Speaker 1 (00:01):
Welcome to your diary episode. Here's the thing. I'm a
bit of a nomad, so these episodes come to from
wherever I'm living or traveling to at the time, so
I'll share with you what's going on in my world,
from book tours, animal encounters, delish meals, nature adventures, health discoveries,
(00:22):
to swimming in Hidden Byron Bay Beaches. Come with me
as I share my adventures with you. Hello, friends, Welcome
to your Los Angeles Actor Diary or your Los Angeles Diary.
We've had a few little bumps in the road when
it comes to recording. Today. Our SD card is playing up,
(00:44):
so I'm recording direct into Bosso's computer right now. Not
that you need to know that, but that's the truth
of the situation. So Hi, Hello, Let's do a weekly
wrap up and talk about all the things that have
happened in the last week that I'm going to do
a card reading and Bob's Uncle Radio. So, first of all,
we saw the new Paul Thomas Anderson movie. It's called
(01:07):
One Battle after Another. It's got Leonardo DiCaprio, Benicio del Toro,
and Sean pen It was ten out of ten, no
notes to the point that I am seeing it again
in two days with my friend Sam So I went
with Bossaceenko. We loved it. It's shot in a format
called VistaVision. I did a little bit of research for
(01:27):
you about VistaVision. Basically, it's a super high resolution film
format that uses thirty five mil film, but it runs
it horizontally through the camera instead of vertically, which is
usually done. So vertically is the way it's done most
of the time. This is horizontal, which makes for a
really real wide screenshot, and it also because it's a
(01:49):
bigger frame, it makes it super high rares. How cool.
A little bit of history about it. It was created
by Paramount Pitches back in nineteen fifty four, and nowadays
it's super because the people kind of wanted that finer
grained film stocks, and as they appeared, VistaVision completely, you know,
(02:09):
it was dropped by Paramount as a format seven and
I only lived for seven years, so now when you
see it, it's kind of a rarity. So the movie
The Brutalist was also filmed on VistaVision, I believe. But
the cool thing about Ala is there are special Vista
theaters that you can watch VistaVision in which told Boss
and I didn't get to do I tried to do
(02:30):
it for Sam and I, but it keeps selling out.
So Quentin Tarantino's theaters, he's got two here, I believe
one is called the Vista and the other is called
the New Beverly. I believe that's where you can go
to see it in that like vista vision format where
you definitely kind of the Vista hence the name. Interesting.
But anyway, if you ever come to La definitely get
(02:50):
to one of Quentin Tarantino's movie theaters. He like has
all the classics going all the time, literally every day,
Mattine for kiddos as well, so good. So the New
Beverly in West Hollywood, and then you've got the Vista
in Los Felis. So there's a couple of old theaters
in Los Feels actually that are really who all the
(03:12):
other ones just called Los Felis Theater. Really cool. Anyway,
the movie itself is fantastic. Leonardocapo is amazing, Benicio del
Toro amazing. It's so fun. Definitely, well it's kind of
like less fun and more thought provoking, but the acting
is just there's like a humor in it. Even though
(03:34):
it's like a dark genre or tropic anyway, I don't
want to give too much away. It's fantastic, go see it, Okay.
So the other things that have happened this week, I've
taught three yoags classes, which is really nice. We also
had a lovely dinner with friends at this restaurant in
Santa Monica called what's it called Meat on Ocean in
(03:57):
Santa Monica literally on the beach. So basically the way
the streets go in Santa Monica as Ocean is the
first street literally on the ocean, and then it's first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, sixteen,
twenty second, blah blah blah. So because it's on ocean,
literally on the first street as close to the ocean
as you can get, they call it Meat on Ocean
and it's a steak bar and we were able to
(04:17):
have Tazzi steaks or was really really nice. Had a
really lovely night with friends, and then today we got
up with another mate and went for a match a
date in West Hollywood at a place called Strings of
Life Soul Strings of Life, and that I think that
one was founded by Grant Smiley, the Aussie, but he
he's back in Australia. Now I don't think he lives
(04:40):
in California anymore. Okay, what else to tell you? This
week has gone really fast. I think it's just been
one of those weeks where I've got my diary in
front of me. It's just been go, go go, honestly.
And with the teaching of yoga, I taught at different studios,
so it's been really nice skiing to know like the
different communities and yeah, really really nice, really really sweet
(05:04):
and boss and I've had an air One date why
of course, because we love it, and yeah, it's just
been really nice. And I have been trying this, like
I'm really into natural skincare, and it was really cool
because I discovered this one at air One just randomly,
and because we're members, we your crew points. I know,
I know that sounds super bougie, but it's actually a
really good deal if you do shop there, and so
(05:27):
I had enough points to get my really cool, healthy, clean,
squealing infused skincare and it smells so good anyway, so
definitely visit it one, of course, if you're in LA.
