As typical for a cVillain week, things got rather spicy. Last week was about banning things (trans fat, bumper nuts and bags) before Armageddon hit. Between our new mascot and the discussion about platonic boy/girl friendships, it was one of our most diverse weeks yet.

The C-Ville just did some changes for a new publishing year. I’m happy.
Changes Summarized:
Stapled the Pages Together (THANK GOD)
News, Arts, Living: The 3 Sections
Bigger Font (if you add a wine section, you gotta appeal to the grey hairs so they can read it)
Do you like the changes?

I enjoyed the C-VILLE’s review of Live Arts’ A Little Night Music. Has anyone been? I’d like to hear more reviews!

I figured out that referencing NY Times Magazine articles and fussing over risotto recipes wen’t winning me any more popularity around here [than when I tied with BusRider for “favorite writer” in our readers poll], so here’s the cynical Lilith you know and tolerate. And yes, I did vote for myself, as a matter of fact. Do you think less of me? Oh you’re about to. I have a conscience, FYI, and it’s barely okay with… »Read More

Am I the only one who saw the very last “rant” in the C’ville?
“Do you know why you should paint your canoe black? ‘Cause then it won’t tip.” (Bolding courtesy of C’ville) I’d link to it but they don’t put the Rant online.
To be fair, I had to explain this to my Canadian husband, who thought it was a joke he just didn’t get. But please, you put H—— T——– or G—– for a grocery store and let this slide????

You can imagine where it goes from here… He fixes the cable? Oh, yes C-Ville.
Sometimes you have to wonder, if cVillain talked about sex would we have more readers (maybe NSFW)?

If you want more sex gossip, we can post it on here. The only problem is that we don’t want to make accusations, hurt feelings, or… get sued.
Nell, thanks for putting us in “Talk of the town.” We love you.

Lilith wanted a Rufus Wainright review a few days ago. Well, despite our bouts with The C-Ville Weekly, they do a good Rufus review. Our favorite lines are:
Wainwright’s mix of the operatic with the theatrical (costumes ranged from seersucker suit with glittery god-knows-what to Austrian mountain man to Judy Garland in Summer Stock, complete with boxy tuxedo jacket, fedora and stockings) surely earned him new throngs. Fronting a band that resembled what Barnum and Bailey clowns might look like while intoxicated (notably the french horn and trumpet players, who dappled each song with gorgeously muted harmonies), Wainwright piled showmanship higher than his well-kept black coiffure.
Enjoy.
