I think I was just following Addy's posts more closely and sort of picked it up. I guess I just trust british chicks more.

@Brian Lam: Awesome job. Giz is almost always open in my browser. Technically, I get paid to do it, but it's not part of my job.

@My Boss: I kid. Ignore that.

And life. Sorry, I'm sick, that's as witty and profound as I'm going to be today (ie. Not much).

I was thinking "that looks good; hmm... some kinda ham/cheese thing; WTF did I eat that for!?; All that for 30 euros!?"

Please do tell which tapas place that you went to.

And i would sound rude if i spoke latinamerican spanish to anyone. Dude, Brian Lam go to La Alhambra, and take pictures, that place is amazing. Thats what i call a gentle mens club, those moors sure knew how to keep their woman happy.

Actually, they took you to a really good place that's close to where they live. You owe them.

And not only because of that, [www.gizmodo.es] editorial style is just as irreverent as the US version and manages to keep its wittiness and most of the blogger irony... all of which is very hard to translate into Spain's spanish. Kudos to them. (Jesús, eres un "mostro")

Lego block under the pillow, that's very cool.

thats how i feel about it. except i take breaks to smoke, too, but an old restaurant habit allows me to smoke a whole cig in under 2 minutes. and i read fast as well.

this is, however, my favorite, most visited website in my entire history of tubing.

NOTE: to whomever has to read my keystroke log:
I'm only on here when im waiting for things to render or a phone call, or on my breaks. I Promise. And I always make it up later.

I feel so ashamed.

At least I read fast, and use it as a diversion between phone calls, drafting memos, and doing research. I guy needs to let his brain unwind for a few minutes every hour, as far as I am concerned.
