My name is Luka…I live on the second floor

Hello, Ducks!

Starzina Starfish-Browne here with your Eric’s!Periodic!Horoscope! for Good Pie Rupee Tuesday,  August 25st, 2015.

Since We have switched from Eric’s!Daily!Horoscope! to Eric’s!Periodic!Horoscope! (which means, of course, that We only e-pisstlize an e-pissode when We are having Our period (just kidding…if We e-pisstlized an e-pissode every time We were having Our period, it would be Eric’s!Quarter-Hourly!Horoscope!)), We have undergone some suBtler format changes as well.  For instance, We initially started keeping notes of Our daily dystopian debacles, so that We could complain all at once.  This concept quickly fell by the wayside, as We realized We were running the risk of alienating one or more of Our Gentle Readers (both of whom are very nice, if somewhat screed-averse).

So now, you will be getting a more bullet-pointed approach to Our world since last We e-pisstlized.  What’s more, We shall actually leave off complaining (no, not entirely) and include some GOOD things that might have happened to Us (albeit clearly by accident).

But first, today’s birthday wishes:  Happy Birthday to Althea, and Kai, and Michelle, each of whom turns twenty-four today right here in The City Of Brotherly Love Handles. Also, Happy Birthday to Liam, and Phillip, and Ron, each of whom also turns twenty-four today, in Georgia, and Indiana, and New York, respectably.  (Well, on second thought, probably NOT respectably.  At least, We HOPE not.)

The preceding folks are all Virgos, as We have moved into that sign now.  Our Virgo video is above (and IS safe for work); the link with which you may Cher it with your friends is:  https://youtu.be/wkk4fkT9_ZI

Also, in the time-honored tradition (well, since February-or-so, anyway) of Eric’s!Periodic!Horoscope!, now that We are periodically periodic with periodicity, We have a lot of Belated Birthdays upon which to comment.  In the interest of keeping their numbers manageable, We have only been wishing Happy Belated Birthday to all of the hot gentlemen (in their hot birthday suits) who have celebrated their nativities (in their hot birthday suits) since last We e-pisstlized an e-pissode. We hereby wish Happy Belated Birthdays to the most-mouth-watering birthday suits to have celebrated birthdays since last We e-pisstled.  Of course, since all of the following hot gentlemen are Leos, there’s still a helluva lot of ‘em:

So, Happy Belated Birthday to Andrew, Anthony, Christian, Dan, Danny, Doug, Dylan, Edgar, Ian, Jason, Jamel, James, Josh, Larry, Luke, Mark, Mike, Nicholas, Ryan, Thom, and Tim.

And, of course, Happy Belated Birthday (in his very own sentence, mind you) to TCBITWWW (The Cutest Boi In The Whole Wide World, for you newbs.)

Before We put paid to  the subject of birthday wishes, We realized in the course of writing this that, of all of the gentlemen wished Happy Birthday/Belated Birthday above, We have seen exactly ONE  of them in his birthday suit.

What the hell is up with that? All of you gentlemen whom We have NOT seen in your birthday suits, please send Us pixtures of the birthdays suits in question. (How many times do We need to repeat this until YouPeople realize that We ARE NOT JOKING?) 

********************************
And now, as promised, BULLET POINTS!  (Are you excited?  We’re excited!)

We have had a houseguest over the past week, whom We had not seen since We were both twenty-four.  It was just like Celebrity Big Brother, but with less nudity.  Now that We are both twenty-four, We enjoyed a very civilized visit.  Despite the absence of nudity.

(We just attempted to add ACTUAL bullet points, but Micro$oft Weird™ insists on putting one before “And now, as promised, BULLET POINTS! “, which looks really stupid, so We’ve given up.)

The only unfortunate thing about having a houseguest was that his visit exactly overlapped with the run of OurPatrickWhoArtInGreaterBostonia’s play, Parthenogenesis, which appeared last week in the New York Fringe Festival, and, by all reports, killed.  So congratulations, and We are very sorry to have missed it. (We met OurPatrickWhoArtInGreaterBostonia ten years ago this past spring, and, now that We’re both twenty-four, We should catch up sometime soon.)

In other news, once the sentence, “You’re more into me than I am into you” has been uttered to One, there’s really no turning back, riiight?  (Asking for a friend.)

On the plus side, We did see some actual (non-InterNetzian-porn) peen recently.  (No, NOT Our houseguest’s.  (And no, We weren’t allowed to have any.  But still…))

In still other news, fuck the motherfucking Pope.  The goddamn President of the United States can come to Philadelphia, and everybody goes about their goddamn business as usual, but some old man in a dress shows up, and suddenly We’re gonna be a police state.  Go visit somewhere else, fucker.

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

As a Public Service to those of you who are nude here…er, new here, here is a link to a previous e-pissode, which contains, amongst other things, an amusing review of Fifty Shades of Grey: 

http://ericsdailyhoroscope.blogspot.com/2015/06/i-put-spell-on-you.html .

