Blame Canada

Hello, Ducks!

Starzina Starfish-Browne here with your Eric’s! Daily! Horoscope! for Friday’s Eve (for that “not-so-fresh” feeling),  September Eighteenst, 2014.

Happy Birthday to Nick who turns twenty-four today right here in The City Of Brotherly Love Handles.

Happy Birthday also to Dan, who is in rehearsal for turning twenty-four today, also right here in The City That Loves You (On Your) Back.

Happy Birthday additionally also too to OurAmericanCousin Liz, who is also in rehearsal for turning twenty-four today (who let all these youngsters in here?).  In Idaho. (And how often, within these hallowed e-pisstles, do We get to say that anything happened “in Idaho”?)

(Idaho, for those of Our Gentle Readers who are geographically challenged (as We are), is a Canadian province wedged between Saskatchewan and Krakatoa.

(Canada, meanwhile, is an extremely large country to Our north.  It was established in 1837 by Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy for the express purpose of keeping Alaskans away from the normal people.  It is so large, in fact, that it is actually possible for two people from Canada to be unacquainted with each other.  For example, We are fairly certain that OurAmericanCousin Liz does not know Our WorldWideInterWebNetzian friend Nat (hi, Nat!), who lives in the Canadian province of Scova Notia, where he is active in politics and is handsome.

(Scova Notia is separated from Idaho by several other large Canadian provinces, as yet unnamed and uninhabited, most of which contain wildlife preserves, and one of which functions, inexplicably, as a stand-in for New York City in movies and television shows.

(Co-inky-dinkally, OurAmericanCousin Liz is originally from Annapolis, You-Ess-Ay, and We have just learned from mapquest (or maybe okcupid…We don’t recall) that there is an Annapolis in Scova Notia as well.) )))

(Is Eric’s!Daily!Horoscope!  educational or what?)

(Who said, “Or what”?)

****************************************

Switching gears, in other news, We are having a preposterous and very easily distracted month.  It seems that every time We start to do something We are interrupted by something else We need to be doing, until that in turn gets interrupted.  It’s as though We have the attention span of---oh, look, a balloon!

*****************************************************

In other news, The WaitStaff Sh!ts The Bed!

has been consistently SOLD OUT (and very well-received)  , so if you want to curry favor with Us by showing up  (because mmmm….curried favor) get your tickets now and/or quick, fast and in a hurry: http://fringearts.com/event/the-waitstaff-sht-the-bed-10/  (That assumes (thereby making an ass of Uma Thurman) that there are any of said tickets left; We have no idea.) The show plays twice more, Friday and Saturday at 8 at L’Etage, and, if you perchance lay your hands upon tickets for Friday, you will encounter the extra added attraction of Us Our Own Self Personally working box office.  Because We’re multitalented like that.

We Our Own Self Personally will next be performing in Our  murder mystery at the Murder Mystery Factory  on Friday, September 26.  If you are interested in seeing Us perform in same, holla at Us.  (For those naked skimmers who may not be aware, We have been promoted to A Position Of Power at the Factory, and so will be performing somewhat less.)

************************************

Speaking of lemurs on Uranus,  (howZZAT for a segue?), here is a flashback to Our FIRST Virgo video, the one with the naked angel:

And heeeeerrrre’s the HorrorScope:

In celebrity birthday news, We had planned to stick with Our Canadian theme, and find famous Canadianese whose birthdays were today.  Until Our celebrity birthday website distracted Us with the news that today is the birthday of Our future ex-husband, Patrick Schwarzenegger.  Who, it would seem, has taken up modelling.  Holy merry mugger of dogs.

It has been a while since We’ve done call-and-response with AssHatted Ass(tromalogical) Ho(roscopulist) Kelli.  So right away We give you some:

This is a good time to think about home and what it means to you. (Well, ya know what They say: “Home is where the hard-on”.)

(They say the weirdest things, don’t They?)

In fact, (Didja ever wonder why nobody ever starts a sentence with “In fiction”?)

you may get a message from family or those closest to you that draws you backward a bit. (Is it just Us, or does something about the phrase “draws you backward a bit” just SCREAM, “Engrish is my second ranguage!”?)

It’s for the best!  (Which is ALWAYS true, especially when it’s said with an emphatic exclamation point.)

(Except not.)

        

After thinking about big changes for so long and not breathing a word to anyone, the solution suddenly dawns on you. (Get tougher rats.)       

If you really want to change, (If everybody’s being different, isn’t it different to stay the same?)

(Jean Paul Sartre WISHES he were (subjunctively) as goddamn existential as We are. (Of course, first, he probably wishes he weren’t dead.))

you can force yourself out of your rut (Sometimes you feel like a rut; sometimes you don’t.)

(Rut-roh.)

by moving long distance. (Me ruv you rong time.)

(Kiss Us quick, We’re Anna May Wrong.)

It means you have to change your residence, your job, your relationships and your habits. (Oh, is THAT all?)

If it sounds refreshing rather than frightening, (Yeah, not so much.)

you need to get busy, (From your lips to God’s voicemail.)

because it’s past time. (But if it’s past time, how can you tell WHEN it is?)

When it comes to your outlandish singles lifestyle, (Which is the EXACT phrase people use when they observe Our life.)

press pause. (Izzat a euphemism?)

The economy isn’t exactly full steam ahead just yet, so cut back on spending. (We are still trying to figger out the sound of one nickel rubbing together.)

(We so poor, We can’t even pay attention.)

Entertain at home (We would love to.  What time is Patrick Schwarzenegger getting here?)

instead of spending lots of time (Wait…wasn’t it past time just a few sentences ago?  Learn English, fercrissakes.  Damn Canadians.)

and money at the bar. (“The bar”.  As though there’s only one.)

