**#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]
