I’m going to try a new format for week in review. Let me know if you like it.
Ah, the week after Valentine’s day means a lot for people. For love-bird couples it means spending less money; for singles it means a return to happiness after a momentary commercial induced lapse to depression. For cVillains, it meant waking up to Mas’ owner giving us the lowdown on how to order cocktails. While we are no strangers to food, we thought it appropriate to discuss the merits of eating meat and decided that no one really cares what you eat and everyone can have their own opinion. Boring, I know. The rest of the week was more exciting.
We publish the thoughts of a little birdie, who feared for herself and fellow kin at JPJ in the event of emergency. Apparently, they don’t know how to manage exits accordingly. Still no response from the JPJ team. Keeping in line with University related things, we also learned UVA pays for credit monitoring of former students whose personal data was hacked, you can watch Al-Jazeera at the Alderman library and Law students throw some wicked parties.
Meanwhile, Lilith shared an amazing road trip with you’all, while the boys dreamed of angelic lady friends. Speaking of dreamy experiences, the moon graced us with a total eclipse. We feared for a cloudy sky, but got lucky with a clear view. Check out Tom’s picture if you missed it.
We realized it was about time to narrow down our name choices for our mascot. Our little birdie will soon be named. It looks like Cecil, Scowly, Beezlebird and Nemesis are in the running for the final four name choices.
We talk about some of our favorite old-timer places, pray that construction happens quickly on the rumored steakhouse above Escafe. We also pray that 30% of us get better because we’ve had the flu!
As the week drew to an end, we spy on restaurant workers favorite hangouts, while at the same time fearing for a wicked ice storm. It proved to be a false alarm and the 2nd Armageddon was averted in ye old Charlottesville. We did create our own little Armageddon with cocoNUT’s hotly debated review of Boheme.
Maybe no one visited the peace palace, because that Boheme discussion got hot! As far as other restaurants go, we discovered the infamous Sarah will be bartending at Cassis. Is it the new scene? We shall see, but it seems like everywhere is doing late night with DJs these days. Between the bar revamp at Cassis and the potential DJ at ZOCALO, Charlottesville’s late night scene is ever growing.
As usual weekends get a little slow around here, but the Box did open and we heard from many of you about your first experiences. I have yet to write my review. Don’t forget to read about the SPCA! That’s all folks! Thanks for reading. Spring is almost here!

the infamous Sarah will be bartending at Cassis.
infamous? Am I gonna have to throw down with Thor and shove Mjolnir up his ass?
whoah, harsh vibe in the ville this morning. Seems we could use a belly laugh or two:
Sarah Silverman’s song/message to Jimmy Kimmel a few weeks back: linkypoo
Jimmy’s response last night: linkypootwo
I cried.

here are the videos for your cvillain enjoyment:
Oy that was my Monday morning giggle, thanks!
that was worth the wasted minutes….
CVillain roadtrip to Chattanooga!!
Because I can’t think of anywhere else to put it, and this thread seems dead:
Apparently, Georgia/Atlanta is out of water, and is trying to ‘annex’ water from Tenn., the mayor of Chattanooga issued the following proclamation (along with a truckload of water). If the whole town is this cool, I’ve gotta go.
linkypoo
PROCLAMATION
WHEREAS, it has come to pass that the heavens are shut up and a drought of Biblical proportions has been visited upon the Southern United States, and
WHEREAS, the parched and dry conditions have weighed heavily upon the State of Georgia and sorely afflicted those who inhabit the Great City of Atlanta, and
WHEREAS, the leaders of Georgia have assembled like the Children of Israel in the desert, grumbled among themselves and have begun to cast longing eyes toward the north, coveting their neighbor’s assets, and
WHEREAS, the lack of water has led some misguided souls to seek more potent refreshment or for other reasons has resulted in irrational and outrageous actions seeking to move a long established and peaceful boundary, and
WHEREAS, it is deemed better to light a candle than curse the darkness, and better to offer a cool, wet kiss of friendship rather than face a hot and angry legislator gone mad from thirst, and
WHEREAS, it is feared that if today they come for our river, tomorrow they might come for our Jack Daniels or George Dickel,
NOW THEREFORE, In the interest of brotherly love, peace, friendship, mutual prosperity, citywide self promotion, political grandstanding and all that
I Ron Littlefield, Mayor of the City of Chattanooga, Tennessee,
Do hereby Proclaim that Wednesday, February 27, 2008 shall be known as
“Give Our Georgia Friends a Drink Day”
a delicious week indeed.