The other thing I've started is this book that my
mate Alex recommended to me. It's called Blood of Hercules
by Jasmine Mass. I'm literally I think a chapter and
(05:48):
a half in so far, so good. It's set in
the world of Spartan. It's very Greek mythology, kind of vibes,
and I think it's kind of like dark. I don't
know if it's enemy to lobbers, but it's Our hero
is a girl called I think her name is Alexa
(06:10):
or Alexus. But like in the very first chapter she
makes friends with she befriends a snake, literally a talking snake.
So I was like, this is giving Slytherin and I'm
not mad about it. So I'll read it. I'll report
back and let you know what I think next week,
my friends. But yeah, I'm back on the reading wagon
and loving it. All right. I promise you I'll put
(06:32):
some cards, So let's do that. Do you know what
was International Coffee Day this week? So I put out
a free recipe of a it's called a speed date smoothie.
So it's like a coffee date smoothie, cacao coffee date smoothie.
It's free. It's on my substack if you want it.
My substack is just yeah, my Lalla Berry so if
you want that recipe, it's totally free. And then I
(06:54):
shot some more content for True Nigeen. Sorry if you
can hear that. In the background, I'm just shuffling the
cards and I just realized I'm right handed. That means
you got to shuffle with your left hand, and I
was doing the wrong way because I've got the mic
in the other hand, you see, you know, but Houly Dooley,
I can't believe it. I feel like we're nearly at
(07:15):
the end of the year already kind of feels like
Christmas is here. Everything in la is starting to look
really halloweeny, which I am so pumped for. We're just
starting to plan our Halloween planning is happening for us
now Boston. I haven't been to a Halloween party yet,
so it'd be really fun. And we've got these fun
wigs from when we went to the Aussie Christmas. We've
(07:37):
got these like mullet wigs, so funny. So I said
we should go with Steve Ewen or like people at
work at Straya Zoo. So we'll see. And as you know,
if you listener, I'm a massive Steve Owen fan. Now
we've got a really good pod for you on Monday.
It's with actress Claire Lovering. She is in the Newmark
(07:57):
Wahlberg movie called Play Dirty. She's incredible. That was the
episode I think I was telling you about a little
while ago that it was embargoed, so because it came
out on the first of October, we couldn't really bring
it out until this time. So you'll get that on Monday,
which is really cool. And then next week I'm interviewing
an incredible costume designer off the Austin Butler movie Caught Stealing,
(08:22):
and also he also did Fallout. He's done loads of stuff.
He speaks so beautifully as well. His name is Christopher.
I'm looking forward to having him on the Potteroo. He's lovely.
All right. So that's the cards. Let's pull these oracle cards,
all right, So you know the drill. I pull three,
and then I look at the bottom of the deck.
(08:42):
On the top of the deck, just because I feel
like that's what Nan would like. But also NaN's the
person that taught me Hello boo. I'm gonna say hello, hello,
oh cutie, okay, bottom of the deck. Oh my goodness,
I just saw it. Treasure chair an unforeseen windfall of
new abundance comes your way out. Love that love that,
(09:07):
I'll save chop of the deck for last. Okay, past worthiness,
know that you deserve to receive good in all ways present.
Simplify your life, Eliminate clutter from your home and work
life to balance and flow activities. I like that. I
feel like we're doing a bit of that, aren't we,
Boom simplifying of the life. Yeah. And then the final
(09:31):
card for the future is waves of prosperity, new abundance
and exciting opportunities wash over you now, top of the deck.
Rest Oh, I like that. Okay, I think my favorites
are waves of prosperity and treasure jests. They're feeling very
money vibes, how good, how exciting. This is a really
(09:52):
nice I wasn't a deck pool. Card pool. Card pool
is what I'm saying. It's actually a little bit late
here in La. It's bedtime. We've just been go, go, go, NonStop.

Monday in Credit and you had Pippy, you had piped

really cool. Actually caught up with people last nights. That
was nuicte. She's becoming a real lovely mate. It's nice.
We've got some good friends here in La now and
it feels less lonely. And I think it's so important
to have people around you that kind of like lift
you up and make you feel like you've got a
(10:39):
community here and that they understand what it's like to
go for a dream or passion. You know. All right,
