Just leaving this here as a burst of inspiration (AKA Me actually having to do it because I promised so): I plan on going through all of the episodes of BTIOFL and writing down all of the quotes I found particularly insightful, or just filled with feels. If there was one that particularly stuck with you, feel free to comment and make my job easier!!!!!
So, seeing as I would be doing so much this Halloween (Staying inside my house, not having anyone over, and everyone gone), I decided to dress up as our favorite 90’s time slip idol with the best fashion sense ever.
Aardvarks are solitary animals and only come together to mate. So it’s like me! Only… instead of “mate” it’s “Fangirl over things no one in my area cares about”.
Apparently this is NOT my 500th comment and I just can’t read (or my computer was being sketchy, which is to be expected), so now, if you do not mind, I am going to go dig a whole and die in my own embarrassment.
Challenge Accepted: Bagged milk is insane. I lived in Canada for four years and am still baffled by it. (I get that it’s better packaging for the environment but still, no.) If you cut the hole to big, it’s a problem, too small it’s annoying. If you have drunk housemates who are animals and rip it, you just get a mess.
Just… nip the tip. If its to small, make it bigger, I find it easy, but maybe that’s just because I was raised with it? But like, it’s better tasting then the stuff sold in the carton (Personal opinion), and if you are an avid milk drinker, having it in the separate bags keeps it from going bad as quickly as if you got a huge plastic jug of it.
As for cutting, apparently there are these little gadget sharp things that are designed specifically for opening the bag. I’m not sure how well they work, as I have only ever used scissors.
Also, your housemates are monsters. The worst that has happened (for milk) was fainting and waking up in puddle of it. But ripping it???? Horror
I’m like, 98% sure my housemate once used her teeth to rip open a bag. I didn’t witness it, but the evidence was there. Also she was a psychopath and totally disgusting, which like, I have a really high threshold for grossness so that’s saying something. I’m so glad I never have to see her again. (This is me being really nice about her, by the way.)
We totally had one of those little gadgets and kept losing it even though it HAD a magnet so it’d be stuck to the fridge, but…honestly there was no explanation.
To be fair, I can’t speak to taste because I’ve never liked milk on its own. I only really keep it around now for tea or cereal. But I still think bagged milk is madness.
I wouldn’t say it is madness as it is the more popular milk drinking method is using the bags. But then again, Canadians can be a bit crazy so take of that what you will.
Bagged water on the other hand….
Now that is madness
No, what is madness is Boxed Water which I see at Freshii and few other lunch places and which just makes me go WHYYYYYYYYY? I know us Americans are silly in many ways, but this is just beyond dumb. (I also just generally think that bottled water is a waste, but I also carry a reusable bottle most of the time.)
Boxed water????
Great, that won’t taste like cardboard at all. (Freshii?? Restaurant chain?)
And as someone who constantly forgets their water bottles, plastic water bottles – although occasionally annoying- can save someone like me who easily gets dehydrated.
Plus my boss gave me a water bottle that is is like 3Ls for free, so I am contractually obliged to argue on their behalf.
Freshii is a salad/wrap “healthy” chain – I’ve def seen it in Toronto, though I don’t know about the rest of Canada. Pretty good bowls, though. But yeah, boxed water. It’s a thing.
I get buying water when you need to, but it just feels so wasteful too. But I also get dehydrated easily so I need water all the time. I have a giant bottle on my desk at home 24/7, plus one in the fridge and a smaller one at work that gets refilled like three times a day, so I’m usually overprepared.
As a New Zealander, who has been to Canada, and who has been spoilt with grass fed milk her entire life (yay for one of the best dairy industries in the world), sold in 3L plastic bottles that are recyclable, and that I could easily drink one of in a week by herself… I have to say, I’m still with the Bottled side on this one.
