Only six years late to seeing this … she’s Australian of Maltese descent (born 1995. a Millennial) … has mastered the technology enough to create a one man band … I like her feral energy and appreciate the time she has spent perfecting her act:

Movies Watched -- Au Revoir Les Enfants (1987)
101 minute running time so the right length but I disliked the main rich kid brat so much that it was hard to watch this one … I like the idea of hiding the Jewish kids in a Catholic school, but I wasn’t thrilled in the end with this movie.
“Malle … age eleven … watched a Gestapo official enter the classroom of his Fontainebleau school and summon a fellow pupil by an unfamiliar, Jewish name.“
Hot for Schubert
Big Each Other Up
Odette Peters with Lose My Mind… I dig it:
All These Men I'm So Much Better Than (Acoustic)
An acoustic version of Olivia Dean’s “Be My Own Boyfriend” … she’s so beautiful and has a great voice and is super cool… girl you look so gosh-darned good tonight … I can do whatever whenever the heck I want!
Movies Watched -- The Battle of Algiers (1966)
In French (mainly) … 121 minute running time so maybe a little bit too long, but I enjoyed this one and will give it a green-go since I’m in a generous mood … ahead of its time, depicting French colonialism in Africa and terrorism, er, revolutionaries, and independence movements … not sure why I liked it so much, but it just held me … it doesn’t sugarcoat anything, including the savagery on both sides. Recommended.
Fatiha, child bride
Ferraris Through the Years
All photos stolen from Bring A Trailer listings … click to enlarge … which is the most beautiful and the ugliest? I think the F355 is still my favorite….
Jeni's Butterscotch Popcorn Review
Final installment in my series of Jeni’s ice cream reviews: Butterscotch Popcorn.
I thought I had saved the best for last since I love popcorn, but I couldn’t taste any popcorn here. Maybe my taste buds have been blow out by the previous eight pints of Jeni’s. The butterscotch was good, I guess the idea was to replicate Cracker Jack or Crunch ‘n Munch, but it didn’t really work.
Cutesy side story
Maybe it was a problem of having high expectations? Anyway, once again it’s a good gimmick flavor to try once in a scoop shop. I wouldn’t buy it again for $12 (plus $15 shipping).
Don't Apologize For Crying
Love this song by Pip Millett to her sister? Ava .. such a great voice:
Carve Your Rights Into Your Arm
Pre-internet, when album covers made an impression … great track:
