The prisoner was transported to the veterinary clinic where he received a thorough examination. The examination revealed no physical damage and overall good health, but it did discover some suspect bowel contents (unsurprising for a prisoner with “Willful destruction of flip-flops” on his rap sheet). The prisoner received a couple of injections to help ease his discomfort, and was discharged with orders for continued observation. As of today, he appears to be feeling somewhat better, but will remain under close supervision.

We will keep everyone updated on his condition. In the meantime, although we hate he’s feeling poorly, we are enjoying the *silence* around here resulting from Loomis’ newfound, appreciation for staying indoors.

The new theme, ComicPress, is in place and, along with a few new plug-ins (some of which also created by the ComicPress folk), is working just smashingly! In addition to the features I mentioned in the last post, you can also now navigate the comics using your arrow keys. Left and Right arrow keys page you through the episodes. Shift + Left or Right arrow keys send you to the beginning or end of the strip. Again, it’s the little things.

Until next time, toodles.

That’s the bad news.

The good news, however, comes two-fold! Part one of the good news is there is indeed a new Life in the Bighouse. I’ll be posting it soon. The other good news is I’ve found a new wordpress theme that was designed for comic delivery. I haven’t played with it much but so far it looks like a very nice theme with several grand features for comics. One of which being a bookmark feature that allows you to “tag” where you are when you’re done reading, and then, when you come back, it’ll send you to where you left off. Not a very useful feature for LitB (yet), but a feature I’ve wanted with several of the webcomics I’ve read. We’ll see  if the boys approve of the new features.

So that’s that for now. A new Life in the Bighouse will be available shortly.

Thanks for reading.

Monday started off smoothly but quickly went to pot.  As you may recall from my earlier post, there was an argument over seating arrangements. That argument quickly turned into an energetic furball (yes, literally).  The engineer, Disco Mouse, is a devout atheist (a fact that *should* have been brought to my attention as a peacekeeping measure) and apparently, in a fit of frustration, made some snide comment to Grim. Loomis—much to Disco’s surprise, I’d wager—rolled Disco for “missing the point” and “being just as guilty.”

Tuesday was a total wash. I thought it best to have a “chill day” to let everyone’s tempers settle a bit.

Today went very very well. Disco was a complete professional and L & G remained quite civil the entire time. All in all, apart from a few sizable bald spots, some minor flesh wounds, and a couple of knocked over microphone stands, no damage was done; and we have a product to show for our efforts! All three are are so happy with it, there is already talk of a video. We’ll see how that goes. They may lose interest. One can hope.

In the meantime, take a listen and let us know what you think: Let it Go!

They really seem to want to do it, and I decided I should help foster their creativity. At the very least, perhaps it’ll get them off the couch for a bit. They do need the exercise.

So here we are in the studio. They are busy arguing with the engineer about being too close to one another in the sound booth (Loomis’ wheelchair does take up a bit of room), so while the engineer rearranges things, I’m posting this. Wish us luck. So far it’s been a long day.