I don’t know much about the taste different between plastic and the bags (I do, however, find the cardboard carton taste to be… different), but wouldn’t it go bad quicker? Cause it is getting more exposed, and for those who don’t easily go through a jug a week, I think it would get spoiled faster.
But then again I am a wee lil’ lass who just may not know any better and is possibly (extremely) biased towards this really really odd contraption that makes you wonder just how someone could have thought this up.
Also they’re great for throwing at people. Not that I would have ever done that because violence is never the way to go.
I don’t really see how it’d spoil quicker in a bag vs. a bottle. Since it’s UV light and exposure to heat that makes it go off. If you left it in the sun- bag or bottle, I think it’d spoil either way. As long as you put it back in the fridge you’re fine. Also you can buy smaller bottles here if you’re not a big milk drinker, and non-transparent bottles if one thinks that helps…
Although now I sort of want to conduct one of those high school science experiments to find out haha.
Hahahahaha and now I also want to see a slow mo vid of someone getting hit with a face full of bagged milk… thanks… -.-
It’s a Canadian thing. You can buy the bags in a bag that gives you three bags, and you put it in this jug thing that has its top lobbed off, then you take some sharp appliance and nip off the tip, and voila, the milk flows out. It’s great if you have a huge love for milk and drink a lot of it.
Taking a brief break from my internet crisis to give you this news:
My friend is watching the Drama Man to Man right now (It’s her fourth drama) and has recently (two minutes ago) informed me that she has her eye on Park Hae-Jin.
So, To all Park Hae-Jin stans- There is a new person on the block.
I’m with the “sharing is caring” crowd. After all, there is a pro to this. Since she now has someone who has hooked her in, you now have a drama friend. 😄
Just do what I do: Duct tape them down to a chair and force them to watch a series (any one, it doesn’t matter) threaten their existence if they don’t like it. Hide from the cops for a bit. Rinse, repeat.
So. A small peaceful update.
I can no longer watch any videos at my house for the rest of my month due to the internet screwing us over (again).
The list of things I cannot watch includes: YouTube, downloading, podcasts, and pretty much anything that is not solely text based. Oh. And any drama watching.
Don\’t let the lack of cap locks confuse you into thinking that I am okay with this. I am very much NOT okay with this. I still am behind on all of the airing dramas, and was planning on binging variety shows. Now I can\’t.
But it\’s okay.
It\’s totally okay.
I am totally okay with this.
Completely absolutely fine.
Now excuse me while I go smash a block of concrete into pieces.
Like, I can go to town to watch them, but the WiFi there is terrible (It takes 5 hours to get through a single episode. Oh how I love rural life). But worst part is, THE INTERNET IS RIGHT HERE. It is so easy just to click open a tab and watch it. But I can’t. But I still can. And that is what hurts.
Pretty much yeah. They’re the only thing that can actually properly run at my place thanks to the wonderful huge thick leafy trees. It wasn’t until a year ago that I even got high speed internet that’s how bad it is here. (I use the term “High Speed” very lightly. It’s more… “Not-at-the-pace-as-a-snail-glued-to-the-floor speed”)
that happened to me too, I waited patiently for a week but when I had enough I had to call our internet provider, a little pressuring goes a long way I tell you
So I was wondering if any of you would be interested in reading a “Better” version of Criminal Minds. Kinda like a rewritten ending to lessen the sting, only for the entire drama. I’m just asking before I put hours of work into writing it…..
“Hours”? 😰 I don’t think I can write that much. I’m not quite sure exactly how I’m going to present it, but the most it will be is 10 pages… And that is at the most!
Haha sorry I didn’t mean to worry you 😅 Just got a lil overenthusiastic that’s all. Write according to your heart’s muse. I’ll read anything you write for CM 😊😊
Ok, after looking at its shell and its legs and its toes it looks like either a Russian Tortoise or an African Spur Thigh. The internet is like super stingy with its tortoise identification. Like. Chill out internet. Its ok to share.
African Spur Thing description
