I went to bed early last night after returning from my labor at the pizza shop and as a result I woke up at 4 am unfatigued so I decided to go to work early to practice violin and I learned a few things. From this morning's practice session, it was quite evident to me that:

1)If you dont play everyday you loose your muscle memory from previous practice sessions, hence the need to practice everyday to keep muscle memory fresh.
2)It doesnt sound good and it doesnt "start to happen" until at least 40 minuts of continuous playing.
3)Dont think, let it happen and do what comes natural.
4)Support of the bow grip and angle of the bow is largely controlled by the finger next to the pinky.
5)The pressure I apply to the bow mostly seems to come from the second knuckle and the majority of scratchyness comes from too much weight applied to the second knuckle.

After that I was admiring the first 3d image and first color image from the surface of mars.

Cool!