Figure out your debt and start paying it down. (Wow.  You go wit’ yo’ bad seff, Auntie Climax.)

Namaste, MotherFuckers.

In gaseousness,

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.

                                                                                                                                     

Go, go, go, Joseph!

Hello, Ducks!

Starzina Starfish-Browne here with your Eric’s! Daily! Horoscope! for GoodPieRupeeTuesday, May 6^st  , 2014.

Happy Birthday to Gerard, who does not EVEN turn twenty-four today, which he does not EVEN do right here in The City That Loves You (On Your) Back, because (A.) he lives somewhere in Jew Nersey, and (2.) according to SitOnMyFaceBook, he is currently vacationing in Miami.  So party on, Gerard.  (Panty raid at Gerard’s house, everybody!)

Also, Happy Sexto de Mayo to everybody else.

And now, you must stop whatever you are doing, because you cannot exist for one more moment on this planet without having experienced this:  http://shittywigsinproductionsofjoseph.tumblr.com/

In other news, We are awaiting with bated breath (because We are nothing if not a master breath-bater) the arrival of Our birthday gift of tickets to see Hedwig and the Angry Inch starring Neil Patrick Harris and Anna May Wong…

(We are just going to keep right on saying that until that show closes, thereby demonstrating the utter futility of Creative ViZZZualization.  (Although apparently We have viZZZualized well enough that one poor deluded Gentle Reader actually imagines that We already HAVE said tickets.))

In still other news, We have two upcoming shows which We would like to bring to your attention deficit disorder:  on Thursday, May 8^th, We will be performing in the next installment of The Walker and O’Dare Radio Mystery Hour at the Powel House.  We should like to point out that, although in the style of an old-time radio show, these are original scripts by a very talented writer.  This program is in danger of cancellation (through no fault of its own…due to a change in management at the Philadelphia Society for the Preservation of Landmarks), so We could really use your support in Our efforts to remain at the Powel House or find a new home. Please get your tickets here: http://philadelphia-society-for-the-preservation-of-landmar.ticketleap.com/walkerandodaremystery/ 

(We are told that said tickets are currently HALF-PRICE (!)  (We have apparently been kidnapped by K-Mart.  Again.))

Also, on Saturday, May 10^th, the WaitStaff will be playing The Mother of All Match Games at L’Etage.  In keeping with the Mothers Day theme, We will be leaving Jesus H. Christ’s hippie wig at home, and performing for the first time as Mrs. Mary MotherOfGod.   You won’t want to miss THAT! (In order not to miss it, please get your tickets here:  

http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/676401  and join in the SitOnMyFaceBook event here: 

https://www.facebook.com/events/1597583040466089

And on Friday, We do the murder mystery, which means We get to do three different shows in three days, because Our life is cool like that.  Which also means that, because We have noticed in advance that We’re doing something that makes Us happy, that people are going to try to poop in Our punch bowl…just you watch.

(We left that bit from yesterday in there on purpose because lo and behold, the punchbowl pooping has commenced.  Lucky, lucky Us.)

In other news, We suddenly find Ourselves (not that We were looking for Us, but it’s a figger of speech) in the sign of Taurus, Our video for which is above, and here is the link with which you may share it with your friends:

http://youtu.be/iGNw4zF7MSs

Also, for those of you who like cups of tea, and history, and someone in a tree, here is Our previous Taurus video, which is somewhat of a fillum noir, if you will. (Or even if you won’t…since when is it all about you?):

And here’s the HorrorScope:

 Our future ex-husband George Clooney was born today.  We shall let him eat cake .

(That, in case you are mentally-differently-abled, was a euphemism.)

You need to avoid the friction that is going down today (Wait, wait, wait…there’s friction AND going down?  Things are looking up…)

(Somebody has apparently been euphemism-loading.)

— otherwise, you may find that your energy is wasted on small-scale conflict.  (That too is a euphemism, but We have no idea for what.)

You feel too good to get drawn into silly struggles.  (On the other hand, We could probably be talked into a Silly STRING™ struggle.)

You may be on quite a roll right now, (Was that a fat joke?)

but you still need to conserve your energy for the bigger and better things coming down the pike. (That must be one long damn pike…)

Don’t get too tied to the idea that progress can only be defined by how much you can get done in a specific amount of time. (That would seem to be the exact definition of progress.  Words have meanings.  AssHatt.)

Life is not a race, so slow down. (Nor is it amazing.  Just sayin’.)

Today, don’t take on any new projects — avoid making any big commitments with your time. (Sorry, Bee-Yotch…since We typed Our last response, We got alerted about a gig, inquired about said gig, and shipped off an email to book said gig…We gots no time for “don’t”.)

You need to stay flexible and deal with what’s on your plate.  (If there is going to be anything on Our plate, We shall have to put it there Our Own Self.  Sigh.)

You’re on the move and you’re making progress. (Which, just three sentences ago, she told Us how NOT to define.  Notice however, that she never told Us how TO define it. Fucktard.)

Don’t be surprised (SURPRISE!)

if your family and friends question your decisions. (What if We already decided that We WOULD be surprised?  THEN WHAT?)

If they really pry, remember — it’s really none of their business. (Also, fuck ‘em if they can’t take a joke.)

Your intuition will give you the truth. (YOU CAN’T HANDLE THE TRUTH!)

(Oh, and just to update…the gig We mentioned earlier?  Is apparently Ours.  Go Us.)

Namaste, MotherFuckers.

In gaseousness,