Description: They are the largest African Tortoise. Broad, flat carapace. They have thick skin to hold water. Growth rings are obvious. Adult males have reverted marginal scales in the front. They have spurs (like claws) on the legs. Males are a little bigger as adults. Females have a slightly flatter carapace and males have slightly concave plastrons.
Russian Description
The Russian tortoise is a small tortoise species, with a size range of 13–25 cm (5–10 in). Females grow slightly larger (15–25 cm [6–10 in]) to accommodate more eggs. Males average 13–20 cm (5–8 in).
They are herbivores and feed on weeds and wild flowers.
Russian tortoises are sexually dimorphic. Males tend to have longer tails generally tucked to the side, and longer claws; females have a short, fat tail, with shorter claws than the males. The male has a slit-shaped vent (cloaca) near the tip of its tail; the female has an asterisk-shaped vent (cloaca). Russian tortoises have four toes. Coloration varies, but the shell is usually a ruddy brown or black, fading to yellow between the scutes, and the body is straw-yellow and brown depending on the subspecies.
The male Russian tortoise courts a female through head bobbing, circling, and biting her forelegs. When she submits, he mounts her from behind, making high-pitched squeaking noises during mating.[6]
Could someone lend this Aardvark a hand and help identify this breed if tortoise? Unfortunately my knowledge of reptiles isn’t as grand as my knowledge of random African wildlife…. (Although I do know a bit, just not a lot)
And any other facts you might have about then would be appreciated too.
I posted a couple of pictures, but it’s pretty much the same thing. I scrolled through the images, but I personally couldn’t see anything other then the same angles.
Helllooo Beanies, Happy (Oh my gosh it’s) Saturday (WHERE HAS THE WEEK GONE!)!
Seeing as it has been [31]days since our last burst of useless knowledge:
Here are some facts about Aardvarks you do(n’t) need to know!
So do remember from a previous post, how aardvarks are basically badassess and they got awesomely strong claws and front legs(?) that are good for attacking and digging holes (It’s okay if you don’t remember, I don’t either.)
Well, basically, Aardvarks have earned the reputation of being the cutest (alright, it’s actually proficient, but they’re cute too) diggers of all African mammals. How crazy awesome are they? Well, they can dig a meter of a tunnel in five minutes!
Plus, once they’ve done their deed and move on, the holes they leave behind provide shelter for at least 17 mammal species and a hidey hole from all the big bads that want to eat them.
You know, two weeks doesn’t seem like a lot of time until you realize just how many episodes you are behind o.O Plus Recaps and casting new- it feels like I’ve been gone a year.
Hehe, don’t worry, soon will be back to our regularly scheduled Aardvark program (It is getting harder to find facts though. Oh well.)
As for how I have been? Well, It feels like I’ve just come back after being a hermit on a mountain.
I’m doing good! 😊 DB was down for awhile and they were testing some new features and we were able to see the test. Some are on thr fan posts. It’s about DB shop! They have Music, DVD, Kbeauty, Drama collectibles, Beanie Loot… It will be fun! I am so excited! 😊
The problem with that is, the second his mother offers me money, Imma take it. I mean, I got post secondary education to worry about, and that is expensive. (Plus, from the knowledge of the trope, once he gets his memory back, he is probably going to be a bit of a dick, and I ain’t into that entire Push-Pull shpeel.)
Its the push pull, man. Drama leads do it ALL THE TIME. They are sweet to you–and then their jerks again. Like the sweet and sour gummy candy commercials. (they don’t like you, aardvark–we do, though! We can’t get you on the internet though)
I have actually gone insane. I now believe that every drama should have an amnesia sideline, the Truck of Doom should be a Major character, and all the male leads should be some incarnation of hell yet still get the girl.
If that isn’t insanity, I don’t know what is.
(I don’t actually believe that, please don’t burn me at a stake)
I will never get over the fact a living person looked at a group of crows and thought to himself: You know what would be a good name to describe this natural grouping of birds? A murder.

