I leave for a week again and come back to lovey dovey posts? What is going on here?! Must be the introduction of the newhttp://www.flickr.com/photos/walkering/2041758630/ LoveCVILLE site. While I must admit summer lovin couldn’t be more fun I will be leaving it out of this weekend’s preview. Although everything here would be more fun with two. Have a great weekend villains and try to be “safe” in whatever “activities” your weekend may bring.

The usual Friday - if you have tried one or any you should! Fridays After Five, Crush Wine Tasting, Market Street Wine Tasting, and Beer Run’s Wine Tasting.

Two fairs this weekend: The Rockingham County Fair and The Greene County Fair.

That’s all folks. Hopefully B yo will bless up with the DJ line-up for the weekend and as always checkout MUSE and Style for more of the weekend’s happenings.

What has happened at Buford Middle School?

I was walking home today, and was diverted to a new route because 9th Street in front of Buford Middle School as been blocked off, and cops are everywhere. Even one of the local news stations was setting up. That can’t be good. I asked an officer on the scene for some information, but he was not allowed to offer any details other than the fact that something had happened at the school. I have a bad feeling about this.

Carpe Donut Review: Donuts on the Downtown Mall

Carpe DonutWhile we are in love with Spudnuts, we did check out Carpe Donut, a donut cart that sits in the parking lot behind Wachovia on the downtown mall. Matt, the owner, is awesome. He’ll give you a good talking while you enjoy his “crack-cocaine.”

The donuts are all natural, taste very real and 100% edible. I’m happy that we have a sweet donut place on the mall. Listen to how they make the donuts (for all you tree huggers out there):

“We start with organic flour, organic eggs, local apple cider, and organic spices. Add pure sugar and non-aluminated baking powder and now you know all the ingredients. We cook all our donuts in 100% pure soybean oil. No hydrogenation, no trans-fats, no shortening. We always advise our customers to refrigerate the donuts if they are not going to eat them within a couple hours. They won’t last on the shelf for a week like those “things with holes” at the grocery store. In addition to the donuts, we serve organic coffee, cioccollata (Italian style hot chocolate), and fresh mulled hot cider. We buy milk and half and half without rGBH, organic cocoa and spices, and local cider.

Finally, all oils used to fry the donuts are being converted to environmentally friendly biofuel at the end of their frying life.”

I didn’t taste any chemicals. While the donuts aren’t quite as good as spudnuts (which means that, basically, they still rock), they are ON THE MALL!, they are very green and the dude is awesome. Did we forget to mention they serve some good coffee (which is a big plus over Spudnuts).

They are only on the mall on Friday’s, but worth the visit!

cVillain’s Best Office Prank Contest

Fact: This post on pranks was spammed as a prank

Fact: We are all very irritated

Fact: Bears eat beets (sorry had to put that in there)

While I am not entirely sure if this is the world’s BEST office prank, the idea is pretty novel. This got me to thinking…can we come up with anything better? In honor of April Fools Day, I thought cVillain should put together a contest to reward the best cvillain performing villaneous acts that we will all laugh at for about 5 hrs and then immortalize on the internet forever. Here is how the contest works:

  • submit a picture/video of your prank in action-yes, we really DO want to see your co-workers flip their sh*t. Please include a description of the prank as well
  • email said picture and description to my cvillain alias @gmail.com by March 31st so we can post by April 1st
  • pictures/video will be posted and coded by number to keep in the spirit of cvillain anonymity. cvillains will vote all day April 1st to their heart’s content for the best office prank EVER. Note: if you want to have a claim to fame just let us know and we will include your cvillain alias next to the number
  • winner will be chosen by all you lovely villains and announced on April 2nd

We really want you all to step up to the plate for this one. I mean, if you thought the scene in Dumb and Dumber where Harry and Lloyd pack the sandwich full of atomic chili peppers was funny, pretend it isn’t, and out-do those two baffoons. I think I speak for all us when I say we want to be ROFLing, LOLing and peeing pants all over the place. This is really the time to shine for all the devious pranksters out there.

What do you get for thinking outside the box? Dinner IN a noodle box…to be more specific, cVillain’s newest and most favorite food spot, The Box, is offering a $40 dinner to the winner of the Office Prank Contest. Many thanks go to The Box co-owner Chas Webster! To get you fired up here is a funny video showing pranks on Dwight K. Schrute, the beet loving bear fighting Office Manager of….The Office:

In the meantime, what are the pranks you have seen or done that are praiseworthy?

UVa To Offer Free Tuition

Just kidding! But in light of the recent news Stanford broke with last Wednesday about using its monolithic endowment to pay for low-income family’s kid’s tuition, UVa’s current $4bn endowment could be put to better use no?

Continental Divide Restaurant Review: Balls Out and Worth It

You know, I think back to my days as a wee little Nordic God of Static and I always wonder, what would life have been like without Continental Divide? It would have been a lot different, that’s for sure.

Charlottesville’s own Continental Divide hides at 811 W Main Street, across from the Amtrak parking lot and next to some stores that escape my memory. It really does lurk in the shadows. While it may seem reasonable to look for a sign that reads Continental Divide, you shouldn’t. What kind of restaurant hides their sign for the eager public? They have some serious balls.

Do look for a neon green sign that reads “Get In Here.” What about the food?

Christian’s Pizza Restaurant Review

The reputation

Its reputation precedes it. If you spend enough time in Charlottesville, you know that many mall restaurant workers pick up a slice before working… or after. If a friend says, “I’m on my way to Christian’s,” it’s natural to assume that he’s referring to the pizza, not an actual person. The site itself is a landmark. The trolley, for example, stops in front of Christian’s– not the movie theatre. Christian Tamm himself is genuinely nice. (And nice-looking.) And any discussion of Christian’s reputation ends in the same question: What happened to Anna’s?

The experience

Its reputation precedes it literally: the building emits the smell of pizza for the entire block to enjoy.
