Social Media Sassy

Now that I’ve spent a month learning how to blog, tweet and optimize my search, I am officially hot to trot. I’ve learned how to add keywords, and the right ones at that. How to tag my meta, and raise my Klout. I now speak all these languages: fbml, html

KoreaTown

Left my class last night about 5:30 and headed across town on 32nd Street. About the time I hit 5th Avenue, the whole landscape began to change. I’ll let pictures speak for themselves: Oscar Meyer a la Korea: Korean BBQ? Not sure that sets well with this Southerner: KoreaTown’s version

DAY SEVENTEEN

You would. I just grinned from ear to ear when I saw this spray-painted on the bottom of a lamp post. I can only imagine what motivation was behind this, can’t you? I worked all day, again, inside. It was okay because it was terribly hot outside plus I needed

DAY SIXTEEN

What’s that saying?  “A friend is someone who will bail you out of jail, but your best friend is the one sitting next to you saying, ‘Damn, that was fun!’ “ Well, that’s the type friend I have in Annie G. I was walking down Broadway in broad daylight, minding

DAY FIFTEEN

Dating has gone to the dogs. I witnessed the smoothest move ever today. This single guy in Greenwich Village organized a MeetUp group of Chihuahua owners this morning at Washington Square. This stud had no less than twenty women show up ~ just in the 10 minutes I was standing
