Coronavirus Diary

Day 173 6th September 2020

There's 7,727 cases in Northern Ireland, 347,152 in the UK and 29,672 in Ireland. There's hundreds of new cases daily across Ireland and thousands across the UK, it's really bad.

When I got up I did a job application and it took way longer than I expected, so I didn't get to watch a movie. 

I watched The Office webisodes and Erin wanted to learn about being an accountant, Oscar wouldn't help, so she went to Angela, who was pretty strict. She left Angela and Kevin offered to help, so she took him up on the offer and he let her go with Kelly, when Angela hadn't.

Ryan wanted to make a horror film and he tried to do it at an old people's home, but the staff said it would be exploitative, so he couldn't do it there. Instead he got people from the office to do it, the movie was pretty funny and they used real footage of Angela and Gabe being surprise scared from them.

Then I watched Brain Games and they were doing one about focusing and they got us to count the rugby balls, I got 26 and there were 27 of them. But writing came up saying to stop counting because there were 27 of them, I hadn't even noticed.

There was a bit where they got us to keep track of how many times the food changed and I think I was one point off. I had also noticed the man's hair changing, but they changed their clothes as well, it was mad. I was quite shocked that i didn't notice.

There was another one about time and they showed the same picture a few times and then a different one and it seemed like the different one stayed on for longer, but it was the exact same amount of time.

They also got us to count to 8 seconds and I was pretty much spot on and so were the guys who rode bulls.

Then they showed how the speed of light was faster than the speed of sound, it was pretty cool. They also showed the presenter talker 0.10 seconds out of sync and it was unnoticeable, but they made the time lag more and it was easy to notice.

There was a bit where they showed a sentence about a mouse on a table and I imagined the animal, but it changed when they said broken and I realised after a second or two they meant a computer mouse. 

Then I watched Rolling In It and the questions were a lot harder than usual. There was a bit where the woman and Mark Wright got a steal and the other two had the same amount, they got the question right. They took from the mother because she was going to take her kids to Disneyland and the woman stealing said it wasn't that good.

There was a question which asked which star sign had a goat and the options were Aries, Capricorn and Taurus. I thought it was the Capricorn, but I wasn't 100% sure. Mark said he was a Capricorn and he knew it wasn't that one, but he was wrong, it was pretty funny.

Mark got through to the final and they won £7,500 and he lifted her up, it was great.

After that I watched Britain's Got Talent and it was the semi finals, my favourites were Yakub and the comedian. Simon wasn't there because he broke his back, so Ashley Banjo took his place.

They're doing it differently this year, the judges pick a top 3 and then vote on who to put through. The child singer, the comedian and the father and son magicians were in the top three and I really wanted the comedian through. Thankfully all the judges sent through the comedian.

The rest of the acts are up for the public vote, I really want Yakub through, he's so cute and very talented. But I think we don't find out who's through until the final.

Then I watched Brooklyn 99 and Jake was talking about why he became a detective and it was from reading a book as a kid. The guy who wrote it went in and he was going to be spending time with Jake and Amy. 

The guy found their way of doing things boring. They caught the criminal and the man said Jake was like the guys in his day, then they went out drinking.

Jake had complained about Holt when he was drunk, so he went to get the man not to publish it, but he ended up punching the man. Jake told Holt it was because he was going to publish what he'd said, but it was actually because the man had called Holt a homo.

Rosa was a witness, so she had to go to court ,but she had never been good at it. Terry and Charles tried to help her and it was pretty funny when she went up on the stand. She was messing up, so Terry and Charles told her to go to her happy place and when she did she was a lot better.

When they asked about her happy place she was imagining killing the lawyer, it was funny.

I watched Breaking Bad and Walter was in the boot of the car with Jesse, Tuco got them out and he was going to kill Jesse, but Walter stopped him. 

Tuco brought them to a house and made them empty their pockets and they had the meth that would kill Tuco, but Jesse said it had chilli powder in it, which Tuco hated.

Tuco wanted them to go to Mexico with them to make meth, but they said they couldn't. He went and cooked and Walter and Jesse were trying to work out what to do. 

They all went to eat and while Tuco was getting the old man in the wheelchair, Walter put the poisonous meth into his food. Unfortunately the old guy used his bell to warn Tuco that the stuff was bad.

Then Tuco nearly killed them both, but Jesse whacked him with a rock and then shot him, I thought he should've shot him in the head to be sure he was dead, but they left him.

Skyler and her family were worried about Walter because he had gone missing, so Hank tracked down Jesse's car and went out to Tuco's place. There was a gunfight between him and Tuco, thankfully he shot Tuco in the head.

Jesse had to get rid of his cooking equipment in the basement, so he put it in the RV and got his friend's cousin to tow it, but it used up a lot of his money. 

He got arrested and Hank was questioning him. Unfortunately they got the money that was in Jesse's car, but he was released because there wasn't enough evidence and he said his car had been stolen.

Walter got naked in a shop, he was pretending that he'd had a blackout so that he didn't have to explain why he was gone. He had to stay at the hospital because they wanted to figure out what was wrong with him. He talked to a psychiatrist and said he did it to get away from his life for a while and then let him go the next day.

Bye for today, I hope you're all doing well.
