The path core module gives you the tools to deal with this. So, just put this logic in a middleware before your static middleware, like:

var express = require("express");
var path = require("path");

var app = express();
var port = 8181;

app.use(function (req, res, next) {
    var filename = path.basename(req.url);
    var extension = path.extname(filename);
    if (extension === '.css')
        console.log("The file " + filename + " was requested.");
    next();
});
app.use(express.static(__dirname));

app.listen(port);
