>> Up for something fun this weekend?

>>I saw the news
>>It seems congratulations are in order!

I don't know if I'm drunk or I somehow, mysteriously, huffed too much paint fumes but my house is different.

Everything's all nautical-themed, like vintage scraps of wood and seductive-looking lamps and sea glass! Plus, huge. Did I mention huge? I really enjoy how huge everything is, how much space there is, it's delightful.

I'm going to throw a party to ensure it's not just me who is stoned beyond belief. Everyone's invited!

Steep sentences in the corporate takeover of Mandrag, a United Kingdom-based billion-dollar energy conglomerate, were handed out Monday with Gustav Dragmire, current CEO, convicted of first degree murder charges in the slaying of former CEO Daltus Hoffman and receiving life in prison without the chance of parole.

Dragmire, who masterminded the violence, will spend the rest of his life behind bars. He and three others were convinced of multiple counts of first-degree murder, assault, and other felonies. Dragmire and others also faced charges for securities fraud, wire fraud, bank fraud, extortion, money laundering, and obstruction of justice.

Zelda Hoffman, 24, was awarded ownership of Mandrag. Hoffman's attorney spoke at a press conference after the verdict, stating that, "Today's prison sentences mark an end to the trial of those responsible for this tragedy, but sadly cannot erase the pain and loss endured every day by loved ones."

Dragmire is entitled to an automatic appeal; attorneys in the latest filing set the groundwork for future appellate arguments.
