Thor posted his V-Day picks for singles (I especially enjoyed the recommended music pairings), and I promised mine with the honeymoon suites. So for those of us enjoying self-love on Valentine’s…

Get drunk and dance. Obviously. Knockin’ Boots at R2!

Go to page 57 of this past week’s C-VILLE if you want to see some breastesses. I’m completely serious.

Order yourself a heart-shaped pizza from Pizza Bella. Check out the toppings online and call 296-7472 to order.

Crash a friend’s apartment complex hot tub and drink champagne from a Solo cup. Don’t feel like subjecting your “winterweight” to a bathing suit? Or sitting in a hot tub solo? I’m with you. Buy a heating and massage pad for about $30 from one of those non-local mega-stores you hate and blow bubbles in your champagne with a straw.

Go to Ultimate Bliss (on the feeder road to Best Buy) and pick out something for the ultimate self-love experience. Consumer Reports steers clear of sex toy reviews, but the internet does not. Read a funny guest column in Marie Claire by a paid sex-toy tester here.

Eat at Mas. The hottest restaurant in Charlottesville (without trying) is not breakings its no-reservations policy for the holiday, so manchego cheese and sundried tomato aoli can be yours, all to yourself. Arrive early, ladies and gentlemen, or you will wait, and it will still be worth it.

The Shoghaken Armenian Folk Ensemble is performing at the University of Virginia’s Old Cabell Hall at 8pm, $10 for public, $5 for students. Apparently, this group is the preeminent authentic traditional Armenian folk ensemble. I bet it’s going to be really cool. You try to play a duduk.

File your taxes. If you’re already in a bad mood, why not?

(But I really recommend having a cheesy fun Valentine’s Day to celebrate yourself.)

Well everyone probably has Valentine’s Day plans, but in case you don’t here are some suggestions.

Me, I’ll probably just sit at home alone, think of new posts to write for cVillain and hope that everyone is having a good time. I didn’t really have a theme for these suggestions and I was trying to find singles non-lovey dovey stuff, but it’s hard. Charlottesville, your money is spent in couples on the 14th. It’s cool.

Anyway, here THREE events that caught my eye as well as THREE homemade solutions. If you are lazy, you will do a non-homemade solution, if you want serious plus points, do it homemade. Everything is local. Let me know what you think of the homemade ones and suggest your own!

I was, admittedly, a bit surprised to learn from an earlier poll that many cVillain readers are married or in serious relationships. I just naturally assumed that anyone who derived perverse satisfaction from discussing aberrational sexual behaviors in haiku late into the night was single, too. I was mistaken, and so pleased to learn we are all freaks of nature together, every one of us. »Read More
