Having recently turned 30 myself, I know the drill: 1) Realize Orson Welles directed Citizen Kane when he was 25. 2) Realize you haven't, and you're 30. 3) Drink a lot.

In his most recent post, he discusses the making of his favorite MASH episode, "POV." The story was told entirely from the first-person POV of a wounded soldier, who encounters all the show's regulars as they work to heal him. In the preceding post, Levine includes an excerpt from that episode's script, as well as STBDhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14744790245612351262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26751233.post-91735466526782155082007-11-28T11:58:00.000-08:002007-11-28T12:13:25.654-08:00Yahoo Loves STBD!Erik Schark (aka Rich on STBD) and Rick Hertzig (aka Glenn) each noticed this bit of news today: Something to Be Desired is featured on Yahoo video's homepage, in both the "Channels" AND "Featured Videos" section -- which we think is very cool.

Oddly enough, I'm about 3 hours away from having it done, but I have to leave for the airport in an hour (hello, Thanksgiving week travel delays)... which means the episode will be completed somewhere between Pittsburgh and Fairfield, CT, and uploaded as wifi allows.

Rumor has it that veteran podcaster C.C. Chapman might be in town from Boston that night and making an STBD cameo appearance as well. If you'll be downtown for light-up night, keep your eyes open for Caroline, Tabitha and the rest of the STBD cast!
