Midnight at the oasis

Hello, Ducks!

Starzina Starfish-Browne here with your Eric’s! Daily! Horoscope! for WinesDay, October Whineth, 2013.  Happy Birthday to Jim, who turns twenty-four today right here in The City Of Brotherly Love Handles.  Also, Happy Birthday to Kristina, who also turns twenty-four today, somewhere in Greater Bostonia. And Happy Day Of Hump to the rest of all y’all; send yo’ camels to bed.

Faithful Gentle Readers will recall Monday’s e-pissode, which see: http://ericsdailyhoroscope.blogspot.com/2013/10/i-love-piano.html , which was, amongst other things, Picturing Kevin Naked Day.

Which was followed by yesterday’s realization, for which you can follow the link: http://ericsdailyhoroscope.blogspot.com/2013/10/im-fking-matt-damon.html, but which also, conveniently, follows:

“We are also not entirely sure that We are finished with yesterday’s “Picturing Kevin Naked” exercise.  Especially since We realized, much later in the day, that the circumstances under which We saw Kevin naked repeatedly also involved seeing Allen naked.  Also repeatedly.  So then, naturally, We started picturing that.  Yep; We’re not finished.

(We are also not Finnish.  But then, no one suggested that We were.)”

Which led to a subsequent realization, unfortunately after We had finished (or Finnished) e-pisstlizing, that, although the circumstances under which We saw Kevin and Allen naked were the same, We never saw them naked at the same time.

Naturally, We then had to begin picturing THAT.  Which leads to today’s announcement, that We are hereby officially declaring it Picturing Kevin And Allen Naked WEEK.

You’re welcome.

FYI: We are on the verge of declaring it Picturing Kevin And Allen Naked MONTH.  Which, amongst other things, would lead to a very festive Trick-Or-Treat at month’s end.

Moving on, have We neglected so far to mention Our show, which We are remounting (ooooohhhh!)?  LOOKING FOR URANUS: Starzina Starfish-Browne’s Comeback Tour, the best-kept secret of the 2013 Philadelphia Fringe Festival, will be performed for one night only, Sunday, October 13 at 7:30 at L’Etage, so that everyone who was too busy Fringing can have a chance to see it.  Getcher tickets here:

http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/478137

Cocktails will be served, and you can picture Kevin and Allen naked the whole time.

And here is the HorrorScope:

Didja know that Sean Lennon was born on his father’s birthday?  Neither did We, till today.

Your independent mind (So, wait…you’re saying Our mind has a mind of its own?  That’s gonna be a problem…)

is arriving at new ideas at great speed today (That’s what generally happens when One has great speed.)

— but there’s no need to share them just yet!  (Don’t let Cher hear you say that!)

Your energy is better spent on brainstorming (Does Our brain have a brain of its own, too?  Take an umbrella!  And wear your rubbers!)

and recording your best and hottest plans.  (Just IMAGINE what We’re going to picture next month!)

(What?)

 You have an incredible energy welling up inside of you, (Tom Welling?)

(Sorry.)

(We are a wee tad confused as We have to do the murder mystery tonight.  On a weeknight.  Which has Us muddled as to what day it actually is.  We, of course, are somewhat easily muddled these days.  Much like a mojito.)

so you need to figure out a great way to use up all that enthusiasm!  (Here’s a hint:  the murder mystery?  Not using up any enthusiasm.)

It’s a wonderful time to dive head first into projects or adventures that involve a lot of other people (‘Round these parts, that’s called an orgy.)

(Did the phrase “dive head first” make anyone else think “orgy in a bouncy castle”?  Just Us?  Alrighty, then.)

— and the more diverse the group is, the better.  (And the more divers there are…)

(Heh.  See what We did there?)

You are especially well-tuned toward people from different cultures, and there are important insights you are ready to absorb from them.  (Ms. Starfish-Browne, the Human Depends™!)

(Eeeeuuuuwwww!!!!)

This is a day of celebration, education and revelation!  (And, no doubt, a whole lot of other things that end in –ation.)

Ignite that adventurous, romantic spirit you’re so famous for. (Does anyone else smell something burning?)

It’s time to get out and do something new (Nude.)

— even if it’s not brand new, (Nude.)

make sure it’s new to you. (Nude.)

Expanding your boundaries opens up romantic possibilities. (This face seats five.  (Howzzat?))

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.

                                                                                                                                     

Rock on

Hello, Ducks!

