Here's a Thing
My least favorite saying is “I give myself permission to.” It’s stupid because we all give ourselves permission to do everything, but tonight I understood it for the first time: I gave myself permission to delete “30 Rock” without watching it.

The Only Living Maid in (Law & Order's) New York →
The Law & Order franchises are famous for recycling actors: One episode’s stripper is the next episode’s ADA. But no one individual — save for series regulars or semi-regulars — has been more prevalent in the series as actress Teresa Yenque. She has appeared in seven episodes of Law & Order and Law & Order: SVU — as a different character every time.
