Zoobilee Zoo

My weekend ended with bestiality. Or zoophilia. Are they the same thing? I'm not sure, which is where I think the documentary Zoo failed. Failed to meet my documentary needs, anyway. The movie tells the story of a group of people who, through the powers that be on the Internet, get together to occasionally get it on with farm animals. Unfortunately, a high-profile (high-ranking Boeing employee) horse lover dies from internal bleeding after a night of animal relations goes wrong.


The movie was interesting enough, I particularly liked a point of view provided by a horse advocate, but it didn't give me much insight into this world of unconventional attraction. It was more of a long, slow news story than a detailed look into a people and passion I (still) know nothing about. Much more could have been explored: How common is zoophilia? Are some animals more popular than others? More prevalent in men or women?


Maybe I'm a weirdo for wanting to know this stuff, but when I watch a documentary, I want to learn more than I could find on my own by browsing the Internet.


Final thought: I wonder how long it will be before I get fired, considering I wrote this at work and googled "zoophilia" while doing so.

No List for This

Because I never imagined I would visit a strip club ever, much less so soon into the new year, I failed to include "Strip Clubs" as one of my list categories for 2010. But because I believe this will be a one-time adventure, I'm content to record it only in a blog post, without immortalizing it more with a list.

Not feeling compelled to write at length about this outing, I'll simply present a few details:

1. Name - Ziegfeld's/Secrets
2. Cover charge - $13
3. 1st floor - Drag show (a lame one, from what I saw)
4. 2nd floor - the strip club portion
5. Clientele - I was one of about 5 women in the place, as this is a gay strip club. All women entrants were required to have a male escort.

There wasn't very much stripping. The dancers were already stripped, except for socks and shoes. I can't imagine I'll be returning, but at least I can cross it off my list. Even if I didn't know it was on there in the first place.