Moving on, didja know that We have been e-pisstling e-pissodes of these e-pisstles in one form or another since 2001?  Every scintillating e-pissode from 2005, for instance, (now TEN YEARS OLD) can be found in charming dead-tree format here:

http://www.lulu.com/shop/eric-singel/erics-daily-horoscope-2005/ebook/product-17475744.html 

In celebrity birthday news, there is not much going on today.  It is, however, Luka Sulic’s birthday.  Who is Luka Sulic, you ask?  He is a Croatian cello player.  Google up his picture on Wikipedia…We don’t know about you (really, We don’t), but he can come over to Our house and “play Our cello” any time he wants.

Thank Gawd We didn’t stray from the point.

Namaste, MotherFuckers.

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.

                                                                                                                                    

Everything old is nude again

Hello, Ducks!

Starzina Starfish-Browne here with your Eric’s!Weekly!Horoscope! for JustAnotherManacledManicuristManiacallyManhandlingManchurianManateesMonday,  January Twelvest, 2015.

Happy Birthday to Mark, who turns twenty-four today right here in The City That Loves You (On Your) Back. 

Happy Birthday also to Skip, who also turns twenty-four today, somewhere in the suburbs of The City Of Brotherly Love Handles.

Happy Belated Birthday, meanwhile, to Cynthia, and Alexander, and John, and Zachary, and Josh, and Fernando, and Bill, and Vinnie, and Harmony, and Patricia, and Drusilla, each of whom turned twenty-four this past week.

Yes, We said “this past week”.  We last e-pisstled last Monday, and, oddly enough, despite the absence of e-pissodes, the hit count for that e-pisstle never rose again, and not a single Gentle Reader inquired as to Our whereabouts or Our well-being.

Hmmm…

We’re fine, thanks for not asking.  We had three nights at the Murder Mystery Factory, a three-day visit from bae (that’s what The Kidz are calling it, yes?), and a broken furnace.

Somewhere in the middle of said week, a friend in Hollyweird sent out a SitOnMyFaceBook request that people watch and Cher his new video, which We promptly did (as One, We thought, does (and are doing again here, which see:))

This activity, it will not surprise you to learn, caused Us to reflect upon the fact  that We share Our Own Personal videos every day, both on people’s SitOnMyFaceBook pages for their birthdays, and in these e-pisstles, wherein We request that Our Gentle Readers Cher them.  To wit:

“Here is the link with which you may share Our Capricorn video with both of your friends:   http://youtu.be/m3Aa_X_HoVM ”

That never happens.

Needless to say (and yet, saying it anyway), We were a bit discouraged by this turn of events.  However, in Our ongoing efforts to be One Of Those People who turns chicken shit into chicken salad,  We wondered to Ourself what all else We might be writing if We weren’t (subjunctively) e-pisstlitizing there e-pisstles e-very day.

Welcome, consequently, to Eric’s!Weekly!Horoscope!, which astute Gentle Readers who are NOT naked skimmers will have already noticed up at the beginning there.  (Have We mentioned recently how very many of Our Gentle Readers We’ve seen naked?  Because We have.)

Speaking of nakediditty, who could resist this Justin Bieber story?  : http://www.brobible.com/entertainment/article/calvin-klein-photoshopped-justin-bieber-bulge/‏

And/or: http://www.thesuperficial.com/justin-bieber-pubes-photoshop-calvin-klein-happy-trail-original-01-2015#.VK9dvtXfuyU.facebook‏

It just this minute occurred to Us to go look at what, if any, e-pissodes of these e-pisstles people were looking aat while We were amongst the missing, and We came across this e-xcerpt from 2012, which had the most hits for the week:

We would not, of course, ordinarily be e-pisstlitizing in here on a SayerDee (or, if We were, We’d be intro-ing one of Our Very Special Video Retrospective E-pissodes), but something monumentally cataclysmic has transpired, and We felt compelled to come and Cher.

There is a pimple on Our buttock.

Not just ANY pimple, mind you.  (Not just ANY buttock, either…Our LEFT buttock.)  This is a pimple of such staggering proportions as to leave all other pretender-to-the-game-of-thrones pimples in the dust by comparison.  This pimple on Our left buttock is so monumentally ginormous that it could actually be an auxiliary buttock all its own.  Which would, it would seem, give Us three buttocks, causing Us, no doubt, to list to one side, and making Us, essentially, Fred MacMurray in My Three Buttocks,  with William Demarest as Uncle Charlie, and what was up with all those old TV shows where random men just lived together without a woman anywhere to be found, and how sad is it that We knew William Demarest’s name without having to look it up?

