Eating Worms and Spitting Out Germs
As I was packing today for a trip to my childhood home of Chicago, I came across a poem I had written as a child of 7, in 1972. It was in the same suitcase I stuffed it in when I last found it two years ago. (I’m such a packrat!) It’s good to know that my poetry hasn’t improved much in all these years. (Exhibits: A, B, C, D, E, F)
Toot toot indeed!It was a busy week at The Hotel Careyfornia. I was dog sitting Roxy all week, and she garnered a lot of attention in West Hollywood! A pregnant Christine, with her husband Drew and cutie pie Lance checked in on Friday. We had a wonderful visit. On Wednesday, we had a mini Xanga/Tumblr meetup with Sion, Jimmy, Brian & Jedd. It was fun hanging out with all of them. On Tuesday, Mica and I went to a free screening of a film called “Mother & Child“, starring Samuel L. Jackson, Naomi Watts and Annette Benning. It was a really powerful film, and I highly recommend it when it opens in May. Samuel L. Jackson showed up for a Q&A afterward. Oddly, he didn’t remember me from the Vanity Fair party on Oscar Night. LOL. Thursday, Lisa and I took the boys for an earth day dinner at Dove Canyon. When I asked Andy and Tommy about what Earth Day was, this was their response:No mention of eating worms!Some photos from the week:
Mica fell in love with Roxy, and I thought she might dognap her before Dar & Gary returned from their honeymoon last night!

Sion! I’ve wondered where he disappeared to (since I don’t have FB). He looks great!
@ElusiveWords - Yep! Here are some more pics: http://picasaweb.google.com/CareyAnthonyGLY/Sion#
I wanna see Sam hold the Hotel Careyfornia sign!
@Roadlesstaken - How about you and Sam together Alex?
Has he moved to Tumblr and/or FB permanently?
@CareyGLY - I suppose if my plan trip to LA in August works out then yes!
@ElusiveWords - Not sure…hopefully he’ll come back…they usually do.
Let me make a wild guess- you hate spinach?
@Dezinerdreams - Not a huge fan :)
Bravo! I demand more poetry from Past-Carey!

@pxlspy01 - Past Carey….LOL…sounds like one of your superheroes! :)
@Got_Takoyaki - Not in that order
move over Shakespeare, here’s Carey! why would they build such a building and then not allow people to take pix? california is so strange! well, you should stop by when you’re in the hood! – lol. peace, Al
@pukemeister - It’s not California, it’s still George W. Bush and the stupid PATRIOT Act. That shit needs to be overturned.
Great photos :) Friends and family are important to me as well, I aim to photograph them more this summer as a whole bunch of them are coming back from school.
@NVPhotography - I’ll look forward to seeing the photos!
@CareyGLY - amen to that!
