My Bitches.

Here’s my two girls chillin’ in the wee hours o’ the morning.  I’ve been working so much lately that a tender quiet moment like this makes me stop and think… dogs friggin’ rule


Walking the Walk

In my commitment to randomness here at mrjeffmccarthy.com, here’s a  post about the route I take when I walk Jelly and Jam.  I turn right as I leave the house, heading north up N. Montana Avenue.  The reason I like heading this way is I like to include in my walk the pedestrian catwalk and its cool graffiti.  Including this in my route means I have to navigate the worst intersection in No-Po, circled here in yellow.  The traffic going east on Rosa Parks has a light, as does the traffic from North Montana.  The cars and huge trucks hauling ass from the overpass, however, have NO light, and no idication of when the eastbound traffic is going to get a green and cut off whoever is trying to turn down N. Montana.  I think the traffic analysts decided that the solution here was to make the “walk” signal only three seconds long.  That way any foot traffic would be in and out of there as quickly as possible, thereby reducing the number of casualties.  Coincidently, this is the same intersection that police cornered an armed robbery suspect a few months ago, closing off everything in a 10 block radius.  So I like to turn right, and get this out of the way first, and I can enjoy the rest of the walk over to Pennisula Park.  When my dogs need to check thier pee-mail, this is how we do it. 


I’m Drawing in the Basement…

  If there’s one good thing that has come out of this broken arm, it has been learning Photoshop.  The past few weeks I’ve spent countless sunny hours sucking up this program like a blood starved creature of the night.  When I wasn’t drawing or compositing, I’ve been reading web comics, which inspired me to start drawing my own.  Now I have another way to express my love of food; by chronicling the misadventures of a hero whose head is made of butter.  I’ve posted the second page here on mrjeffmccarthy.com for my loyal readers to enjoy.  Maybe one day I’ll enough content to start another site exclusively for all my cool drawings.  With this cast coming off on Wedsnesday, and me hopefully going back to work, I’ll only be able to play around with the computer alot less.


Five Day Mark (dust off the longboard)

jellyjamandboard.jpgWell it’s been a long haul with this fucking cast.  The past month has been an interesting one.  My skateboards have dust on them, and my “Woo-Hoo” output has been at an all time low.   Modern technology , however, has shown me just how quickly one can pass the time if one desires to.  Additionally, modern hygiene products have shown me just how many days one can go without showering or shaving.  So with under five days left with this cast, I can look back and say, wow, I guess it wasn’t all bad.  I’ve really come to appreciate some things a little more, which I may not have otherwise.  If only I could get Photoshop to pay the rent.


Acute Cabin Fever

Look, I learned the intricate ways of photoshop and brought forth the ultimate image!  Actually this is a real conversation that I witnessed between my dog and my brother’s cat.  They often converse in speech bubbles that can only be read with a universal translator.  Don’t go looking for intelligent thought here.  All you’ll find are salmonberries.


Dogs Rule.

This page will be a little insight into my life, and a little reminder to all you sinners out there how awesome I am. I hope to include but not limit to my adventures in food, (pastry, cooking, eating, drinking, kitchens, ) hiking, biking, skateboarding, snowboarding, backpacking, and generally being awesome. So tune in at your leisure to sample a little slice of my life…mrjeffmccarthy.com
