Hello, Ducks!
Starzina Starfish-Browne here with your
Eric’s! Daily! Horoscope! for JustAnotherManStiffMonday, March 17st ,
2014.
Happy Birthday to Amelia, who turns

Also, Happy Birthday to Doug, and to Matt, and to Patti, each of whom also
turns twenty-four today right here in The City That Loves You (On Your) Back.
Happy Belated Birthday, meanwhile, to Ann,
and Bethany, and Charlie, and Frieda, and Matt, and Stephen, and Stephen, and,
last but not Lee Strasberg, OurAmericanCousin Brian, each of whom turned
twenty-four this past weekend.
And Happy Saint Patrick’s Day to the rest of
you.
In other news, Winter 2014 is cordially
invited to suck Our dick. And NOT just
because of the weather.
It IS “Winter 2014”, isn’t it? Even though it started in 2013? Presumably,
that depends on what season the whole business started in…
Perhaps one of Our Creationist Gentle Readers
would be so kind as to inform Us as to the season in which God created The
Universe.
(Is anyone attempting to pixture Our
Creationist Gentle Readers now? Just
Us? Alrighty, then. (Granted, it must be difficult to pixture
people whose heads have exploded.))
The Bible is a bit sketchy on seasonal details
surrounding the Creation. (What? We have so too read The Bible. (AND seen the movie, ThankYouVeryMuch.))
For example, it tells Us that God created The
Universe in six days, and on the seventh day, She was arrested. (For creating universes without a license,
naturally. (Fortunately, being God, She
had an excellent attorney who got Her off on a technicality.))
Now, We know that that seventh day was Sunday,
from the whole “keep holy the Spongebath” business. Which means that God started work on The
Universe on a Monday. Which right away leaves
Us much less impressed with God, because surely, if you are God, you could see
to it that Monday was a holiday. Or, at
the very least, that you could telecommute/work from home. (Although, biblical
recorders having come after the fact on this one (not having been created till
Day Six and all), perhaps She did. Which
means that God may have separated The Light from The Darkness while wearing a housecoat
and fuzzy slippers, with Her hair up in curlers.)
(That would explain Daylight Savings Time.)
There is no mention, however, to the best of
Our knowledge, of what SEASON it was when all this came to pass. Of course, The Universe having been started
in the Middle East, it doesn’t make much difference, as One doesn’t really have
seasons in a desert. (Parenthetically (hence the parentheses) , another thing
of which there is no mention is what the Chinese had to say about The Universe
starting up in the Middle East when they had already been around for
centuries.)
One of the next things The Bible tells Us is
that shortly after having created The Universe, God made it rain for forty days
and forty nights. Because She decided
that She had made a mistake, and wanted to start over. (We are NOT making this
up, kidz…God MADE A MISTAKE.)
Now, that “raining for forty days and forty
nights” business SOUNDS all kinds of impressive, until you realize that
recently, it SNOWED for forty days and forty nights. And that was just November.
We’re not even going to start in on Moses
sharting the Red Sea…We’re just gonna call it “Winter 2014” and be done with
it.
In other news, We betook Ourselves to suburbia yesterday, to see OurMizDonna be BRILLLLiant in Allens Lane’s Lettice and Lovage, and We are ever so glad We did! We were not previously acquainted with the play, so it was all a lovely surprise to Us, and, as mentioned, OurMizDonna was superb. If you find yourself free this Friday or Saturday, you have two more chances to catch it; info here: http://www.allenslane.org/
Moving on, in ass(tromalogical) ho(roscopular)
news, We have entered the sign of Pisces, Our most recent video for which is
above. Here is the link with which you
may share it with your friends: http://youtu.be/KMNgwWwNux8
Because you do that, don’t you? DON’T
YOU?
And here, because We can resist no
opportunity to share it, is Our FIRST Pisces video, starring the now
non-teen-aged Justin Bieber. :
In horrifying news, We had better best get
the fuck out of Pisces FAST, because We just discovered that Justin Bieber has
now surpassed Johnny Depp as Eric’s!Daily!Horoscope!’s most-cited
celebrity. Jeebus.
And now, as the day is fast escaping Us, and,
not being God, We have to shovel Our Own snow, a reading from Madame Olivia:
Greetings
Starzina ~
Welcome
back and thank you for consulting Madame Olivia.
Madame
Olivia was recently reminded of a succinct precept, namely "Hope is not a
strategy." This gem comes from the business world but is applicable in so
many arenas. Can you see how this might be relevant to you? Just a little more
planning and objectivity will alter your trajectory dramatically. Don't be
afraid to ask for help on this.
Now,
Aries, Madame Olivia hates to tamper with the wonderful way you take charge and
make things happen. Really, it's admirable, and even when people complain,
notice that they're letting you lead the way. Nevertheless, it can't hurt to
revisit mindfulness. Slow down and listen to a few other opinions before you
jump in right now.
Word
of the hour: play
Good-bye
for now. Warmest wishes from Madame Olivia until we meet again.
Namaste, MotherFuckers.
In gaseousness,
Starzina Starfish-Browne

(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)

*****************************************************************************
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.
