Greetings, Eunuchs Reverberated Inaudible Contralto---
Here is your horoscope for Tuesday, February 09, 2010 (We are pretty sure that a number of you were wondering why in the h3ll your morning visit to Eric’s Daily Horoscope here in beautiful downtown Bloggonia entailed your staring at a pixture of Dylan, and Brandon, and Brenda, and a whole bunch of other Peach Pit denizens rockin’ their 90s duds and dos. Well, this morning, when We Our Own Selves got up out of bed and stumbled to the kitchen and poured Ourselves a cup of ambition, We were greeted by an email from Yurrup. London, Yurrup, to be exact. Said email, which contained the multi-colored (and yet alarmingly Caucasian) pixture, announced that it was 90210 Day. Because, of course, in Yurrup, they write their dates DD/MM/YY. So today would be 09/02/10, or 9/2/10 (because why would you ever write or not write one zero (sorry, zed) but not write or not write the other?) We fired off a return email, in which We pointed out that over here in The Colonies, 90210 Day would actually be in September, but in retrospect (this clearly being a retro kind of morning) We feel We may have been a bit hasty. Why not just celebrate 90210 Day twice? After all, any excuse for a party and all that. Especially with Snowpocalypse II: Electric Boogaloo on its way.)
(Besides, We would still fu(k Ian Ziering.)
(So slap some mousse into your ‘do, stick some Nirvana on the boombox, and let’s party like it’s 1992! The only thing We’ll guarantee is that 90210 Day, much like every other day around these parts, will be Anything Can Happen Day.)
(The fact that Micro$oft Weird™ doesn’t recognize the word “boogaloo”, while alarming, certainly explains a great deal.) :
(We can’t wait to see what the Random Adz Generator generates based on this mess.)
(You may only skim the following if you are n@ked. Or if you’ve already bought tickets: please hurry on down to my house, honey, and buy your tickets to the WaitStaff’s VD show Desperate and Dateless at the World CafĂ© Live at 7:30 on Friday, February 19th: http://tickets.worldcafelive.com/eventperformances.asp?evt=3418 .)
(Our-O-Scope…)
If you don't have a dream, how you gonna make a dream come true? (Also, if I can’t have you, I don’t want nobody, baby. (That’s not true. We’re not especially picky. P3nis, pulse, and paycheck. Tell your friends.))
As they asked many moon ago, in that lovely old song. (Clearly, Kelli is dating herself. Or, in this case, carbon-dating herself, as she is referencing a song that appears to be older than We are. Which is obviously impossible, as dinosaurs didn’t have opposing thumbs and, consequently, generally didn’t play the accordion. Unless, of course, you listen to the creationists, in which case you are liable to believe that dinosaurs made up the band on the Titanic. Yes, indeed, ladies and gerbils, that was Dino DinoSaurio and the Reptilianaires playing Nearer My God To Thee.)
(Gee, We sure hope Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet decided to n@kedly skim Eric’s Daily Horoscope today, or they’re in for an acid flashback nightmare of epic proportions.)
Your dreams and goals, what you wish for yourself and your goals - all of these are to be highlighted from today onwards for the next few weeks. (Was it just Us, or did the word “goals” appear one too many times in that sentence?)
Now is the time to think about your expectations. (We’re expecting? Well, that certainly explains the size of Our @ssz.)
Are you hoping and wishing for something which is starting to seem like it's really never going to happen? (No. This very weekend, We shall win PowerBall™ and marry Johnny Depp. We have Creatively ViZZZualized it, so it cannot fail to happen. In other news, you c00zesniffing @sshatted tw@tlick, We come here for answers, not to be asked stupid questions. KThxBye.)
Is there anything you can do, a last ditch effort, to try to turn things around your way? (Hmm…find an Ass(tromalogical) Ho(roscopulist who doesn’t ask so many g0dd@mn questions?)
And if not, is there any point clinging on to this dream or is there perhaps some other channel you can put your energies into? (Well, ever since the WB turned into the CW, We’re not quite sure how to channel Our energies. And, seriously, ANOTHER question?)
Or perhaps all is not lost and there is someone you know - socially, or through another network - who can help you? (Heh…get it? “Channel”…”network”…”Shut”…”Up”…”Kelli”.)
