Threat Level Raised To Orca Fat

on thursday nights i have national security policy. uber interesting, yet uber intense. the class is designed as a mock national security council, complete w/staff meetings on current events and their implications on the US. w/the exception of this past class, we're normally assigned a book a wk and 80-100 pgs of additional readings. i like it a lot cuz it's the only time during the wk that i get to see some of my favorite people, tho i tend to spend the entire 2.5 hrs sitting in fear that i'll be called on and either have nothing to offer or say something incredibly stupid...

some of us go out for drinks afterwards, and after a class like that, a beer is always a welcomed sight. besides being a chance to hang out w/friends, the after-school treat also tends to be an opportunity to continue whatever discussion we've already started. among the topics last night was an uber funny discussion on the recent size of my waistline. so in the spirit of national security, i've been elevated from husky to fat to, now most recently, ORCA FAT.

any idea how big an orca is? it's HUGE. see the comparison on the right? if that doesn't help, think free willy. now think free willy w/my face on it and long hair. except for the knowing-how-to-swim part, that's me.

i'm starting a new diet tmrw. it involves sticking my finger down my throat and brushing my teeth a lot...
