For a number of reasons I won't get into, I had to download a CD full of drivers and software from HP for one of their All-In-Ones. I downloaded it at work, but it ended up being corrupted, so I tried downloading it here from home and will see how it works. Why from home? Well, the file is about 500 MB.
Time to download at work: 8.5 hours
Time to download at home: 55 minutes
Yeah, pathetic. I never thought I'd see the day where my home access is faster than work. One of the main reasons the speed is so bad at work is because some libraries are on the same Internet access pipe...along with the whole public that comes by to use the public computers. Thankfully, from what I hear, they will finally be moving to their own pipe in July. That should help.

Massage and Release
I had a nice long 80 minute massage yesterday. It was a nice way to recover from vacation and the week at work after vacation. Hopefully it has helped me relax enough to be able to deal with work for the next couple of weeks.
One thing about massages is that it is recommended that you drink a good amount of water after the fact due to the chemical release that comes about. I haven't seen it mentioned exactly what kind of chemicals. I would guess that there could be a physical detox of sorts, as the water would help flush everything out of my system. But I think there may be some mental-emotional chemicals in there as well - mostly because I had a bit of emotional negativity come up; nothing too serious, as I was centered enough to not let it "drag me off" and I was able to clear it out relatively quickly. Now it would be curious if the massage had an effect on the soul. I would guess so, but have no way to tell that I know of. It would be interesting to do before and after aura pictures/chakra readings to see if there is a difference - especially with more than just the root chakra.
If you've had an indepth professional massage, have you noticed anything like this?

Laughter Really is the Best Medicine
An interesting study looking at how laughing effects your metabolism. It just provides me another excuse to hang out with my friends.
