Dr Nate @latentcharon.bsky.social · 30/11/2025A little over 13 years ago, I created an anagram map for Sydney's CityRail Network, as a labour of love for my then boyfriend (and now husband). Sydney's transport infrastructure has evolved massively since that original anagram map, which is now just a bit outdated. 1217

Dr Nate @latentcharon.bsky.social · 25/05/2025Another weekend, another move. Next up: The Visitor (2024) Well... That was... something. We're glad we watched it, but this is a very strange film. We appreciated this movie and the themes it explored. With that being said, exercise discretion when watching. 6/10 #NateRates #FilmSky #MovieSky 130
Dr Nate @latentcharon.bsky.social · 12/05/2025Last up on our movie weekend: Popeye: The Slayer Man (2025) A straightforward B-Horror movie, with some flat acting, sprinkled with humour and some basic-but-fun practical effects. A little predictable but overall pretty competent and a decent watch. 5.0/10 #NateRates #FilmSky #MovieSky 130
Dr Nate @latentcharon.bsky.social · 10/05/2025Continuing on with our weekend of movies: Hercules Returns (1993) I'd heard so much about this movie, and it didn't disappoint. Classic Australian humour, with some frenetic energy and great laughs. 9.5/10 #NateRates #FilmSky #MovieSky 160
Dr Nate @latentcharon.bsky.social · 10/05/2025Next up for our weekend movie session: Gorp (1980) Tagline: "A bunch of fruits, nuts and flakes" I won't spend much time on reviewing this. Take all the worst aspects of your 80's fraternity comedy movies, and let the actors loose. 3/10 #NateRates #FilmSky #MovieSky 130
Dr Nate @latentcharon.bsky.social · 10/05/2025Another weekend, so another series of movies for my husband and I to enjoy. First up, Street Fighter (1994). A fun, campy and seemingly self-aware flurry of action, this was enjoyable but perhaps over-long, especially towards the end. 5/10 #NateRates #FilmSky #MovieSky 110
Dr Nate @latentcharon.bsky.social · 06/05/2025The Guardian has published their May list of Australian food in season. Looking forward to some good citrus, avocados and Brussels sprouts.

Dr Nate @latentcharon.bsky.social · 16/04/2025A quiet evening in, the perfect time for another movie. Puberty Blues (1981) A touching and realistic film that gives a glimpse into life as highschoolers in the late 70s. Though my high school years were in the late 90s, not much had changed. 8/10 #NateRates #FilmSky #MovieSky 140

Dr Nate @latentcharon.bsky.social · 30/03/2025A quick horror movie for a rainy Saturday night. The Bay (2012) A pretty decent mockumentary-style eco-horror movie about an environmental disaster.

Dr Nate @latentcharon.bsky.social · 25/03/2025That's a pity. At the very least Sweden has some variety in its supermarkets. Coop, ICA, Hemköp, Lidl, Willys, plus other smaller local stores like Matcenter. Also depending on the season smaller farmers markets. Broadly, it seems like there is much more competition than Australia. 110