Think about it. (Think about this: in anticipation of the latest weather ab0rtion, we at the WaitStaff preemptively cancelled Our scheduled Wednesday rehearsal. What this should mean is that not a particle of snow falls on or anywhere near Us, much like carrying an umbrella prevents the rain. This, however, is trumped by the fact that the weather is going to happen to Us, and if We don’t soon get the h3ll out of this house We are going to go stark staring mad, so not only will there be three feet of snow, there will also be hourly snow enemas, which will somehow not result in Us getting any thinner. Our world and welcome to it.)
This is most definitely the time to be considering the people around you that you're somehow hooked up to. (If you are going to tell Us that Johnny Depp and Ian Ziering ran off together, We are going to stick our fingers in Our ears and sing la-la-la-la-la-la till you go away.)
It's also a good time to be assessing if your dreams and goals are your own or the result of peer pressure. (Hey, it’s 90210 Day…it’s a Yurrupean national holiday. All this “assessing” sounds an awful lot like work. P1ss off, d1ckweed.)

So many worthwhile blogs have come and gone -- The WoW Report with its
fascinating posts by Stephen Rutledge comes to mind. But what I find

If we see nary a snowflake today or tomorrow, I shall nominate you for the position of Weather Queen #1 in recognition of your superior weather powers.
ReplyDeleteIn other news, I will fight you to the death for Ian Ziering (which sounds like Ian's earring when said aloud).
Happy 90210 day!
As the sun is still shining, We are about to further tempt fate by going into town sans both umbrella and Power Rangers snowsuit. A snow cloud shall no doubt appear over Our very head and turn Us into an Abdominal Snowman.
ReplyDeleteIn other news, a Pepsi ad? The hell?
Have you cuntsidered seeing if Kelli is interested in becoming one of your readers? That might be a fun idea (if you aren't afraid that might produce a cease and desist order, that is).
ReplyDeleteCC, who wants more juicy details for her book...
Kelli is more a construct than a reality these days. So, while she is not the potential source of a cease and desist order, she is also not a potential reader.
ReplyDeleteWhen I initially read the blog, there were ads for things in Beverly Hills. The ads apparently change from time to time.
ReplyDeleteOh. And *I* was in high school when 90210 hit the airwaves, but I don'y have the vaguest recollection whatsoever of that boy all the way over there on the right. Surely, he developed a severe heroin addiction with the money he was paid for appearing in this ad still and soon either was fired or died.
ReplyDelete(Also, is it just me or is it already clear by her stance that Shannon Dougherty was going to become a problem?)
Didn't they "shockingly" kill off a major character in a car crash during the first season? Or do I have this mixed up with Sesame Street?
ReplyDelete(I still haven't recovered from the crossdresser adz from Effeminate Rockclimber Day.)
Oh. Yes. That was the character of Scott Scanlon (played by Douglas Emerson), who shot himself. It just goes to show you that suicide is NOT how to go if you want to be remembered.
ReplyDeleteCar crash, suicide, whatevs.
ReplyDeleteI just Googled him...90210 was apparently his one and only claim to fame. That, and the fact that he was born the day after you were.
Ah, sign me up for Dylan, please!
ReplyDeletePS, it wasn't suicide - he killed himself on accident, playing with a gun at his birthday party. I seem to be the only one who remembers that...
ReplyDeleteOf course, I don't have to remember anymore. My flatmate is from a small town in Germany that only got two channels, neither of which were the 90210 channel. So he didn't know the history about the reoccurring characters in the new 90210, so we are watching the old ones today.
Warning: if you decide this is something you want to do, ensure you have a few drinks in you before watching any episode.
Why does nobody ever bring a loaded gun to MY birthday party?
ReplyDeleteI only watched 90210 sketchily the first time around. For instance, I wasn't watching when the ugly kid killed hisself, but I remember it got a lot of press.
Also, Shaun, are you just reading these later, or in some digest form, or are you actually GETTING them later?
I am not exactly sure how often, but the app I use to receive the blogs in my eMails happens x number of times a day, so there is some delay. Also, I can't get personal eMail at work, so I never see them till I am home.
ReplyDeletewell, do you have a newer blog than this one? ("this one" is the 90210 one; the newer one would be called "Romeo was restless, he was ready to kill")
ReplyDeleteNope! I haven't seen the "Romeo was restless" one yet...
ReplyDeleteAh. So whenever it last "digested", it didn't pick up the new entry from approximately 10 or 11AM my time. (Google SO needs to hire me to kick their user-unfriendly asses.)
