Current status: practicing palm muting by doing some power chord chugging on my Epiphone SG while watching the tiny little birds flit around outside searching for seeds after I mowed the lawn yesterday.
They hop from place to place, then elongate their necks to make themselves taller and wiggle their little tails while they do it, it's so cute. Two of them even got bold enough to explore the back room and were in there for a good minute or so! I managed to catch one mid-flight as it zoomed back out.
