**#StayAtHome #StopTheCurve**

As everybody know (unless you live under a rock) this month the COVID-19
hit hard on some European's countries, including mine. I have spent half
of the month staying inside in quarantine.

It's a weird sensation that gives you perspective even to the point that
going out to take the trash is a special (but dangerous, since people
here aren't taking this seriously) thing to do.

The good thing is that I had some time to move some thing out of my
backlog and I have no excuse to study some things now.

## TVShows/Movies

- Up to date with Money Heist [^show1]

  The third part (first half of the second season?) is worst overall
  compared to the previous heist, but good enough to have enough will
  to watch it to the end.

- Watched The Boys Season 1 [^show2]

  A good show about what could happen if super heroes where controlled
  by a corporation.

- Rewatch: Rick and Morty Seasons 1 to 3 [^show3]

- Started wathing Dragon Ball [^show4]

  The first series, watched so long ago I don't even remember the story,
  is a good show to watch while I cook as episodes are short.

- Started watching Gravity Falls [^show5]

  Recommended by a friend, to watch while we have lunch/dinner.

## Books

- Continued reading The Magicians' Guild [^book1] by _Trudi Canavan_

  Haven't read much this month though. :(

## Videogames

- Started playing The Legend of Zelda: A link to the past [^game1]

  Don't kill me, but this is my first time playing it.

- Started playing Animal Crossing: New Horizons [^game2]

  I have been waiting for this for a **long** time.

- Played a bit of Guild Wars 2. Nostalgia. [^game3]
