Okay, today's rant is CD producer people being jerks when it comes to putting a piece of music on a disc in its entirety.

i.e., it's fucking impossible to find a copy of the Nutcracker Suite- the whole thing. Not just highlights of.

My Essential Ballet CD has the entire second act. Only the entire second act. WTF? What about the first half of the damn ballet???

It has:

~ The Magic Castle on the Mountain of Sweets
~ Clara and Prince Charming
~ Chocolate (Spanish Dance)
~ Coffee (Arabian Dance)
~ Tea (Chinese Dance)
~ Trepak (Russian Dance)
~ Dance of the Reed Pipes
~ Polinchinelle (sometimes Marzipan/Mother Ginger)
~ Waltz of the Flowers

I just got something (deceptively!) labeled as the Nutcracker Suite from the school library. It includes:

~ The Minature Overture
~ March
~ Dance of the Sugar-Plum Fairy

...and Coffee, Trepak, Tea, Dance of the Reeds, and Waltz of the Flowers. But that's it. It doesn't even have most of the movements that my Essential Ballet does. Hello, stupidity.

HELLO?!?!?! Where the hell are the Snowflakes? The party scene? The battle between Nutcracker and the Mice?????

AAARRRRRRRRRGHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

--- Sorry. This is vastly annoying. I want to listen to the whole thing straight through, dammit. I'm in a Nutcracker mood. It's my favorite story/ballet EVER. And I am now denied the snowflake scene. Damn you, Bolshoi recording. Damn you, Essential Ballet.

Dear Ms. Roberts,

You are a giant fucktard, and someone should call child services on you for naming your kids Hazel and Phinnaeus. Mona Lisa Smile was only a movie. You are not living in the fifties, or before that (Phinnaeus- WTF???) so get the hell over it.

PS My mother thinks you're an idiot, too.

Truly, am goddess of fetal pig dissections. Go me!

Downside to said goddess-dom sucks. Am now perfuming air about my person with odor of formaldehyde. No longer smell of pleasant Warm Vanilla Silk Protein Body Spray purchased from the Body Shop over the weekend. V. bad. Stupid pigs.

Also, have no lemons.

However, am able to bissect organs for group viewing with the best of them. Also finished ahead of the other group due to my obviously stellar scalpel skills. Am brilliant. As I left they were still trying to find the renal vein. Muah ha ha.

No formaldehyde accidents this time!

Fetal pig v. smelly. Kind of bondage-y as well, as we had to tie it down by the ankles to hold it open- it was too big for the pins.

Now am off in search of Snickers bar. Have headache.

... Smell horrible. Ewwww.

Seriously, I spent the whole period breathing through my mouth and not my nose like a good girl, and as a result I didn't get used to the smell. So I can smell this crap all over me. Gonna have to go home and do laundry. Ewwwww. So gross. However, it was very fascinating, so I guess it's worth it to stink for a little while.

In other news, I've lost my Opera Babes CD. This is probably the most distressing thing that's happened in a long time. Not too worried though- it'll turn up, and if it doesn't, it wasn't that expensive and I might be able to spring to replace it in the future.
