Ed Sullivan! Ed Sullivan! We’re gonna be on Ed Sullivan!





Hello, Ducks!



             
Starzina Starfish-Browne here with your Eric’s! Daily! Horoscope! for GoodPieRupeeTuesday, November 12rd  , 2013. (We’ll pause here, so you can savor just exactly how preposterous you sound, attempting to pronounce “12rd” .)



Whoa…acid flashback!




So it appears that We have once again been remiss (Word Nerd Alert:  shouldn’t the “re-“ in “remiss” take care of the “once again” part?) in relying solely on SitOnMyFaceBook to inform Us of Our Gentle Readers’ birthdays, and, consequently, completely missed OurMizLOretta’s birthday on Sunday.  She turned, We know you will be surprised to hear, twenty-four, Somewhere In Suburbia.  So Happy Belated Birthday to OurMizLOretta.




Happy Actual Birthday, meanwhile, to OurAmericanCousin, Ethan, who does not EVEN turn twenty-four today, somewhere in the wilds of Northern New Jersey, which is almost New York, but isn’t.




 Also, Happy Actual Birthday to Lisa, who turns twenty-four today somewhere in New Hampshire.  (New Hampshire, for those of Our Gentle Readers who are geographically challenged (much like Our Own Self)  is That State In New England That, Once You’ve Picked Out Maine, Massachusetts, And Connecticut, And Realized That You’ve Overlooked Rhode Island Again, Isn’t Vermont.)




And, last but not Lee Strasberg, Happy Actual Birthday to Miss Liz, who turns twenty-four today, mercifully right here in The City That Loves You(On Your) Back, so We don’t have to do any more geography.




Apparently, We slept through the first snowflakes of the season earlier, and the less said about THAT, the better.




Shortly after getting up, We received a text which said, and We quote: “M km, tzxs.”  So thanks for clearing THAT up.




We should also mention, lest you thought We were finished plugging Ourself (We HAVE to plug Ourself…no one else will) that LOOKING FOR URANUS: Starzina Starfish-Browne’s Comeback Tour  is actually going on tour!  We shall be at Vagabond Acting Troupe’s Arts House Theater, somewhere called Honey Boo Boo, Pennsylvania, which, as near as We can tell from a map, appears to be in Amish country.  You can find all the particulars regarding Our gig next Sunday, November 17, here: 





Is Starzina gonna rock Zebediah’s Rumspringa, or what?




And now, the HorrorScope:




The Biggest Waste Of Space In Hollywood, Miss Anne Hathaway’s birthday is today.  Also, Charles Manson. (Newer Gentle Readers may wish to peruse Our review of Miss Anne Hathaway’s Oscar™-winning performance here: http://ericsdailyhoroscope.blogspot.com/2013/02/everybody-raise-glass-raise-it-up.html (You ARE all mentally saying “Miss Anne Hathaway” as though it were (subjunctively) “Miss Jane Hathaway”, aren’t you?))




It’s a good day to help out around the office or at home — you are better off assisting others than tackling your own projects.  (Which, since We are all alone here, would appear to mean that We should go directly back to bed.  Too bad, so sad, anal sex with your dad.)




Things are just about to change, (And, proverbially, the more they do that, the more they’ll stay the same.  Is puzzlement.)




though, so don’t get in too deep!  (How deep exactly is too deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee…..)


























(Heh.  See what We did there?)




It’s much better to run the risk of looking a bit naive in the beginning than end up feeling entirely clueless.  (For some reason, We have just imagined a news program entitled Naïve At Five.  Which is wrong on any number of levels, and yet right as well.)




You tend to get frustrated  when you don’t know exactly what’s expected of you. (The period in that sentence works equally well after “frustrated”.)




If the person giving you directions or instructions isn’t being clear about what your role is, (So wait…We AREN’T the very model of a modern major general?)




(We could tell that what you were all thinking was that this horoscope could use some Gilbert and Sullivan.  (Little did We know that you actually meant SARA Gilbert and ED Sullivan.))




don’t hesitate to speak up (WOOF!)




(We’re a woofer, not a tweeter.)




and let them know you need clarification.  (More and more lately, We need Aunt Clarification.)




Visions of the future don’t just happen in fiction!  (Visions of the fiction, on the other hand, happen only in the future.)




(Also, the plane in Bahrain lands mainly on Miss Jane.)




(No, We DON’T have any idea what We’re talking about…what was your first clue?)




If you find yourself having extremely vivid dreams over the next few days, pay careful attention.  (We had a dream last night that had Bill Cosby in it.  We have no idea why.  He wasn’t nearly as old and cranky as he actually is.)




If your latest crush shows up in them, it’s likely that they’re about to make an appearance in your waking life.  (Which is, of course, not to be confused with “your wanking life”.)





Namaste, MotherFuckers.



In gaseousness,


Starzina Starfish-Browne

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.

He’s a prince who prepares



Hello, Ducks!

