For my birthday this year I get to quarantine for two weeks because a good friend of mine on my wing got COVID. Nice.

Ouch. Be safe.

Think of it as a staycation?

At least it wasn’t bird flu?

Exciting! Hope you don’t have it as well.

Have you tested yet? Can you shorten that by testing negative? or is this just some policy sort of thing?

Gonna try to schedule a nasal swab test so I can hopefully get out of quarantining. I’m asymptomatic, so I think there’s a good chance I’m fine.

In a tiny dorm I’m sharing with a roommate which I can’t leave except to poop. Yippee...

While you’re stranded anyway...

How can I keep an eye out for the Jeep LEGO? Where/when will it be announced and how can I buy it once it is?

Ia your steam/xbox/playstation account up to date and ready?

Yeah, I know it  sucks. Okay, so much for looking on the bright side then. At least you’ll have us for company. And you can have a belated celebration after.

I swear, if that bird just gave me CORVID-19...

It hasn’t been officially ann ounced yet (the only photo we have of it was leaked), but based on past trends I would guess it will be officially revealed sometime in November or December and will most likely go on sale January 2021, or at least no later than March. Although sometimes in late December, stores that have received shipments of new Lego will put out new sets for sale early. I’m excited for it myself and want to see better pictures of it, so I’ll probably post more about it once official images are available.

Have you seen Sc hitt’s Creek? Corvid 19 would be a hell of a title for the next crow movie the mom in that show was doing.

Thanks.

I don’t have those (sigh). At least not at my dorm.

Well, I’ll try to make the best of it. And if the nasal swab goes well, I may be able to get out of this sooner.

Thanks, looking forward to it.

Nope, haven’t seen it. I’ve heard it’s good, but I’m guessing it can’t be streamed for free...

You should watch it, it’s pretty awesome. I have done torrents since I lived overseas, I just get what I want to see.

In the meantime, here’s a Jeep-ish alternate model of the Lego Fiat 500 set somebody at Lego made in their spare time:

Apparently, instructions are available. https://www.flickr.com/photos/nkubate/50520697332/

No, even worse. CORVID-20, which is like CORVID-19 except you DON'T temporarily gain the ability to fly.

Order in some lego and make big birds.  Bigger birds.

Well, happy birthday! Have a random photo I took:

This isn’t gonna be fun. You should see if you’ve got some gamers on your floor and try to get into something with them to pass the time.

I at least have the company of my roommate and some games I brought with me, and we might end up trying to do some Minecraft if we can get it installed on his computer.

Ah, good song, that. I know it sounds trashy but Fortnite is free and fun with friends.

Thanks but no thanks. I can’t bring myself to play Fortnite.

Well my friend is very much not a gamer so I wanted something he could play on a PC easily during the lockdown and it was much more fun than I expected.

True, but for me, 1) Fortnite is cringe, and 2) some of the tac tics they use to try to ensnare younger players are downright scummy, I’ve heard too many horror stories, and I don’t want to support it.

Yeah the whole way they make money off it is exploitive.
