| 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. |

| "Fish Don't Fry In The Kitchen... |
| Friday, August 29, 2008 |
"...beans don't burn on the grill. Took a whole lotta tr-ryin'..."
The fish certainly fried on stage last night, 'tho, because our man was hot has fish grease. He put it down. My heart was so full. As the offspring of southern parents who felt the deep brunt of Jim Crow and the fight for civil rights, this is big, huge, ginormous. America, America, God shed His grace on thee.
 Watch the speech again. This is truly the American promise, fulfilled.
 Ain't he handsome?
 Of course, that means cake, ice cream, and party hats for all the pups, and maybe I'll get to sneak some, too. Maybe.
Have a great holiday weekend, y'all!!!

| And Just For Shits and Giggles.. |

I saw this on The Daily Show about a month ago and I just couldn't stop laughing. I've been meaning to put it up ever since, but, as I'm sure you've guessed, I've been real, real busy. Anyway, talk about hitting the nail on the head. Mr. Sniffles, indeed!!!

| Making Herstory. |

Did you see it? Wasn't she amazing?
 Even if you fall on a different side of the fence in all of this, history is history, and last night, Michelle Obama made a whole lot of people proud. Say what you want, this was a first for a people, a nation, and the world. I am so very happy it happened in my lifetime. Her speech made me proud to be black, proud to be a woman, and, most importantly, proud to be an American. This truly is the land of opportunity.
Read the speech in its entirety HERE, and watch it again in the clip below. It's definitely worth a second (third, fourth, and more) look. This is one piece of history that bears repeating.
