How can you have any desire to work?

charlottesville weather

Today is probably the worst day ever to actually get any work done.

Why?

  • The mall is packed with hotties of all genders.
  • This is the first really nice day since January.
  • It’s supposed to rain later.
  • Everyone is smiling.

I mean honestly, it’s like it’s mating time. Am I the only one who believes this day rocks because of biological arguments . So, what’s the best excuse to leave work early on a Friday afternoon and, you know, do biological things?

Veggies are much better than wedgies, I always say.

tomato.jpgAhhhh, Friday morning. It’s a beautiful morning, and if I’m not mistaken, we’ve been promised temperatures in the 70s today. As the weather starts to warm up, I begin to compulsively day dream about being anywhere but inside despite the ball and chain that has me locked to my desk, and though a little uninspired, that dream brings me most often to my lunch hour. Having worked on the mall for many years now, lunch can kind of become a Ron Burgundy (that’s a Big Deal for those of you that aren’t keeping up) because on the one hand you’ve got all these great places to frequent, and on the other hand, frequent becomes the highly operative word in that sentence.

The Landmark Hotel Is “About the Community”

YOU WILL WANT TO COME HERE, TO THE LANDMARK YOU WILL LIKE IT, CHARLOTTESVILLE

I’m not making this up. In a recent interview with NBC 29 about the up and coming boutique hotel named “The Landmark,” Developer Lee Danielson told NBC 29 the following things:

You’ll see a friend and say I’ll meet you at the landmark. It will be a landmark for Charlottesville…[and] Charlottesville is about community and our hotel and the boutique concept is about the community. So when you walk in there it’s going to be a meeting place that you want to come to.

Am I being forced to like the hotel?  Is Lee a hypnotist.  I think so.
Now count slowly back from 50..5…4..3..2..1. Nice, now imagine you are in a special place.  You must  in the hotel. You will go to The Landmark and enjoy it.  You will tell your friends that you want to love it.  You will love it.. or else you will feel.. pain.

Ok, it sounds a little over the top and like they got ahead of themselves on how cool this spot is going to be.  We’ll find out in July 2009.

I’m looking forward to the rooftop deck; nothing like drinking martinis on a rooftop deck.  Did you hear that, developers?

Armageddon VII: Power Out on Half the Mall Last Night

Holy snickies.. (does anyone know how to spell that).

Half the mall was completely dark last night. Everything after Blue Light to the Amphitheater was pitch black.  Did that freak anyone out or was it just me?

Thinking outside the box


I love the Box.

I wanted to wait to review it until I’d had at least three dishes, and after the first trip, it didn’t take long to get to that point.

Before I start talking about it, and by talking I mean gushing, I want to say that this is a pre-review, not a review. They did a soft opening with zero promotion last Friday, and the staff has unanimously established that they’re still working out the kinks. That’s perfectly fair.

The Hook’s Dish announced the opening on Thursday, but C-VILLE’s Restaurantarama got first dibs on a review of the food yesterday. Enter the red-headed stepchild of Charlottesville news.

FBI Arrests Owner of Sexshuns

The Daily Progress reports that the owner of Sexshuns, a downtown mall clothing and shoe store, has been arrested by the Feds.  Reynold George Samuels Jr, is charged with marijuana distribution, drug conspiracy, felony copyright infringement and firearms charges. Additionally, he was charged with:

50+ grams of crack cocaine

500 grams of powder cocaine

220 pounds of marijuana

That’s a lot of drugs!

Now, the question is, would you have thought?

Mall Quickie

From a little birdie…

Someone told me that they were walking down the mall and caught sight of some open air diddling last night…apparently the two wrapped it up and were left alone by the cops. I’m sure that people have had sex on the mall before, but it still strikes as a pretty, ahem, ballsy move for a Tuesday night.

Join the clique!

Tonight is a golden opportunity to join the clique, as villains celebrate Mardi Gras AND Super Tuesday at Escafe. Why is today an important day for regular readers of cVillain.com?

  • Mardi Gras, like New Year’s and St. Patrick’s Day, is an excuse to drink excessively.
  • Today, we liberals get to feel more openly smug than usual.
  • belmont yo DJs at Escafe tonight.
