I pass the house of an acquaintance. He's a gay dinosaur. A bipedal species, about human-size, a little smaller (but that fits his attitude: classic FGS--feisty gay shorty. Classic except for the scales.) Scaled, tailed, with a very dino head--snout, earholes, fangs, slit gold eyes. A bright red cockatoo/dragon crest, like a retractable Mohawk.

I hear a party inside his place. I decide to crash it in hopes of meeting dino girls. I happen to think they're cute. Those big wise eyes...

Oops. Not a party at all--a solemn ceremony for the extended family. Dozens of dinosaurs in yarmulkes. They're Jewish, and it's a holiday I know nothing about.

I give him my respects, say I dropped in on impulse, wanted to give him best wishes... and leave him to it. A brief interruption that puzzles him more than offends, I think.

I head on to my school--Super Mutant Magic Academy. Lots of dinosaurs, of course. And aliens, robots, werewolves, centaurs, you name it. Oh, those cute mutant girls... There's someone for everyone.

Even dinophiliacs.

NOTES NEXT MORNING

• Yarmulkes: I just can't see how crested dinos CAN wear hats, dinky or not. I mean, the second you get excited, sproinnnng... (like dicks, but up at eye level!) But then, I've never understood how yarmulkes stay even on human heads. Glue?
• My school & classmates: I just read Super Mutant Magic Academy by Jillian Tamaki. A book collecting daily webcomics that just wander at first--random scenes at this multispecies school--but by year's end, at their prom, the scenes jell into quite a moving story. Wendy the adorable fox-girl, sigh, I'm in love... just like Marsha, Wendy's babydike best friend (but oh, how she wishes she were more) who stands in for the author.
