Garema Place

From Elephant's Child

Buddy and Carla had saved all their married lives for this trip, and by golly, they would see as much of this street art place in Australia as they could.

The bus tour gave them 45 minutes to roam about a park in the middle of Canberra called “Garema” Place.

“Hell, Carla, if I’da wanted to look at weird metal stuff all over the place, I’da made one at home,” Buddy stood with his big belly balanced by hands on hips.  “Mighty dumb, if ya ask me.”

‘Glad I didn't ask.’  Carla mentally responded.  She came to a lonely plaque on the sidewalk.  As she read it silently, a tear slid down her cheek.  ‘Well, at least you rejoiced when it came, Linette Bone.’

Buddy hollered, “Time to get back on the bus.  Who wants to look at that. Get on over here."

Carla sighed, looking one last time at the plaque.  ‘Hope you were loved….’  Then she joined Buddy on the bus.


This was a photo prompt from May 2012.  Its history, told in few words, touched me.

Bad Movies: Gotta love 'em

source

Three months have passed and good entertainment is limited.  BUT, there are still movies few have seen.  The worst film titles with their movies are worth a giggle. And Lord knows that we all need to have some of a chuckle, giggle, or wonder.

Saving the World

My husband is veritable encyclopedia of awful movies with their awful titles. When we trolled through his knowledge, I discovered a treasure trove of really bad movies.

Warrior Nun
Strives to kill.
She came from where
She is Surrounded by Death.

Hardcore Henry
Fighting AKAN
Alive but dead
Finding his way home.

Thong Girl
Battling a villain
vs. Xalta
Where to destroy?
In Outer Space.

Snakes 
Seeking food
On a plane.
Who dies?
Who wins?

I actually loved
this. Samuel L. 
Jackson

Birdemic
Shock and terror
Cringe and gasp
It is what it is.

The Constant Gardener
Seeks with shears,
Sun goes down,
No one is safe.

Look and you will find them, sadly, but grab some popcorn, beer, and lots of wine. Darkness will fall, life goes on. Good or bad movies, they are all the same. Give your mind a rest.