Starzina Starfish-Browne here with your Eric’s! Daily! Horoscope! for  Fridee Frisée Frizz-Ease™ Febreeze™ Nope-We-Got-Nothin’, April 26, 2013.  Happy Birthday to OurAmericanCousin Roxane, who turns twenty-four today somewhere in Virginia.  Happy Birthday also to Raechal, who also turns twenty-four today, albeit in New Jersey.  Also also, Happy Birthday to Christina, who also also turns twenty-four today, but (surely you didn’t think We were gonna give you a second “albeit”) in Massachusetts, which, Our InterNetz inform Us, is neither in Virginia nor New Jersey.  (Nor, presumably, in Old Jersey, although they didn’t mention that specifically.) And, last but not Lee Strasberg, Happy Birthday to Letta, who turns twenty-four today, mercifully right here in The City Of Brotherly Love Handles.

Whew!  That there’s a whole lotta geography for a geographically-challenged person like Our Own Self.  And it ain’t over yet, because Happy Birthday In Advance to Dena, who turns twenty-four tomorrow in MaryLand, which We believe We have discussed at length in these e-pisstles before.

(Being the sort of full-service Eric’s!Daily!Horoscope! that We pride Ourself on being, We rooted through the archives a la a pig rooting for truffles and found Our prior discourse on MaryLand so YouPeople didn’t have to.   Here it is, and you’re welcome:

Maryland, We have just been informed by Wikipedia, was named after somebody called Queen Henrietta Maria, who, upon being informed of said naming, is reported (possibly spuriously) to have said, “Yo, bitches…my name is Henrietta Maria…wuzzup wit’ dis “Mary Land” shit?  Why not HenriettaMariaLand?”  She made further remarks involving Queen Latifah and Finland, but, as Queen Latifah had not been born yet, and “HenriettaMariaLand” would never fit on a license plate, no one paid any attention to her.)

Did it butter your butt that your second “albeit” was just a “but”, but not an “albeit”, albeit not a “butt”, buttered or not?

What?

What what chicken butt.

We were about to embark upon a screed about how rude These Pesky Kids are on the InterNetz, but then We realized that those who would most need to hear it weren’t paying any attention, so We’ve spared you.  Once again, you’re welcome.

Speaking of “apparently, str8 bois will NOT send you random pictures of their junk, even if said pictures cannot possibly be traced back to them”, as you can see above, We have released Our new Starzina’s Time of the Month Horoscope:  Taurus video.  Here is the link with which you will share it with your friends, enemies, frenemies, enemists, and frenulums:

http://youtu.be/iGNw4zF7MSs

Also, for those of you who like cups of tea, and history, and someone in a tree, here is last year’s Taurus video for comparison:

And now (changing, for some artifactual reason, to birthday-cake-icing-baby-blue), here are the HorrorScopes:

It is Tom Welling’s birthday.  Really, what else do you need to know?  (Well, this just in…apparently, you also need to know that it is Michael Damian’s birthday, as he just thanked Us on Twatter for sharing Our Starzina’s Time of the Month Horoscope:  Taurus video.)

People keep asking you if something’s wrong (Of COURSE something’s wrong…people keep asking Us stupid questions!)

 — which is part of the problem, actually!   (See?  Even Kelli knows wuzzup…and We all know what an AssHat SHE is.)

You just need some time to yourself, (But first, let’s put on a whole bunch of unnatural fibers and go sling drinks at a murder mystery.)

but since that’s so unusual, (Kiss Us quick, We’re Cyndi Lauper.)

they think there’s more to it.  (Oh, there’s ALWAYS more to it.  Because there’s never LESS to it, ya know?)

You are doing very well, (At WHAT, prithee?)

(Didn’t see that “prithee” coming, didja?)

balancing your emotions with the emotions of others, (In what universe would you possibly imagine that We care about “the emotions of others”…whatever those might be?)

and it is going to pay off in a big way, today. (And yet, We would do it for a dollar.  Go figger.)

By being in synch emotionally with the people around you (Especially being in the KITCHEN synch emotionally.),

 you are showing folks that you are someone who is enjoyable to work with (And even more enjoyable to PLAY with.  Wink-wink, nudge-nudge, know-what-We-mean, know-what-We-mean…)

(Where’d all those crickets come from?)

— that you are someone who can compromise and work with others toward a common goal. (And We are NOTHING if not common.)

 Focus on that flexibility today, and get ready for the give and take of negotiations.  (If We’re focused on flexibility, “negotiations” must be what The Kidz are calling it these days.)

Be ready to bite your tongue (How ‘bout We bite other people’s tongues?)

— or not. (Party pooper.)

You’re liable to blurt out how you really, truly, deeply feel, (Or how We truly madly deeply feel?)

 whether it’s angry, excited, lusty (Ang Lee for short.)

(What?)

or who knows what. (We just said “What?”)

Maybe it’s not such a bad thing.  (Or maybe shut the hell up and let the grownups talk.)

In gaseousness,

Starzina Starfish-Browne
