T is for TARDIS #atozchallenge

~ Meg ~ 47 Comments

In the TARDIS, I will hide
And hope The Doctor lets me ride
Through space and time
The ship sublime
That I know is bigger on the inside

Ok, ok, I know I said my dream job was to be a Bryan Ferry back-up singer… I did tell you guys that right? Well, forget it. My dream job is to be The Doctor’s companion! Seriously, how could anyone resist? The entire universe at your fingertips, all the moments of history available to visit. Which one would you pick? You wouldn’t have to! You could visit them all. I do have one stipulation for this adventure… I’m going with the Tenth Doctor (David Tennant)!  There he is with his sonic screwdriver, looking all adorable.Unknown

 

 

Also, don’t tell me this isn’t the best TV theme song EVER!

R is for Romance #atozchallenge

Things that sparkle, things that shine
Candles, moonlight, fire, and wine
But all I need
Is you with me
True romance is a state of mind

I don’t need to be showered with presents. I don’t need fancy restaurants or a night on the town. I need his attention, his kiss, his laughter.  I want to talk about important things. I want his secrets, I’ll give him mine. It can be simple or complicated, either way is fine.

Here’s another artist from my part of the world – Bucks County, PA:  singer-songwriter Christina Perri, with this sweetly romantic song – The Words.

P is for Pompeii #atozchallenge

~ Meg ~ 28 Comments

Fire and ash from miles away
Buried the city of Pompeii
Choked of breath
The throes of death
The victims lie preserved to this day

I had the chance to see Pompeii in 2009. Here are a couple photos:

And the victims…


Some of the architecture:

Wall paintings, remarkably preserved.  The one on the top left is from the wall of a brothel.  Notice the fair skin of the prostitute, compared to the darker skin of her client, who spent his time out in the sun!