Starzina Starfish-Browne here with your Eric’s Daily Horoscope for Monday, July 2th, 2012.  (Apparently, We have a lithp now.)  We trutht you all had a very thpecial (oh, fuck…let’s just knock that off, shall We?) Canada Day yesterday, and are busily making preparations for your Fourth of Joo-Lye celebrations.  Here at Casa de CrackWhore, there is, of course, never a dull moment…Zzzzzzzzzzz….

(Oooops…sorry; Our attention wandered.  (We were going to say “Our mind wandered”, but that wandered off years ago.))

This just in:  Anderson Cooper is gay.  Who knew?  Besides, well, ya know, EVERYONE.

In actual news, We spent some time this past weekend contemplating how total strangers wind up on these hallowed pages, as occasioned by Our latest page to trend: http://ericsdailyhoroscope.blogspot.com/2012/06/hes-very-nice-prince.html (In case you didn’t feel like clicking through, it’s the page with the picture of Prince William in a Speedo™…(Hey, where’d everybody go?))  Our Google-O-Meter™ informs Us that searchers are getting there by Googling “Prince William naked”, which he most certainly is not.  If you want to find “Prince William naked”, there are several blurry pictures of him out there, holding his royal willy in his hand, having a regal outdoor pee.  But not on OUR pages, which are ever the epitome of taste and decency.  (Which sounds for all the world like a Gilbert and Sullivan song, no?)  However, now that We’ve typed “Prince William naked” repeatedly in THIS e-pisstle, We shall no doubt have flummoxed some of the salacious searchers, who shall turn up here and find not only not “Prince William naked”, but also not “Prince William with his prince junior wrapped in a Speedo™”.

We almost feel as though We should try to find a picture of Prince Harry naked to compensate them for their trouble…

(We may or may not have just Googled “Prince Harry naked”…)

Other things that are bringing searchers to Our pages (other than Our scintillating wit and Yoda-like wisdom) are even more disturbing.  (Not that We find “Prince William naked” particularly disturbing Our Own Self.)  For example, “melts in your mouth not in your pants”.  What does that even MEAN?  And then there’s “Werner Klemperer shirtless”, which, while We may have penned an e-pisstle containing both “Werner Klemperer” and “shirtless” at some point, We have certainly never put together as one phrase.  And We shan’t even deign to comment upon “funny anal fuck photos”, and the sort of lowlife riffraff that has no doubt brought to darken Our door.

Sigh.  It is not easy, being a WorldWideInterWebNetzian celebutard.


Speaking of celebutards, the WaitStaff will be playing The Match Game on Friday, July 13 and Saturday, July 14, at 7:30, at L’Etage.  The SitOnMyFaceBook event is here (and if you haven’t read the fine print yet, you really should)http://www.facebook.com/events/234467316672300/ and tickets can be gotten here:  http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/255809 .  Be there, or be BLANK.)


Here’s the HorrorScope:

Oh, see, now.  Happy Lindsay Lohan’s birthday, everybody.  Ordinarily, there’d be no excuse for smoking crack on a Monday, but…

You can’t help but see things your way — even if everyone else is determined to see things in their own incorrect way. (We keep trying to tell people…)

Speak up and wait for them to catch up with your perspective.  (Please, Escher, don’t hurt ‘em.)

(That joke just Does. Not. Get. Old.)

Going along with the rest of the crowd can be fun and always helps to avoid conflict, but it certainly is not a philosophy to live your entire life by!  (That entirely depends on who’s in your crowd.  If it’s, say, Prince William and Prince Harry, one or more of whom is naked, We’d say, “go with the crowd”.  On the other hand, if it’s Werner Klemperer and Lindsay Lohan, We’re thinking not so much.)

(Are We the only one who is now picturing Werner Klemperer and Lindsay Lohan together?  No good will come of this…)

(“Prince Harry naked”, “Prince Harry naked”, “Prince Harry naked”.)

 Today, avoid groupthink.(Also, avoid poopthink. (We probably didn’t need to tell you that, but better safe than sorry.))

Exercise (Have you met Us?)

your independent thought a little bit more often. (Well, since We apparently only have the one, We don’t want to wear it out.)

You don’t have to disagree with popular opinion just for the sake of it, (Oh, yes, We do.)

(Heh.  See what We did there?)

but you shouldn’t just give in, either. (Once again, that depends on how many naked princes are involved.)

Make sure you’re thinking things through in a way that satisfies your own criteria, not anyone else’s. (Because, at the end of the day, what We really want is a satisfied criteria.)

Do what’s right for you.  (Fine.  Get Us the number for Buckingham Palace.)

 You have a tendency to make others squirm, particularly when it’s one on one. (You say that as though it’s a bad thing?)

 Now’s a good day to tone down your intensity — just to make people feel a bit more at ease. (Yeah.  THAT could happen.)

Simply turn the conversation on them; (But enough about Us…what do YOU think of Us?)

encourage the other person to talk while you listen.  (Sorry…what did you say?)
