Update on The Will Situation

So my uncles are still screwing my dad out of the things owed to him through their father's will, and there's botched execution and fraud everywhere in this shit. Dad can sue their asses off, but my grandmother won't let him; now she wrote into her will that her home in California will be left to Dad, me, and my brother, while her summer home in Hawaii is going to be left to her other two sons, and that would change if my dad sued, so. Yeah.

My dad has a boat load more propriety over the properties, though, and he's not just looking for a damn cash cow like my uncles. He's decided to pay them for the house that would rightly already belong to him if they were actually carrying out what the will says. As it is, the greed of my uncle Paul is the deciding factor, him being the one who's made and lost multitudes of money time and time again in his life, burning bridges a he passed. And now he's backstabbing his own brother because he has no job and no money.

Christ.

Delightful things I have learned about @KeithOlbermann:

*has already mastered the Art of Twittering faster than @RachelMaddow, calls her a n00b, I squeal my head off
*is a huge Harry Potter nerd
*is BFFies with Simon Pegg and Joel McHale
*is not actually a huge scifi geek, a trespass which I can easily forgive because he greatly enjoys Tom Baker as the Doctor
*believes Jeremy Brett to be the best Sherlock Holmes ever period end of story



With all due respect to Basil Rathbone and RDJesus, THE LAST POINT IS VERY TRUE. I am going through the complete Granada series in a way that can only be described as devouring, already up to "The Empty House". I'll miss David Burke as Watson terribly, but I already love Mr. Hardwicke, and both do a fab job of portraying the good doctor, but I am convinced that Jeremy Brett was born solely for the purpose of playing Sherlock Holmes, world's only consulting detective and champion sofa hurdler. DESTINED for it :D I need extreme macros, because seriously, this imperial ass GQMF. Seriously.



Update time for That Will Situation After The Death Of My Grandfather. Read more... )


Argh, I have not been a very good LJ friend lately, so I'm going to spend a considerable amount of time catching up with all of you. Best wishes and fond feelings for you all <3

Happy April Fool's Day, everyone! if you haven't seen it, [livejournal.com profile] ontd_political pulled a pretty damn good one over us XD

EDIT: OMG AWESOME PRANK COURTESY OF BLIZZARD. My sexy draenei paladin has gained a little weight XD

also, it's Nice Secret Day on [livejournal.com profile] fandomsecrets. IT IS AMAZING.


This week's been more stressful that I like so far, really starting last Wednesday. My Macroeconomics professor had the genius idea of having a paper due the class immediately after we get back from Spring Break--something which I couldn't have done anyway because all my assignment information was in my notebook, and I accidentally left that underneath my desk at my midterm D: --and anyways can you imagine how THAT was? I felt like my eyeballs were going to dry up and fall out of my head, it was so tedious ;__; But upon finding that less than half the class had remembered to do the assignment (having been preoccupied with midterms), he pushed it back to yesterday, and I am very fortunate, as it counts for 15% of our grade.

That's the only academic complaint I can throw out, thankfully, aside from my others just being exceedingly boring that it's hard for me to just not skip them altogether. If I don't get to start doing more biology/medical classes soon, I'm going tear my hair (all too short) hair out.


Family corner: uncles are idiots, the end.

John and Sam and I watched Sherlock Holmes on DVD and John did not mock it endlessly, therefore I am content with the knowledge that I can influence him through movies and TV shows (namely Supernatural, mwahahaha). They spoke so fast at times that John needed subtitles on [insert dumb American who can't understand his own language joke here]. I don't blame John though, it took me a couple rewinds at points, too, even if I do have more of an ear for British accents than he does (although I know BBC programs are not exactly representative as a whole :P).

And today SciFi (I refuse to call it SyFy) is having a Merlin marathon--season 1, ahhhhh that's the stuff, kneewalking and stocks and the fearsome foursome :) I didn't haaaaate season 2, but the dodgy characterizations did get to me after a bit. Here's to hoping season 3 will fix some stuff? Obviously it'll be awesome having Morgana as a badass sorceress along with Morgause, but I hope Arthur finally figures out Merlin :|


Oh shit, episode two now! Swordfighting and Colin Morgan's awkward adorableness and motherfucking snakes on a motherfucking shield!

Soooo that was fun last night. St. Patrick's Day consisted of a very nice meal, with some not so nice conversation about the approximate level of idiocy and douchebaggery my uncles currently possess, some (and for my part, too much) vodka & orange juice (that did not, in fact, get me hung over, but I did spend maybe a minute hugging porcelain this morning), and one of said uncles coming over last night after dinner to slander my dad's name and say he's being unreasonable about his portion of the will, which my brother took offense to and went right upstairs to tell him basically "fuck you, you lying SOB". SO.

I'm really just upset that Chester A) tried to pose the idea that my dad's the aggressor in any way/shape/form, and B) he tried to do it on St. Patrick's, when most people on the planet get drunk and make bad decisions--he was deliberately trying to catch grandma out and get on her good side so she'll put him first on the list for her house when she dies.

Sigh. All I know is both me and John have washed our hands of our uncles, we did some drinking to drown out our sorrows for a little while, and watched the Anaheim Ducks win a great game.

It's a terrible feeling, but sometimes it's hard not to be cynical. sorry Coco :(


EDIT: whoops almost forgot, Iero babies HURRAY. Teeny little balls of self destruction? Yes please.
