So, my brother has lent me Season 1 of Chuck. It's... um? Fun? But painful?

I got through episode one in one piece, but the dinner scene in episode two nearly killed me, nevermind the helicopter, and I'm having to watch the art auction in episode three in fits and starts a few seconds at a time. I like the characters! The plots are geek fantasy! The dialogue is snappy! But suspension of disbelief, uh, what suspension? And my embarrassment squick keeps redlining, ugh. I'm not sure how far I'll make it. At some point I'll have to give up, read a plot summary, and dive on into fandom.

Anyway. In other news, I am still up for auction at help_japan. I have two lovely bids so far, for my offer to write 1,500 words of fic; any one else care to join in? =)

I am so glad someone else suffers from second hand embarrassment as badly as I do. I keep fast forwarding and cringing and yelling and flailing and almost dying when people do embarrassing things on TV.

I know! My parents mock me for it; I have been known to get up from comedies at their house to go "get tea" or something and tell them not to bother pausing to cover for my embarrassment, but they eventually caught on, and now they always pause it anyway so they can watch me cringe when I get back. *sigh*

That is exactly what I do! I run to get water, make tea, go to the bathroom or feed the friggin' cats.

My mom knows why and lets me, even though she's very amused. My dad, on the other hand, always pauses because he thinks he's being nice and I'm all like, no, please, for the love of chocolate, leave it alone!!!

My friends, especially the male ones, all love to watch me cringe, though. They've been known to rewind just so they could watch me facepalm one more time. Meanies.
