The original intention was to find ourselves at Dinosaur BBQ for a potentially excrutiating meeting; my new fake-boyfriend and myself were to break bread with my former fake-boyfriend and his new real-girlfriend, who happened to be a friend of mine. Savvy ? However, we didn't make it - timing and so on.

Ended up meeting up - the aforementioned configuration - with more Dartmouth students at this little Cuban joint. Its strangely uppity, but that's what you get for finding yourself in this shabby-chic neighborhood. Its pretty much everything one would expect from a place like this; overpriced drinks, shitty clientele. My mojito took forever to show up, but was damn good. Strong, but still good. The shrimp cocktail came with a lot of shrimp, I think. It was a lot of pieces of shrimp and yummy red pepper, so that more or less made up for it. The food, unlike the drinks, was super fast. Not unlike the girls we saw clustered outside - ha!
