iTunes Redefines the Holiday…

So my family is going to see the Nutcracker ballet this weekend – a beautiful holiday tradition, I think. We wanted to rent a copy on video so the kids could get ready to see what it’s all about, but no dice. We can get Barbie, Tom & Jerry, and even Robot Chicken, but no Tchaikovsky!

A-ha! This is the modern world! How about Amazon Unbox on TiVo? No dice.

And iTunes? Let’s see… There’s Barbie and Robot Chicken… Maybe they thought it was a music video?

iTunes suggests an alternative for “Nutcracker”

Merry Christmas to you, too, Apple!

    Too bad you’re in Wooster and I’m on West Coast. I could loan you my lovely Nutcracker VHS of the New York City Ballet featuring Mikhail Barishnikov and Gelsey Kirkland. Really amazing. (However, it sort of spoils one for the local Nutcrackers.)

    Thanks again for fabulous gmail/Outlook mail transfer work-around!

    Crazy8s,

    Thanks for the thought anyway! You never can tell where I am – Philadelphia today!

    And I’m glad the transfer worked. It’s not perfect, but it’s good enough…