Like, I can go to town to watch them, but the WiFi there is terrible (It takes 5 hours to get through a single episode. Oh how I love rural life). But worst part is, THE INTERNET IS RIGHT HERE. It is so easy just to click open a tab and watch it. But I can’t. But I still can. And that is what hurts.

Pretty much yeah. They’re the only thing that can actually properly run at my place thanks to the wonderful huge thick leafy trees. It wasn’t until a year ago that I even got high speed internet that’s how bad it is here. (I use the term “High Speed” very lightly. It’s more… “Not-at-the-pace-as-a-snail-glued-to-the-floor speed”)

So I was wondering if any of you would be interested in reading a “Better” version of Criminal Minds. Kinda like a rewritten ending to lessen the sting, only for the entire drama. I’m just asking before I put hours of work into writing it…..

September 28, 2017 at 8:29 PM
Ok, after looking at its shell and its legs and its toes it looks like either a Russian Tortoise or an African Spur Thigh. The internet is like super stingy with its tortoise identification. Like. Chill out internet. Its ok to share.
African Spur Thing description
Description: They are the largest African Tortoise. Broad, flat carapace. They have thick skin to hold water. Growth rings are obvious. Adult males have reverted marginal scales in the front. They have spurs (like claws) on the legs. Males are a little bigger as adults. Females have a slightly flatter carapace and males have slightly concave plastrons.
Russian Description
The Russian tortoise is a small tortoise species, with a size range of 13–25 cm (5–10 in). Females grow slightly larger (15–25 cm [6–10 in]) to accommodate more eggs. Males average 13–20 cm (5–8 in).
They are herbivores and feed on weeds and wild flowers.
Russian tortoises are sexually dimorphic. Males tend to have longer tails generally tucked to the side, and longer claws; females have a short, fat tail, with shorter claws than the males. The male has a slit-shaped vent (cloaca) near the tip of its tail; the female has an asterisk-shaped vent (cloaca). Russian tortoises have four toes. Coloration varies, but the shell is usually a ruddy brown or black, fading to yellow between the scutes, and the body is straw-yellow and brown depending on the subspecies.
The male Russian tortoise courts a female through head bobbing, circling, and biting her forelegs. When she submits, he mounts her from behind, making high-pitched squeaking noises during mating.[6]

Ah yes, thank you for the mating details. One of the most essential pieces of information to be knows.

September 28, 2017 at 7:13 PM
Could someone lend this Aardvark a hand and help identify this breed if tortoise? Unfortunately my knowledge of reptiles isn’t as grand as my knowledge of random African wildlife…. (Although I do know a bit, just not a lot)
And any other facts you might have about then would be appreciated too.
isa: I'm not a serial killer I'm just really passionate about things
September 28, 2017 at 7:25 PM
Are there any other pictures? Specifically of the top and the bottom of the shell?
aardvark

Maybe? It’s from a Drama called Love me if you dare, so I’m not sure if there are any exact pictures….

Helllooo Beanies, Happy (Oh my gosh it’s) Saturday (WHERE HAS THE WEEK GONE!)!
Seeing as it has been [31]days since our last burst of useless knowledge:
Here are some facts about Aardvarks you do(n’t) need to know!
So do remember from a previous post, how aardvarks are basically badassess and they got awesomely strong claws and front legs(?) that are good for attacking and digging holes (It’s okay if you don’t remember, I don’t either.)
Well, basically, Aardvarks have earned the reputation of being the cutest (alright, it’s actually proficient, but they’re cute too) diggers of all African mammals. How crazy awesome are they? Well, they can dig a meter of a tunnel in five minutes!
Plus, once they’ve done their deed and move on, the holes they leave behind provide shelter for at least 17 mammal species and a hidey hole from all the big bads that want to eat them.
What a champ.

I have actually gone insane. I now believe that every drama should have an amnesia sideline, the Truck of Doom should be a Major character, and all the male leads should be some incarnation of hell yet still get the girl.
If that isn’t insanity, I don’t know what is.
