Too Big to Fail

krislaughsI purchased HBO for the incestuous Game of Thrones but stayed for the Wall Street/Washington lovechild of Too Big to Fail. (and Trueblood. Still waiting for my new season of trashy vampires.)
Officially the best scene ever: Hank Paulson excuses himself to go puke.
I probably shouldn't have laughed so hard. I was on an internship in Colorado when all this went down, trying to make sense of it while talking to my Citi-employed mother on the phone.
Also: Billy Crudup as Geitner. I don't even know why I find that so funny.
Um, and Topher Grace exclaiming "Clusterfuck!" in the halls of congress FTW. Not to mention: "If we hang a few wall street execs, that would get a few votes." This is HIlarious-- especially because we're hardly beyond the crisis yet. It's like the loopiness that sets in around five in the morning when you're pulling an allnighter at work.
Seriously, a good movie for the laughs if not the srs drama yo.

In other news, I'm fostering another puppy. She's about a 8mo-1yr old pitt. Not entirely housebroken, but trying, a big lovebug. I call her "bug."
Her people were arrested a few days ago, and the humane society took her from the abandoned house.
I relly REALLY want her to get a good home. If she passes my (rigorous) tests for being a good house dog, I will try to convince my parents to adopt. Even though they've been reluctant to go for a pitty.
