| 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. |

| Happy Days, Happy Dogs. |
| Monday, October 22, 2007 |
This past Saturday I "discovered" (read, "was finally exposed to") a lovely place called Euclid Beach. It was beautiful. The wind was high, we walked along the shore, I got my shoes wet, picked up rocks and gorgeous pieces of driftwood, and was immediately put into a state of bliss.
I've since learned that it used to be a very popular spot, complete with an amusement park, modeled after Coney Island.
 Anyway, I loved it so much, I wanted to go back again yesterday to write (places like this are great for getting my creativity flowing), this time with the dogs in tow (they allow pets on leash!). We decided to make a picnic of it. We seasoned up some meat, I made some side dishes, packed up the laptop and the pups, bought a fresh baguette on the way, and headed out. We had the big pavilion all to ourselves, so we grilled the meat, I wrote, and the dogs chilled. When all was ready, we ate a great dinner under a beautiful sky with the perfect breeze. Then we packed everything up, put it in the car, then took the dogs for a nice long walk. They were practically rock stars, as every passerby and others with their pets stopped to admire our herd furry family.
 It was a great start to what I'm sure will be a great week. Happy days, happy days.