But back to Our pimple, which makes even the preceding paragraph look small by comparison.  If Our left buttock were (subjunctively) Mount Rushmore, this pimple would be Chester A. Arthur.  Who is not, of course, actually ON Mount Rushmore, but We’re fairly sure he was the really fat President, unless that was William Howard Taft, but We can’t be bothered to look it up.  (We did, however, just look up William Demarest, and We learned that, if he were (subjunctively) still alive, he would be a hundred and twenty years old.  THERE’S a brain cell We’ll never get back.)  Our point being that they would need the fattest President they could find to represent this pimple if Our left buttock were (subjunctively) Mount Rushmore.

All this talk of Our left buttock is, as you would assume, making Us think of the Daniel Day-Lewis fillum, My Left Foot, in which Mister Day-Lewis portrays some real-life character with a crippling disease so very crippling that he can only control his left foot, so he takes up painting.  Instead of, you know, something useful, like feeding himself, or wiping his ass, or having a wank.  This, of course, makes him famous, and his life gets made into a movie with Daniel Day-Lewis in it.  Daniel Day-Lewis wins an Oscar™, presumably to the sound of crippled painter guy’s one foot clapping.

Now, We are not suggesting that Our left buttock could hold a candle to Daniel Day-Lewis’s left foot.  (Actually, We’re fairly certain that Our left buttock couldn’t hold a candle at all, whereas Daniel Day-Lewis’s left foot no doubt could.  (It also strikes Us, just now, parenthetically, that Mister Day-Lewis’s character in that fillum must have been really bad at the Hokey-Pokey.))  We ARE, however, saying that, if you hold a canvas back there when this pimple finally pops, We will SHOW you a painting.

All together now:  eeeeuuuuwwwww!!!!!

And here, for your further edification, is Our very first Capricorn video:

Upon reflection, these two videos are amongst Our much more densely-plotted cinematic efforts, due to the fact that Our director actually is a Capricorn (although quite unlike the unseen character from the videos).

We often ponder, in the endless time afforded to Us by the fact that We are almost universally ignored, how many of Our Gentle Readers actually realize that, if viewed in order, Our videos actually have ongoing plots and storylines. 

Moving on, didja know that We have been e-pisstling e-pissodes of these e-pisstles in one form or another since 2001?  And that the earliest dead-tree archival records from 2004 are now TEN YEARS OLD, and can be found (for a small fee) here: http://www.lulu.com/shop/eric-singel/erics-daily-horoscope-2004/paperback/product-300894.html  ? 

Thank Gawd We didn’t stray from the point.

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

In celebrity birthday news, We were concerned that YouPeople were all making your way to your workplaces in the middle of the back-alley abortion that is today’s weather, until We realized that it is Zayn Malik’s birthday, so you probably all have the day off.

Avoid the impulse to critique every little thing today (That is the stupidest thing We’ve ever heard.)

(Heh.  See what We did there?)

— there are enough people doing that! (Yes, but We do it the best.)

Just make sure that you’re available when others ask you for advice. (Why?  What did these “others” ever do for Us?)

Then you can be free with criticism.  (Actually, We’re awfully good at criticism…it would be nice if We could find a way to charge for it.)

You need to face it (This face seats five.  Also, this face is leaving in two minutes…be on it.)

 — you are just feeling less energetic than usual today, (We’re pretty sure that the only thing less energetic than We usually are is death.  Are We dead?  Because if We’re dead, We can probably stop typing, yes?)

(Of course, as far as most of Our Gentle Readers know, We could have been dead all last week.)

and it shows. (Good lord…is this still the same sentence?)

(It just occurred to Us that We mentioned Justin Bieber earlier, and didn’t put Our Justin Bieber video in here.  So here ya go.  (Don’t Cher it with nobody or nothin’.)):

How can you get your groove back? (Ask Stella.)

(That right there was a litter-hairy illusion.  ‘Cause We’re cultured and shit.)

There are two equal and opposite actions you could take. (There usually are.  But as Our ass(tromalogical) ho(roscopulist), shouldn’t you be telling Us which one to choose?)

The first is to simply rest (In pieces?  (See earlier death reference.))

— especially if you’ve been overworked lately. (Not to mention underpaid.)

The second is to force yourself to get moving, especially if you’ve been the lethargic lately. (Justin Bieber’s Underoos™!)

(We have no idea.)

Whichever you choose, act soon!  (Well, DUH.  Call before midnight tonight, and get a free set of Ginsu steak knives.  To cut up your Ginsu steak with.  (What the hell kind of animal is a Ginsu?))

Don’t pass up an offer to join your pal on a double date. (But if he’s already on a double date, wouldn’t that make Us a fifth wheel?)

Although past experience tells you to avoid it like the plague, give this one a chance. (All We are saying is, “Give peas a chance”.)

(We’re not really saying that.  We hate peas.  Always have.)

Even if the romance falls short, you’ll meet someone new and interesting. (Is anyone else thinking Zayn Malik wearing Justin Bieber’s Underoos™?  Just Us?  Alrighty, then.)

Namaste, MotherFuckers.

In gaseousness,

Starzina Starfish-Browne
