Revive!
Today, I learned that if you have bruises on your writing arm that hurt with pressure, tend to put your arm down on the table while writing, and are about to take an exam, wrapping some sort of padding around the bruises is probably a good idea. >.>

I learned that it is very, very easy to remake the entirety of your music library within 24 hours. If that's all you do for 24 hours.
I still have quite a few left though. It's a painstaking yet gratifying project!

I learned (from an 8-year-old) that it's possible to dig to China by using a shovel, a submarine, and a toothbrush. Also, a brother to use as bait (for the lava, of course!). XDD

I learned that when I say, "Hey, I'm going to go take a shower," my husband will hear, "Hey, don't forget to wash those dishes." -_-

I learned how to colour with the shiny markers I've owned and neglected for the last two years. =D Well. Sort of. If it had been a match-up of Me vs. Markers, I think I might've won on a technicality. But it's progress, and I definitely learned a lot.
...Such as, Steer clear of the deceptively subtle-looking "Pink" unless you want a day-glo Meepit. I mean, well, who doesn't — but artistically speaking, they clash with pretty much everything.

I learned some super-super basic Tai Chi movements and I want to do more. Also, my chopstick proficiency can be classified as 'passable.' It's not great, but I managed to feed myself today! XD EDIT: Because I don't want to double-post.. I learned how to sew a blind hem! My sewing machine manual was terribly unhelpful past telling me the settings to put it on, and then there were a few completely useless Youtube videos, but I finally found one I understood! Now to *actually* hem these pants...

I had a very interesting discussion with my dad about light and colour - learned quite a bit from that. It started with me talking about how the colour of light can affect the colour of shadows, and hoo boy did things take off from there. How to achieve the illusion of nighttime in film, colour temperatures, sunlight and skylight, why the sky looks different when the atmosphere is thicker... fascinating stuff. It shows that science and art are a lot more relevant to each other than some people'd initially think.
(Then again, someone's gotta do all those scientific illustrations. XP)

Today I learned how to cook gyoza without boiling them first! So much quicker! *read this as gizka* Oh cool! Mm, now I want vegetable dumplings. My mom tried to show me how to make them once but they tended to come out in weird shapes.

Today I learned saunas have a point (opening your pores) and aren't just there so people can boil themselves to death for some unknown reason.

Today I learned that if you know your calculator's gonna run out of batteries soon but you want to use them till the end of the batteries' lives, carry around spare batteries in case they die on you in the middle of something important. Like an exam. >.>
