Last-Minute Mother's Day Gift Advice

I'm a tired procrastinator who hasn't slept for more than 5 consecutive hours in almost 9 weeks, starting down the barrel of my wife's first Mother's Day with nary a gift in hand. If you're similary situated, come join me at the local bookstore to pick up a copy of "Go the Fuck to Sleep" by Adam Mansbach.



Our pediatrician says you can read anything to a baby and he will fall asleep, so long as you use a sing-song voice. Her exemplary bedtime reading material was the Gettysburg Address. Honest Abe isn't getting the job done in the zhome. Hopefully "Go the Fuck to Sleep" will be more effective.

I plan on reading my kids classic hip hop verses. Train those little shits early.

In other news, my Mom is having a Kentucky Derby party. It's just an excuse for my parents to get drunk with their friends while the women wear fancy hats. Anywho, I've never tried a mint julep because I'm not big on mint and it sounded like frilly women's drink. I was wrong. These juleps, they are strong. The people at the Kentucky Derby must be fucking hammered. Really fucking hammered.

Apparently Todd Marinovich has an art gallery as well. I looked it up online. He's not bad.

He has a Jimi Hendrix portrait that's pretty fucking cool.
