Yeah, I got the information from the newsletter Freddy sends out. Also, Freddy told me in person that Lars from Myrkgrav was up to something when I met him at Inferno 2010.

He was a bit vague but I'm pretty sure he was talking about Myrkgrav.
 
HOLY SHIT!!!!!

Livia Zita (pictured below), the 26-year-old wife of 54-year-old Danish heavy metal singer King Diamond (real name: Kim Bendix Petersen; MERCYFUL FATE, KING DIAMOND), has issued the following update:

"Let me catch you all up on the past couple of weeks' happenings, because it affects many things.

"On Monday the 29th of November, King had to be transported to the nearby hospital by ambulance. After several different tests were done and the EKG machine showing abnormalities, the doctors recommended that he get a cardiac catheterization.

"Cardiac catheterization is a procedure where the doctors lead a very thin tube up from the leg and into the heart, where it injects dye into the bloodstream. Then a camera at the end of the tube takes many pictures of the heart's arteries, looking for blockages.

"After this was done, they determined that King had several heart attacks, and three of his heart's arteries were the cause: one was completely blocked, the second was 90% blocked, and the third was 65% blocked. The only solution to this was an open-heart triple-bypass surgery.

"If you are interested in the details of how this surgery is performed, please look it up online. I will only touch on the basics. The sternum (breastbone) is cut in half and pulled apart, to expose the heart. Veins are harvested from other places of the body, in King's case it was his left leg and chest wall. The person is then hooked up to a machine that practically does the job of the heart, circulating and oxygenating the blood. The heart is then stopped, and the lungs collapse (the lungs stop working since the blood is being oxygenated by the machine). The surgeon then sews the harvested veins in place, bypassing the found blockages. Once the surgery is done, the surgeon moves the ribs and breastbone back into place and wires it together. The chest is closed as well. They use an electric pulse to start the heart and a breathing machine is lead into the lungs to restart breathing.

"King's surgery took approximately seven hours. Everything went well, and King was taken to ICU for recovery. He was walking and eating solid food already two days after the operation, and he was the first one in the history of the hospital who walked on his own power from the ICU to normal care.

"10 days after the ambulance took him to the emergency room, he is at home and is recovering well. It will be a few months before he feels completely normal and is without pain.

"He would like to mention here that he's eternally grateful for the wonderful staff at Centennial Medical Center who took care of him. Dr. Kourlis, Dr. Kamili, Dr. Alang, Nurse Christie and Nurse Thomas among many others made sure that he got the best care and attention he could ever have hoped for. They were always very nice to me, too, letting me stay overnight in the ICU after visiting hours were over.

"In light of this, he will be taking a break from music and the music business altogether until further notice. He very much wants to write new music, finish the DVDs, and go on tour, but for now, all those things are in the distant future and he's not thinking about them.

"Please understand that the KING DIAMOND band is not stopping, disbanding or anything of the sort. King's health is first priority, and when everything is going good with him, the music will resume.

"Thank you all very much for reading this and STAY HEAVY."

IT SNOWS!!!!
IT FUCKING SNOWWWWWWWWWWSSSSS!!!!!!!! :tickled:

-2° and everthing's white..i love it!!!!!!
it's a big event!
 
I got a facebook account, and I'm not happy about it. But apparently it helps you get laid. And get academic contacts. The latter is the main purpose for me (seriously). I like the chat. Let's see how it goes. 2:00… must… play… God of War III… :) :) :) .
 
Finally yesterday I went to snowboarding with my friends. We had good weather and snow conditions. I managed to slide about 12 km totally, I guess it`s good to open the season like that. Today I`m just relaxing because I had a little muscle fever. :)

it was one of the most awesome days in my life.
yesterday i had a walk in the park, half of the snow was gone, and the landscapes were not so white and epic has the ones you have posted on the other thread, but for me it was a great experience.
there's a street in the middle of the park and it was closed to cars, so you could walk it and it was really weird because everthing was silent and desolate and i felt like in another dimension....in a dreamy dimension.
then inside the park the snow was melting, you could hear the ice creak, the sound of soft snow under your feet and the melted drops fall to the ground, while everything was silent and still, no humans, no cars, no contaminations.... i think i've really heard "vildmarkens förtrollande stammor"

friday's journey back home was another thing.
it had snowed in the morning, then stopped at lunch time.
but the temperature remained really low, about -2 - 0 so the snow freezed and the streets turned into a ice rink.
i've never driven on ice so i took about 30 minutes to go back home (7 km) driving at 15-20 kms per hour and trying to brake the less i can.
i was a little bit scared, because a lot of accidents had happened and i could hear the ice craking under my tires. but i arrived home safe and sound and i didn't go to work on saturday. :cool: school were closed and the city had turned into a ghost city....then the temperature got a little bit higher in saturday's afternoon and the ice left the streets.
we are not used to this kind of things, no one has snow chains, we have no idea of how to drive with snow, so the traffic wend really really mad.
 
Merry Christmas! Posting an old Vintersorg-ish yule-tide classic for you few Swedish students (or anyone who just likes some nice atmospheric scenes in general). It is narrated with the poet Viktor Rydberg's poem Tomten. In Swedish, Santa Claus is referred to as a "tomte", a mythical creature which tends to and protects people's farms during the night.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK :( :( :( that's horrible, I sincerely hope she gets better. Did she break her hip? Judging from my experience, if an old person breaks his/her hip, it's downhill from there. I've seen it with three of my four Großeltern (grandpas).

She was conscious and telling you to clean the blood (admittedly that is quite funny), so there's no apparent immediate damage. The head is a strong part of the body, you just have to wait and see if there's blood accumulating inside or not. Hugs from Costa Rica :D:wave: .
