    @ of padded rooms.

    i just read a great new novel set in cville that has a bunch of scenes in the old insane asylum on the hill across from Piedmont. It sounds really spooky and very cool. Anyone ever been in there? i seem to recall that a young grad/professor at UVA took an English class in there (jumping the fence) and that UVA, which owns the place, found out about it and fired the faculty member then filed charges for trespassing and B&E against the students (charges dropped).

    is it hard to get in there now, anyone know? just how illegal IS it? it sounds like fun and I’d like to:

    1) play Ghost Hunters one night and see if there are spooks in there.

    2) take a bunch of artsy snapshots of decaying shit and put them on my website with half-ass copyright statements so that Cvillain can use them and i can then make an ass of myself by filing a frivolous and childish lawsuit against the hand that feeds me.

    @49, I was actually on a second date (they do happen) and after one too many glasses of Aventinus we decided it would be a great idea to try to go in there. I got about ten feet inside the gate, freaked out, and bolted. About twenty minutes later we were laying in the grass groping each other awkwardly in front of the inn down the road. Adrenaline is HOT.

    Back around 2003-4, before the gate went up, I basically just drove around the barrier and drove up and parked there. Then I proceeded to explore all the seriously cool rooms and rotting equipment for the next couple hours. It was incredibly cool. I always wanted to get in there again with my D50, but I think its harder to get in now. I dont know why they keep it so locked off, nor if one could get permission to do photos there, but it has to be the coolest location in all of central virginia for the kind of photos I like to take. By far.

    i was watching Family Guy (a demotic animated cartoon on teevee) last night. There is a fat kid, i do not like the fat kid thinking he detracts from the show, who is tormented by ‘an Evil Monkey that lives in his closet’. This evil monkey is almost as cool as our scowling mascot. I was much moved by the back-story to the evil monkey’s temperament. While I did not myself identify with the Evil Monkey, I saw many parallels between him and several of our regular contributors. If the analogy holds, I am sorry for their pain-n-loss.

    Hey I need some help, this is a good forum for it, I suppose. So for those of you who don’t know, I’m a big supporter of the National MS Society and I work there during the day. March 28th is the Charlottesville Walk MS event and I am having a team, but I can’t think of a team name (somehow, I don’t think Team uva non-douche be quite appropriate). Any suggestions?

    I formally and publicly declare my girl crush on Anne Hathaway.

    Burly lightning god, has anyone suggested a new FFA yet? May I present FFA XXVIII: Life’s Not All Beer And Skittles…Unless You’re A Cvillain? I think it would pertain to many a regular here.

    /a bit too poor to be at a bar at the moment, so miller lite and pokerstars.net for me…

    Impressive, hunh? I read that many kindergarten classes in California (it’s native and ‘wild’ there) keep them in the classroom for little girls and boys to hold and play with.
