My heart skipped a beat when I opened my mailbox 10 minutes ago. A parcel! And even more, an Arbitrary Day gift! I could barely contain myself, but I did - in a streak of superior self-control - manage to take a picture of the unopened parcel. Yet, 2 seconds later cardboard was flying all around the place. When I pried it open, my heart skipped another beat as I've noticed the shiny plastic of jewel case cd's. Whoah!

As an avid collector you can always get me to dance uncontrollably through my living room. This time it was no different. Especially because it seemed to be 2 No-Man cd's and 1 Bass Communion cd.

I'm a big fan of Steven Wilson in all his incarnations. In expectation of a new Porcupine Tree album, I'm exploring the rest of his output. So my secret santa did me a huge favor! Not only will it keep my entertained for the foreseeable future, it's also another step towards a complete Steven Wilson collection.

Thank you very much, secret santa. You truly made my day. Strike that. Make that my summer!
