am not on AOL so I am so out of touch with everything but I was very impressed.
-
Thank you, Juan. And yeah, Ken was mad cool. He made it very easy for me to chat away. Did you hear my momentarily maniacal dogs?
-
Actually, I don't know if they "filtered" them out or if I was just so tuned in to what you guys were saying that I didn't hear them.
I turn thesis in tomorrow -- wish me luck.

***GOOD LUCK ON YOUR THESIS JUAN!!!!***
