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.
Behold, A Child Reptile Shall Be Born.

Hail Flora, full of lizards?

Scientists report of two cases where female Komodo dragons have produced offspring without male contact.

Tests revealed their eggs had developed without being fertilised by sperm - a process called parthenogenesis, the team wrote in the journal Nature.

One of the reptiles, Flora, a resident of Chester Zoo in the UK, is awaiting her clutch of eight eggs to hatch, with a due-date estimated around Christmas.

Hmmm. Immaculate conception. Due date is Christmas.

If three wise men show up, I'm gonna start to get realllllll suspicious.

And scared.

    Lo, isn't this a form of history repeating itself? Didn't John Laroche (in Adaptation) speak about asexual plants, etc. that reproduced without being polinated? See I am a good student.

    Well, the way women are becoming more and more independent they won't need men before too long. Whether literally or figuratively I can see it happening. I remember when I was a kid seeing in a restroom bathroom something called "pussy in a cup" and Lo just shared "dick in a box."

    Doesn't the male seahorse carry the babies?

    Funny Juan, I was just thinking the same thing as I watched 'Raymond' last night. A commercial for a new TBS series titled, "My Boys" came on and I was simply befuddled. Let me get this straight, five guys are best buddies with one girl that none of them wants to screw. Who in the hell wrote this show? This kind of thing does not exist in the real world. And then I thought, my God, what is really happening to men in this country? Have we been neutered here? Seriously, five guys want to hang out with a hot girl and talk about the trials and tribulations in her love life without the prospect of, at the very least, a tittie grab? Huh?

    Matt, I thought the same thing. The entire premise for that show is a fallacy.

    Didn't someone just write a book about how women don't need men anymore? I forget the title...

    And, yes, Juan, the male seahorse DOES carry the babies.

    The book is called "Are Men Necessary? When Sexes Collide," by Maureen Dowd.

    I haven't read it, but I know it caused quite an uproar in my little town.

    Interesting, I actually thought I got "My Boys." I suppose because I had a cousin who had lots of male friends who were just friends. Actually for many years everyone assumed her to be a lesbian but she just enjoyed things that guys enjoyed. I think with her one or two may have tried to "hit it" but she was like "I don't think so."

    But anyway one of them on the show is her brother and I get the impression they sort of treat her like one of the boys because she's a sports writer who covers the Cubs hence all the baseball team references.

    Most of her love life stuff is in voice over and most of the time they are ragging her about whoever she is dating. But I think the real deal is she has the best poker parties and they use her as a place to hang. There is one character who rooms with her and he just proposed to the girl who he has an on again off again relationship with. The girl said no so the dynamics of the group doesn't change.

    But Matt I agree to an extent that what was once known as "male" -- masculine -- has definitely changed. I think there is a piece on Nightline tonight about role reversals in marriages.

    I recall a time when hearing a girl say she just 'wanted to be friends' was a death blow. Now we want to hang out and wear each others panties. I also miss the days before cell phones so that tells you where I stand...

    c'mon matt...

    men don't wear panties...
    ...we wear DRAWS!!!!

    in this hetero, metrosexual age...REAL MEN need to stop ackin' like PUSSIES, and grab their nuts and say "FUCK IT, WHERE'S THE BEER?!!!!"

    ....and if you women wanna have your "own" baby by test tube, swallowin' watermelon seeds or otherwise (as long as it's not by another "daddy long stroke"...that I GOTTA PAY FOR....GO FOR IT!!!!!

    (;-P <=== the lanceMAN has spoken!

    On the real, though, it seems like there are a lot more Mama's Boys out there.

    Matt--I call my cell phone my electronic leash. I miss the days where no one knew where I was or what I was doing.

    Girly Girl, I'm with you on that cell phone thing. It's like paying for your own CELL.
