ragtags studio central: sarah's random this & that

random means "having no definite aim or purpose," (1655), taken from "at random" (1565), "at great speed" (thus, "carelessly, haphazardly"). In 1980s college student slang, it somehow, and sadly, acquired a distinct sense of "inferior, undesirable." (Online Etymology Dictionary, Douglas Harper) Well, okay, fine, Mr. Online Etymology Dictionary person, but THIS is the 21st Century. It's a whole new ball of wax.

Sounds of the Season

By the time I was in 8th grade, we had a few records that we played until they wore out. Soundtracks - Gigi, The Music Man, South Pacific, West Side Story. Dave Brubeck - Take the A Train. And Herb Alpert. Cheezey, but I loved it back then.
So here's my first gift of the season (you can turn down my blog soundtrack if you just scroll down the sidebar). She can barely keep her eyes open - those eyelashes must weigh a couple of pounds! I'm crazy about the pensive beachside close-up though. . .

eyelashes were the least of her worries on that!

That cover (1965) is freaking awesome!
I think it's a spoof of a famous painting! The colors and font are lovely - - -
