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 (preferably a Pepsi One). 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 fourfive six wonderful, slap-happy dogs, a bird (some kind of dove/pigeon mix I rescued), 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 fourfive six dogs, a bird, and a cat, see the above fun fact for how I will respond.
All Hail Barack Obama Oboner*!!!

Because the whole world got a hard-on watching him in Afghanistan yesterday, even the haters. How can you not be in awe of this man? (Especially after what we've had to deal with for the last eight years.) Enjoy this video---free of journalist commentary---of yesterday's tour. That awesome three-pointer is just icing on an already perfect chocolate cake.

*They called him "Oboner" on The Daily Show last night. Ain't it the truth!!!
Yesterday on the show Hardball when they were showing all the black soldiers around Obama, dumbass Chris Matthews said he didn't realize there were so many black people in the military. Who does he think fights these senseless wars, rich white folks? They avoid service any way they can. It's the poor of this country, minorities, and those who see the military as an opportunity to make some steady money, see the world, and maybe have a college education be paid for after they get out.
