absent present

Well, guess who got home from the airport and found a present wrapped in shiny black paper and gold ribbon on the kitchen counter?

Yours truly is now superfluously kitted out with a brand-spanking new, iPad 2 (that makes a rather pleasing rhyme too), the first delivery in North Sydney according to the courier. I downloaded Garageband for a paltry US$5.99 (in comparison to the utterly useless James Halliday Wine Companion for AUS$9.99) and now all my iPhone apps are also loaded and come up in this peculiarly iPhone-sized format in the middle of the screen.

Yours truly wishes to thank the significant other for such an absurdly generous gift. (“Are you breaking up with me?!” may have been one of my repsonses.) Getting presents in my absence is something I could get used to.
