people watching

I spent most of yesterday with the female A. The zoo, a movie at Pix. In both places, the people watching was amazing.

Zoo: I had forgotten how many children there are in the world. The zoo ($2 Tuesday) was crowded with fieldtrips, toddlers in strollers, etc. If the children ever want to revolt against adult oppression, the zoo would be an ideal place for the revolution to begin. While waiting to see the 'Sea Lion Training,' A and I began watching the parents and spawn going past us. We searched for a parent with one child strapped to his/her front, one strapped to the back, and one in a stroller. We decided that a pregnancy could take the place of the child strapped to the front. We did not see our trifecta.

Another happy non-sighting: I saw no animals masturbating. The last time I went to the zoo, I watched a sea otter fellate itself.

Pix: a very different crowd, nearly all of age. They were showing Everyone Says I Love You, which I love. Beside me was a couple, a very physically affectionate couple. Slightly offputting. Towards the end of the movie, a group of friends walked in. They stood by the counter and ogled the desserts. One of the men in the group kept touching his female companion: asscrack, in the back pocket of her jeans (very Freaks and Geeks), beneath her sweater. It was entertaining to watch his hand wander, although it looked awkward for both of them.
