Meet Taiga Lily!

So my nephew Sam rescued a baby kitten and my sister-in-law bottle fed her and yesterday Mr. AC and I took her home with us. She is unbelievably fierce and only stops "playing" (aka biting us) when it is time to sleep, at which point she will cuddle up, but she definitely prefers biting to anything else right now. No portion of the human anatomy is safe with TL in da house. I am trying to work from home today to make sure she settles in nicely, but she refuses to let me actually work... in fact, she's not letting me write this post. More later... if she lets me.

Bandai Water Bottle Toys Offer All the Cuteness of a Waterborne Parasite, None of the Diarrhea

From gizmodo, Here's a Japanese cultural phenomenon you'll probably have to strain to understand: small toy creatures that float around in water bottles like captured alien parasites. Odd? Definitely. Adorable? Kind of.

The toys appear to be passive, in that they aren't motorized, and rely on the micro-tides in your water bottle to propel them—along with their waving, limp tentacles—to and fro in your water bottle, and at six dollars they're hardly expensive. On thing: although you can be fairly comfortable that these little guys won't lay eggs in your intestines, it seems like we've got a sort of ship/bottle scenario here. If they're small enough to fit into your Evian bottle, aren't they small enough to come back out and choke you to death?

"Transformers 2" Dominates in UK and Japan

From worstpreviews, Michael Bay's "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" has already been released in two foreign markets, opening in first place in the UK ($14 million) and Japan ($6 million) during the weekend for a total of $20 million from 846 theaters.

The sequel has outperformed the original's opening weekends by 71% in the UK and 13% in Japan, according to Paramount Pictures. "Revenge" is set to open worldwide on Wednesday (June 24th).

The new film is performing very well in advance ticket sales, outselling both the original movie and "Star Trek," which is currently the highest grossing film of 2009.
