Skydiving, parties

It's been a pretty eventful month but I will try to keep this concise. The LuckyOliver party was a lot of fun and we all had a great time.
I went skydiving. Ryan, Jill, and Jill's husband also came. It was a pretty incredible experience, which I'd recommend, but I don't really see myself doing it again. The moment of jumping out of the plane goes much faster than you would expect. I didn't think the freefall was over in a blink; in fact it felt surprisingly long for me. And cold and windy.
I went to a couple web events, namely the SF Beta mixer at the Minna gallery, which LuckyOliver was sponsoring. I saw Thor there and had a good discussion with him. A week or so later was the Laughing Squid party. I rode a nifty Cycle-cide contraption. It was a beautiful venue. I saw David and Katie there and we hung out for a while and got tacos and in general I feel better about my relationship with them.
Afterwards we went to the Minna gallery again for an Anticon show. One guy was playing some interesting touch pad, which Aiden helped explain to me. Boom Bip was scheduled to be playing but we decided to get out of there because the current music sucked and Aiden wanted to visit the 2 to see Moe because it was his birthday the day before. Got some street food (hot dog wrapped in bacon).
Anyway, went to the 2, had a good time as usual, came home, and I just remember feeling something like bliss on the way back. A real moment where I appreciated the "now".
Work has been incredibly stressful lately, since there's just been loads of bugs which came up due to splitting our app up amongst extra servers and doing a long overdue software upgrade. We're basically trying to kill them all as they pop up, but it's a difficult process.
Interviewed someone for Zurb, he's a cool guy.
I joined a 5v5 arena team in WoW with my friends in-game. That's been a lot of fun and we're doing pretty well!
Some big stuff on my mind which I can't really touch on here but will when I get the chance.
Those seemingly random moments of bliss that you can kind of predict coming and are amazed by when they're there are pretty neat.
Could it have had something to do with the bacon wrapped hot dog!!!!!!!!!
