"I told her she could keep the money, if she'd let me come up in her parlor and listen to Louis Armstrong"

Last night I put away my calculator and piles of calculations and stretched my legs for the first time this week. I'd been dreaming about fighting off muggers. I'd missed my ballet class on Monday, largely due to being overwhelmed with accounting, and I'd begun to have trouble adding 2 and 2.

But then I rediscovered the joys of Kid Koala and Fatboy Slim. Here's a Fatboy Slim video showing a poor slob who looks like he does more accounting than I do. This video's by Spike Jonze, by the way -- of "Being John Malkovich" fame.

You can see Spike Jonze himself dancing to Fatboy Slim here. I wonder if Miss K, my ballet instructor, would be impressed if I broke out some of these moves in class. Taxes safely dispensed with, I can find out next week.
