Hello, Ducks!
Starzina
Starfish-Browne here with your Eric’s! Daily! Horoscope! for GoodPieRupeeTuesdayWeldsCornAndWeDon’tKarenCarpenterAndYouWereALadyIsATramp…(sorry;
Our needle got stuck. (In a vein. Pumping heroin.)), March 19, 2013. Happy Belated Birthday to Scott, who turned
twenty-four yesterday. While We were at
tech rehearsal. At 10:30. AM. In the morning. For those of you in the biz who know what
tech rehearsal is, We were finished AND HOME by 1:30. Smell Us and be jealous.
(Scott,
if you are reading this, it’s Kathleen’s one-woman show; see links below.)
Here
is the SitOnOurFaceBook event where you can find out all about the show We’re
directing, (which opens this very Thursday) Uncharted Waters (and its
companion piece, Superwoman), and say you’re coming:

And, because it occurs to Us that there
are some non-SitOnOurFaceBook users amongst Our Gentle Readers, here is a link
to the actual theatre company where the same information can be obtained:
In other news, We are told that Spring begins
tomorrow, but We will believe it when We see it.
In still other news, here is Our capsule
review of Celeste and Jesse Forever,
which We watched this weekend: in his
eighteen seconds of screen time, Elijah Wood demonstrates that HE is a movie
star, while the rest of these folks in this movie are…well, whatever they
are. Also, if you get a leading role in
a movie, even if it’s your very first one, even if you’re eating ramen noodles
and ketchup packs, and living in the trunk of somebody’s car, get your goddamn
teeth whitened. Nobody wants to look at
your ugly-ass goddamn butter-colored teeth.
KThxBye.
Speaking of butter, why don’t’cha all butter
up Uranus and share Our Starzina’s Time of the Month Horoscope video
for Pisces with your friends: http://youtu.be/KMNgwWwNux8 . Tomorrow, Our Aries video
will debut!
And now, in case you thought things couldn’t
get worse, here is Kelli’s HorrorScope:
Oh. Our. God.
Not only is it Glenn Close’s birthday, it is also Moms Mabley’s. We barely know whether to scratch Our watch
or wind Our ass. (Much like the “Our
needle got stuck” quip from earlier, this watch-winding thing doesn’t work anymore
either, as many of Our Gentle Readers will have never seen a watch that One
would wind. Sigh. We are old.)
It’s a good day to hash out disagreements at
work or nearly anywhere else. (Well, DUH.
The more hash you smoke, the less disagreeable you become. Who didn’t know that?)
Your ability to make your case is heightened,
(Kiss Us quick, We’re Perry Mason. (We’ll pause here, while the chirren Google “Perry
Mason” on Wikipedia.))
and you should find that your adversaries
come around to your side soon. (But if
We all sit on the same side, the boat will tip over.)
Your wit will be extremely fast and potent
today (If you think THAT’S fast, you should see Our halfwit.)
— but that could be a mixed blessing, (Which is
still better than a mixed nuts blessing, which can be very confusing.)
so be very careful about what you say and to
whom you say it. (Oh, okay. We
will. AssHat.)
Make sure that you’re only smarting off and
being sassy in front of the people who know your sense of humor well. (Okay, did anyone else just think that Sassy
Smartingoff would be a really good drag queen name? Just Us?
Alrighty, then.)
Strangers will not do a good job of picking
up on your sarcasm. (Fuck ‘em if they can’t take a joke.)
So going on auto-pilot is not something you
should be doing today, especially when you are in a room full of important or
influential people. (What if We go on
auto-erotic-pilot-light instead?)
(We are fairly certain there was an entire
screenplay in that last sentence. We are
seeing Johnny Depp and Charlize Theron. With Elijah Wood as The Beaver.)
You
may work better using the written word for the moment, (All current evidence to the contrary.)
so take advantage of the online dating world.
(And how exactly would that differ from
having a wank?)
(Sorry.)
If you find yourself in a romantic one-on-one
meeting, make sure to think before you speak! (But We are the Queen of
Extemporanea. (Or Norway. One of those.))
(Your Your-O-Scopes:
(Meanwhile, why We didn’t think of this sooner, We’ve got no idea, but
better laid than necking, as they say (and how right they are!). For
real live actual ass(tromlaogical) ho(roscopular) advice, please visit Our good
friend AstroGeek here: http://agskylab.blogspot.com/. Our Own
epistular musings are of use to you only insofar as making you feel better by
comparison, but he will give you actual pertinent advice for your very own
lives, based on upon the positions and transitations of all manner of planets,
planetoids, asteroids, Altoids™, hemorrhoids, and other heavenly flotsam,
jetsam, and Jetsons. Plus, he knows all about Uranus!)

Starzina
Starfish-Browne was born in the wagon of a traveling show…well, okay, not
really. She was actually born in Lowake, Texas, the daughter of a beautician
and either a garage mechanic or the town mailman. At sixteen, she escaped her
humble beginnings by running off with Doctor Browne’s Traveling Medicine Show and,
more to the point, Doctor Browne. Following the dissolution of this unfortunate
entanglement (Doctor Browne was a Virgo and Starzina is, of course, an Aries),
which produced a daughter, Starzina entered a contest in Soap Opera Digest and
won a scholarship to Oxford (yes, in ENGLAND), where she earned her doctorate
in the newly-created dual major of Astrology and Human Sexuality. There is
absolutely NO TRUTH to the rumor that Starzina’s second daughter has Royal
blood, despite tabloid photographs allegedly depicting her cavorting on the
Italian Riviera with Princes William and Harry, clad only in Prussian helmets
and armbands of questionable taste. Starzina currently resides with her
daughters in Philadelphia, the City That Loves You (On Your) Back, where she
enjoys Double Coupon Day at the local SuperCruise and “encouraging” the
coxswain of the Penn rowing team.
Rashida Jones was excellent in the movie you mention. Elijah Wood was fun, but that part could have been taken from the movie and it wouldn't have had an impact. Besides, he might be cute and talented, but nothing is going to make up for the fact that he is working on season three of Wilfred, one of the stupidest shows in the history of showdom.
ReplyDeleteAll that aside, there were some amusing parts in the film. And, for a "rom com," I really felt pleased by the ending when I realized I wasn't being jerked off by the writers. That doesn't ever happen. (In fact, when you get around the seeing Silver Linings Playbook, possibly the biggest rom com since Pretty Woman, I promise that you're going to want to break your television by the last scene,,, and then you'll wish you had better things to say about this piece of fillum.)
