A little belated, but here are the pictures from Monday! Taylor and I went to Mount Falcon (I know I just shared pictures from there a few weeks ago, but Taylor hadn't ever been there.)
We took a slightly longer route than Alex and I had - the same "castle trail" out to the ruins, but instead of doubling back, we took the "meadow trail" back.
Here are a couple of my favorite pictures above the cut:
The ruins are still really fun to look at. I'm especially a sucker for all the places where you can see through windows and doorways and gaps in the walls into multiple rooms and layers.
And a nice picturesque mountain shot, with the snow on the peaks.
( 9 more under the cut... )
After this, Taylor and I headed back to their house.
We watched The Old Guard which I've been wanting to watch (and forgetting to) since it came out. I really enjoyed it! As Taylor told me, it was just a pile of my favorite tropes, haha. And I would absolutely be okay with Charlize Theron starring in as many action roles as she wants, because I will continue to love watching her in them, lol. The plot was fun, the choreography was great, I'm a sucker for competence porn, I'm also a sucker for playing with immortality and what it means, and always love soulmate/undying love stuff, so it had plenty to appeal to me, ha. (I could see why so many of the Good Omens writers I'd been following jumped to The Old Guard for a while - that "immortals wandering through different periods of history" thing is a lot of fun.
Taylor also started a playthrough of Transistor for me to watch. I'm really enjoying it, so far! It's absolutely beautiful, and I've been liking the way the plot and worldbuilding is doled out. (Also, utilizing a desire to understand the plot to also get you to try different combat builds? The sheer number of different combinations you can make for said combat? Neat design choices.)
We also read more of That Ain't Witchcraft. I think we're maybe about halfway through it at the moment? I still find it such a coincidence that Taylor and I reached that one at the same time Angel of the Overpass came out, since there's such a significant overlap, haha.
And then we listened to the (quite long) Q&A for Season 4 of The Magnus Archives. I always really love their Q&A stuff, because they are genuinely super funny, and also because I love learning about some of the writing and production choices that were made very deliberately. I'm still a bit sad to now be starting on the final season, but I've very much enjoyed the series.
And that's a more in-depth rundown of what I did on Monday, lol.
