Post #20: Lets give'em something to blog about!

It's a week shy of 6 months back with the d generation blog and this is post # 20. Hopefully the next 20 will come just a bit faster, or not!

I've kind of felt like blogging for about a week now, but haven't found anything to say. Without further ado, lets kick-off post 20 with the funniest thing that happened in the last week.

On Saturday night Xia and I attended my company's X-mas party at a restaurant. When the night was finishing up, a conversation was struck about the stupidity of a certain department at work.

Then one of the bosses said something along the lines of "Well what do you expect when you hire a waitress from Applebees."

I was sitting next to Xia when he said this and squeezed her leg. She too heard his comment. We looked at each other and shared a quiet laugh. Later that night, we spoke about it. She wasn't offended and understood the context in which he spoke. I on the other hand was slightly offended. The funny thing is I'd bet my life that Xia was the smartest person in the room, by far.

My second and final comment for post 20 has to do with Bloglines, a web based RSS reader. You can keep track of any website that offers an RSS feed by logging into Bloglines and submitting its web address. Once you do that it searches for feeds offered by the webpage, if any, and allows you to subscribe to it. Now you don't have to go to various websites to get your information. Just log onto Bloglines and any feed you subscribed to is available to read in one easy to navigate page.

Well I signed up today and started my account. While I was doing it, Bloglines offers some recommended feeds to subscribe to. They have major categories listed ranging from Animal Lover to Tech Guru. Under each category there are usually a handful of recommended feeds. One category caught my eye and made my curious as to what was listed under it. The category was Critical Thinker. When I opened the category up, it had one feed: Comedy Central - Daily Show Videos.

Nuff said!!

Good Time Out


Frank's B-Day

I had a great time on Saturday hanging out with Frank & Co. for his birthday. I think this picture was taken on the corner of 46th and 7th. I was too busy freezing my ass off to look up at the signs, so I could be wrong. Now that I think about it we were two blocks away from Radio City. I'm surprised no one suggested walking by the tree.

Andie was a riot yesterday. When she wasn't putting her boobs on everyone, she was arm wrestling. My type of gal. Speaking of gals, since my gal couldn't come to the party, I was free to roam. The bartender was giving me a great vibe yesterday. Every time my drink was empty, she came by and asked if I wanted a refill. It's the way she said refill that gave it away. I can't blame her though, I'm the Sexy Cuban.
Who can resist?
