I posted two vids over the holiday weekend, to the general sound of crickets. :) In case any of you are interested but didn't see, they are:
Born Too Late, a Star Trek: Deep Space Nine ensemble vid about dressing up and roleplaying as people from the(ir) past. I really enjoyed making it. Man, I miss that show.
Let's Get Messy, a multifandom vidlet of sexy mud/clay/dirt scenes that came together on Sunday when I found a suitable song by typing "messy" into the YouTube search bar. Ended up using source footage from Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Roar as originally planned and then adding True Blood, Sex and Lucia and SGA to round things out. Never knew I'd make a vid with implied Torrell (prison leader from "Condemned")/McKay and Torrell/Sheppard.

Started a lighthearted little Inception vidlet yesterday for kicks and because I wasn't really in the mood to advance the BtVS one I'm planning for the other Bingo line, but I'm not sure that it's at all as funny as envisioned. :/ Not sure if the BtVS one will work either; if not, expect a screencap-illustrated meta.

Current tally of House episodes at least partly inspired by Berton Roueché essays in this book: 5-6. "Histories," "Poison," the clinic patient in the pilot, "Maternity," "Damned If You Do," and possibly "Words and Deeds." I looked him up on Wikipedia after posting about the book, and the article said in the introductory paragraph that many of his articles inspired episodes of the show. So no surprise there, if you're not me. Still a great read.

Made this simple and super-tasty pork tenderloin last night and made doubly sure that I cooked it to the specified temperature because two of the Roueché essays were about tainted pork—trichinosis and mercury-contaminated feed grain, *shiver*, so safety was even more on my mind than usual. Then discovered that the recipe's recommended temperature is 20 degrees below the USDA's recommended temperature, which I always go by but didn't check last night. Sigh. Then read that the amount of time I cooked it at the lower temperature probably killed the bacteria anyway. Then read that the USDA recently lowered the recommended temperature to just 5 degrees above the recipe's, which I'm pretty sure I hit. We'll see in 10-14 days. If I die, at least I'll have done almost three Bingo lines first.
