valentines day

so last night me and a big group of people decided to go out to dinner because we are all single and wanted to do something. we went to this indian restaurant where we had made reservations for 7:45. we got there a little late but then they made us wait until 8:30 to be seated. we were all very hungy at this point. then we ordered. a little over an hour later we got our food-now very very hungry and kinda pissed off because we had been completely ignored and they forgot to bring us our bread. right as the food arrived the cieling above caleb, who was sitting at the end of the table next to me, began the leak a lot. the server continued to bring out our food and only said oh it is raining in here in portuguese. of course, it was not raining outside and the celing of the restaurant was not the roof of the building so it was probably a bath or toilet overflowing. caleb stood up and got his food and moved over and was standing somewhere else were it wasnt raining. then the ceiling there started "raining" also and harder where it had been before getting me and carly and elsa wet as well. our plates were covered in water and our wine classes were half wine half water. still no one said anything so we just got our stuff and moved to a different tabel while the rest of the restaurant gave us very cold stares-probably for making a "big deal" of it. right as it started raining a baby started crying. there was also a phone that had been continuously ringing to the tune of a nutcracker song. we went over to the other table and just laughed a lot because it was so ridiculous. we contemplated just walking out and refusing to pay but we knew it would kinda screw over the other people at we were with. after that we thought some gelato was in order. then we danced the night and our cares away at via da latina. all in all an okay valentines day.

I'm listening to New Pornographers right now and it feels weird.

fuck that indian place. more ridiculous dancing is in the future, as we drain every good element from coimbra that it has to offer.
