I like the heavy metal mute

and the rubber-covere heavy metal mute

Edit: On a more positive note, my rubber mute was delivered today, and I love it! It allows a little more volume than my heavy metal mute, which is nice. I've found that the metal mute is overkill for most situations. Plus the rubber one is far less scary to use; my metal one always made me a bit nervous since it could easily damage my violin if it fell onto it.

Another week of the Suzuki Book 4 struggle. I don't know if I can say I'm at a plateau, because I am progressing, but progress is SO slow. I've been working on piece #4 since February! I can finally play it all the way through (took a while to build the stamina), but it still isn't too pretty.
More than anything I'm just frustrated with myself. I go through these cycles throughout the year where my energy and general motivation rises and falls. I feel like I've been on a low motivation kick for months now. I keep letting my dishes pile up in the sink, I have unfolded laundry lying on my bed, I spend way too much time mindlessly browsing Reddit, and my violin practice schedule has been all over the damn place (sometimes in the afternoon, sometimes at midnight like tonight). I really need to get back into a routine. The good news is that this anger with myself is usually the feeling that sparks a high(er) motivation period, so I should be getting my act together soon.

Anyhow, here are some nifty links I recently found:
Printable Scales - PDFs of 1, 2, and 3 octave major and minor scales.
Scales - This page is nice because it has audio files for all the scales, so you can hear what it's supposed to sound like when you play it.
Online Flashcards - Flashcards for learning music notes! This is just the kind of thing I need to sharpen up my sight reading.
String Articles - Articles for/about string musicians.
No problem! As for the mutes the quietest ones are metal, not rubber.
The heavy duty ones are like this:
