Yes, it’s a copyright picture.  However, it’s too good not to repost. Aislin ROCKS!

As I am being chased (with no partic’lar sense of urgency) up and down a corridor, which is always like a corridor in an apartment I used to live in, being crooked and with doors coming off at odd angles, I’m thinking, “and just the other night I commented to Katie K that I haven’t [...]
