Well, sorry for all of the silence, but I have been on vacation and it has gotten me thinking about this summer and great places to go. I know that we reserve most of our banter for Charlottesville, but one of the things that I love about Cvillain is the networking potential, and so, to avoid a stinker of a vacation, I want insider trade secrets.

Somebody is walking around with a $100,000 voucher in his pocket, and it’s going to expire if he doesn’t start paying attention. A lottery ticket was purchased back in September with winning numbers for a cool hundred grand and it has yet to be claimed. The other day we had a discussion about whether lotteries were a tax on those who can’t do math. It turns out that the tax is gud, because now part of that money goes to pay for the search to find the guy that gave the money, so they can give the money back. It’s OK, I am confused too.

Now to newsies…
That electronic tower terrorism… not so much. It was miscommunication with the bolt replacement team. [H]
Headline from WCAV: “Charlottesville Says They’re Prepared For Weather.” Is this a joke? Read about Armageddon 1 and 2.
Is there going to be a 9-Story building replacing that parking lot near C&O? It’s an engineering nightmare, but a proposal is in the works. [DP]

So, this week, Tuesday specifically, at South Street, I posed a question to the crowd at large:
Q:If you were cloned, and you had sex with your clone, would it be incest or masturbation?

So I just returned from spending the afternoon at the movies. Saw The Mist and Michael Clayton. Both were excellent and I highly recommend them unless a) you’re very sensitive or easily scared, in which case I do not recommend The Mist, because it’s pretty intense, unhappy, and has one of the bleakest and most disturbing endings I’ve ever seen; or b) you don’t like legal mumbo jumbo, because Michael Clayton is all about it (albeit in a very fascinating and suspenseful way). But thats all another discussion. I’m here today to talk about really annoying people at the movies.

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
