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.
March On, Baby!!!
Monday, March 26, 2007
I must admit, I'm all caught up in March Madness, and, once again, this 6'11 puff-ponytailed super-talent continues to be a force to be reckoned with.

Joakim Noah, son of French former tennis pro, Yannick Noah...

...is a rock star in his own right, and, for the second year running, has lead my alma mater, the number-one seeded University of Florida, to the Final Four, and what I believe will ultimately be a consecutive national championship in basketball. (I won't even bring up how we also won the national championship in football this past January...

...as that would be in highly poor---and gloating---taste...

...which is certainly not my style.)

Noah could have arguably gone pro after last year's national victory, but he seems to be doing everything right. This kid has made college basketball totally exciting for me again.

I'm definitely looking forward to seeing what he's going to bring to the game once he does go pro. AFTER, of course...

...the Gators win the NCAA championship in men's basketball this year!!!

    I still don't like this post! Thought I would just drop by again to say that, LO!

    hey..i met a fan of yours and she's from Ohio...needless to say I dropped the bomb that you ripped on the Buckeyes. She was disappointed in one of her favorite authors...smile (true story)
