Little Miss Lobotomy’s
About the Magazine (mini Q & A with Ruth)
Q. What is the origin of the name “Little Miss Lobotomy”?: A. My partner’s last name is “Lobato.” Back when MYSPACE was big, he used the tag “Lobotomy,” making him Mr. Lobotomy. I, in recent years, took to using his old user moniker – it was appropriate. I wanted to change the way that people see things – I still want this. The name is apt. Q. Why are your cards silvery? A. Have you heard the phrase “Not all that glitters is gold.”? It means that not everything that looks valuable is valuable. Well, not everything that isn’t gold is invaluable. Silver, much like gold, is valuable. Sometimes a shiny glass bead can be a treasure, for example. Also, I prefer silver to gold. Q. Who does your graphics? A. I do. Q. Can we hang out? A. Sure. Follow the calendar on my website to attend events with me. Keep an eye out for standup comedy ticket sales. Q. What does this magazine contain? A. L.M.L.’s contains more writing & less photos than most popular publications. You’ll likely not find news pieces here, who knows, I might change my mind. There are plenty of those though, aren’t there? I think The Daily Show with Trevor Noah & Last Week Tonight with John Oliver are two great examples of good news sources (though neither is done in print). Q. How accurate is the information in this thing? A. Everything is fact checked. Mind you, just about everything is filtered through a lens skewed by how I or my team see the world. Q. Why are you writing about these things? A. I think they are neat, so they are worthwhile. Mind you, this is not because I think highly of myself, but because a lot of things hold no interest for me. If I find it interesting, I am sure other people will too – being part of fandoms has taught me this. Q. Who is your audience? A. I know there are people out there who are like me. This is for them. I know there are even more people out there that are not like me than those who are like me. This is for them as well. Q. What does that mean? A. Not everyone has the chance to go out and explore the city or expand on what they know, so why not have interesting things brought to their attention – from the comfort of their own choosing. Just because you can’t attend something or haven’t heard about something, doesn’t mean you don’t want to read about it. Q. How do I help the magazine keep going? A. Go to www.patreon.com/littlemisslobotmy , then click the "become a patron" button & Patreon will help you get set up (if you are not yet a patron). Q. I want more than some writing; will you make videos? A. I’d love to take you along on my little adventures. If you don’t mind low resolution stuff, check out my Instagram. To bring you better quality stuff, I’ll need to save up some money. Your patience would be appreciated, I’m working on it for you. Q. Can I help speed up the video process? A. Sure.

This is a screenshot from the MOCA website. You now have the information you need so you can plan a trip. The MOCA is the only contemporary museum in Los Angeles. MOCA receives very little, in government funding, and does not have a steady source of cash, leaving it to rely on donors to pay about 80% of the museum’s expenses. A tip for you, if you are uncomfortable when you make loud noise unintentionally in a public place, be sure to wear “quiet” shoes. I want you to enjoy a time out, not to run away before you get to enjoy the place. Check my website to see about joining the free monthly group outing. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE TO YOUR TRANSPORTATION, SNACKS, & PARKING COST. Little Miss Lobotomy’s

Etiquette Every issue includes a new tidbit about etiquette. No two months should be the same. Some will be short, some may require multiple pages. Etiquette a set of rules that cover all types of social interactions. What do you mean all type of social interactions? What do you mean rules? Well, for all social interactions, there are social rules. These rules cover the proper way to speak – be it at work, on the phone, in school, or elsewhere – how to behave, how to ask for help, how to shop in a store, and anything else that requires you to interact with anyone or anything. In other words, if there is a situation you can think of, there is a set way to behave that is construed as socially correct.
Etiquette : noun : et·i·quette pronounced: \ ˈe-ti-kət , -ˌket \ Definition: The conduct or procedure required by good breeding or prescribed by authority to be observed in social or official life. (Miriam Webster Dictionary) Example: It is rude to look over the shoulder of a person who is either reading or writing, but it is done every day. Synonyms: manner, form, mores, proprieties Q. How do you put gas in a vehicle? A. Follow the directions at the fuel station. Ask the attendant, if the directions are unclear. Q. How do you know what side of your vehicle is the side to refuel? A. Your car has a dashboard on which there is a fuel area with an arrow. Q. What is the difference between the 87, 89, & 93? A. If your car manufacturer requires premium, get it, otherwise, the other two are fine. Higher Octane prevents high compression engines from pre igniting fuel & damaging the motor.
87 is Unleaded 89 is Plus Unleaded 93 is Premium Unleaded Q. What is Diesel? A. Diesel is a type of fuel. Diesel run vehicles compress air, then inject fuel. What happens if I accidentally put the wrong fuel in my vehicle? A. If you put diesel in instead of gas, get your car towed. Do not attempt to drive. If you know nothing about cars, do not attempt to syphon out the diesel yourself, have a mechanic do it. Explain to hem what happened. Not getting this fixed immediately will cause a multitude of damage to your vehicle because the wrong fuel will have circulated in the wrong way needed. Q. I pulled away with the gas nozzle, what now? A. Stop the vehicle, assess the damage, take photos, file a report, proceed form there. I accidentally damaged part of the gas station, now what? A. Stop the vehicle, assess the damage, take photos, file a report, proceed form there. While pulling away, I was in an accident, can I demand their camera footage? A. Stop the vehicle, assess the damage, take photos, exchange information, file a report, proceed form there. You are not entitled to video footage. Get a dash cam. [9]

Little Miss Lobotomy’s
Gossamer Daze By Ruth Noemi
As you’re aware, Little Miss Lobotomy’s has been on hiatus for longer than anticipated time. We were away working on a short film! We are excited to inform you that the short film was completed & an early edit draft was submitted to Sundance. Rejection pending. Filming was a novel experience. There’s much to be said about working with an almost non-existent budget with people who want to bring a vision to life through passion, sweat, anger, tears, long days, long nights, & determination. Too much to fit here, really, so I’ll keep this short. About the Film: Gossamer Daze is a 2018 American film written, directed, & produced by Ruth Noemi. The film stars Lika Miletic.
Actors Lika Meletic Mark White Donnie Rex Mario Mabe Hugo Sanchez
Orva Lefurgey is a young woman of mixed origins who was born & raised in Los Angeles by her Venezuelan mother & French father. Having invested her pocket money well, after graduating high school early, she has a lot of free time. A typical quiet morning quickly spirals into an anxiety fueled few days after receiving a voice mail from a stranger. Sarin, Orva’s cousin pops by, with his go bag, to lend quiet support. Days blur together as Orva struggles to pull herself from the depths of anger & despair that she finds herself in. Ditching out on an important social event to have a picnic at the drought touched Elysian Park can’t make things worse at this point.

In Los Angeles you are considered low income if you make $54,250 a year. Estimated rent (per month) can start at $600 & can be $3,000+ for a 1 bedroom. Add utilities, food, transportation cost (uber, lyft, metro, or private transport + insurance + gas + maintenance), & other bills you may have, to your rent, & your check starts to look pretty slim. If you have money to go out after that, then you’re in pretty good shape. Raising a baby can cost upwards of $10,000 a year (not including birth or medical costs). Children are a serious responsibility. Roo Roo the Clown approves this message.
