Some Friday Fiveness.

1. How are you planning to spend the summer [winter]?
Wandering Soho, Chinatown, Brighton Beach, and chilling in my big, spacious apartment ALL TO MYSELF.

2. What was your first summer job?
I could NOT get a job to save my life when I was a poor & friendless mexican back in Texas. My dad talked his bosses @ Kvaerner into cutting me a break and they hired me to work as a warehouse assistant for the summer. I wore a jumpsuit and got greasy and operated a forklift. That’s right, kids, Spriteboy cannot drive a car to save his life but he’s a licensed forklift operator.

3. If you could go anywhere this summer [winter], where would you go?
New Orleans, man. Gimme some plastic beads, some po boy sandwiches, and some 735!

4. What was your worst vacation ever?
My mom saw the movie “Selena” (back when Jennie from the block was still Jennifer Lopez and NOT J.Lo) and became obsessed with the young Tejano singer. She dragged us all to Corpus Christi one weekend and made us take the Selena Tour. We saw her grave, her house, her salon/boutique, her family resturant, and basically ANYPLACE in town that anybody thought Selena went to once or twice. I think we even went to her damn dentist’s office.

5. What was your best vacation ever?
10th grade. My parents were overworked and sick of everything. They showed up at school during my lunch hour, pulled me and my sister out, and we went to this beachouse on Galveston Island for the next 4 days. We stopped at a Wal-Mart along the way and stocked up on all the junk food necessities. It was the coolest trip I’d ever been on.

The day is beautiful. My windows are wide open, a slight breeze is coming in. I’m eating a muffin and having an ice-cold glass of water. Have the whole day and night to myself. Cibo Matto is singing to me right now and this is the kind of day I wanna freeze in time, fo sheezy. I’d love to stay in and tell you more things but I gotta get outside and do some damage.

Happy Friday!
