This Too Shall Pass
OK Go wasn’t talking about my hangover, but they SHOULD have been. Yay, Canada! We won the hockey! We won the most gold medals of any nation ever in the winter Olympics! We owned the podium! And Kris nearly got a date with Johnny Weir!
Yay us! And pass the aspirin.
Until my liver has recovered and the marching band in my head has packed up and left, here’s a cute video to entertain yourselves with:
Also? That looks SOMETHING like my living room, right down to the wrecked police car.
The Elder Gods vs the Great Old Ones: what really went down
It all started out so innocently. Great Cthulhu‘s pal Yoggi had recommended a great new book that he’d discovered at Comic-Con. When Great Cthulhu heard the intriguing title
That was just the start. What followed was more than mortal mind could bear; the diabolically warring pantheons, pitted against one another to the death in an unholy war whose fury warped the very fabric of space and time, fought and tore, destroying universes uncounted in their savage thirst for victory. Finally, there were only two left. What happened then remains an unspeakable secret to this day…or does it?
An ancient representation purported to be an actual, contemporaneous image of the final confrontation has surfaced. Make of it what you will, but in the name of all that is holy, do NOT stare at it directly. Use a handy mirror or goggles to protect yourself from the annihilating horror of the eldritch image you are about to view.
Andrew Koenig is Missing
UPDATE: sadly, his body has been found. He died by his own hand in Stanley Park. My thoughts are with his family, whose behavior throughout has been an example to all of noble grief and parental love and support.
Andrew Koenig, actor, producer, and activist, is missing. Last seen in a bakery near Stanley Park in Vancouver on February 14th, he was scheduled to fly home to LA on the 16th, but never checked in for his flight. According to his parents he had been in a depressed state for some time, and they received a letter on the 16th of February that has alarmed them for his safety, because of the state of mind it betrays.
He is 41 years old, has brown hair and dark brown eyes, and is very familiar with Vancouver, having lived here for a number of years. He does not have a car in Vancouver, and is apparently not contacting his friends here, so is probably dependent on public transit. He has friends in the burlesque scene, but apparently hasn’t contacted any of them since the 14th. With hundreds of thousands of people in town for the Olympics, he could easily slip among the crowds, just another tourist.
UPDATE: TMZ reports that (possibly erroneous, of course) sightings have been coming in from all over the Vancouver and Gulf Islands area, and the cops say they are looking for “a living person.” They appear to have information about the use of his ATM card and phone which leads them to this conclusion, rather than the conclusion that a third party has stolen and used them. Given the cautious nature of the police, and the reticence with which they give out information like this, I’d have to say they wouldn’t normally say such a thing unless they were certain well beyond a reasonable doubt.
UPDATE: Radar has information from a New York-based friend of Andrew’s who says he returned borrowed items before he left and turned down new work opportunities, which the friend is taking as a bad sign.
Brooklyn-born filmmaker Lance Miccio said Koenig returned a book and other personal items to his doorstep and turned down two new editing jobs before leaving to visit friends in Vancouver. “I asked him to work on a couple gigs last time we spoke (Feb. 4), and he just refused. It was unusual. He was kind of fed up with the Hollywood business,” Miccio said. “He was a really talented guy, but he may have just said enough is enough and gone off into the wild. He was a nature boy. I keep hoping for a happy ending,” he said
He hasn’t posted any links to his Facebook profile since January, and the most recent activity on the eBay account he used is a testimonial from a buyer dated January 21. It appears he last signed in to YouTube four weeks ago, to upload a trailer for Run for Your Life, an independent web series he had hoped to develop.
This is a web pilot I made a few years back with my old improv group. It spoofs spy shows like Alias and 24 with a dash of Sid & Marty Krofft.
His father, Walter Koenig, has reworked his own site and dedicated it to the search for his son. The below is from that site.

Quick Filler Quiz: what movie is your lovelife like
Yes, filler while I’m stoned on cold meds and can’t blog: note to self: do NOT describe self as “stoned” even on cold meds, when talking to cops. It tends to alarm them unnecessarily.
Frankly, given the state of affairs at Operation Global Media Domination HQ lately, I’m surprised I didn’t come up with Andy Warhol‘s eight hour film of the Empire State Building
