Like a beautiful child growing up free and wild





Hello, Ducks!




Starzina Starfish-Browne here with your Eric’s! Daily! Horoscope! for Hump Day, August Thirteenst, 2014.




Happy birthday to Michael, who turns twenty-four today all the out on The Left Coast.  This may, in fact, be an historic moment here at Eric’s!Daily!Horoscope!, where We have heretofore never quite accepted that The Left Coast encompasses anything more than WeHo, El Lay, and Fran Sancisco (where they think Rice-A-Roni™ is a treat).  As it turns out, there is more, even, to The Left Coast than California!  (We know, riiiight?)



Michael is turning twenty-four today in somewhere called “Washington Which Is Not The Same As Washington DC”, although it is unclear to Us whether or not this would make it “Washington AC” or “Washington AC/DC”.  (Geography was never Our strong suit.)



Happy birthday also to Sophie, who also turns twenty-four today.  In Wilkes-Barre. About which We have not a single joke, geographic or otherwise.  You’re welcome.



Happy belated birthday, meanwhile, to Perry, who turned twenty-four yesterday, right here in The City Of Brotherly Love Handles.



In other news, We have moved into the sign of Leo, which contains, amongst other things, the highest percentage of sexxxy-assz mens in the zodiac.  Our Leo video is above, and here is the link with which you may Cher it with your friends: http://youtu.be/6kCzNp1JtDo



We have been, for a few days verging on a week now, in a completely foul humor.   We are fairly certain that We have identified all the causes of same (at least one of which will actually disappear with the passage of time), and, for the most part, there is nothing We can do.  Creative viZZZualization, Our (ginormous) assz.




And, to add insult to injury, when We are already in a foul humor, it seems unfair of The Universe to pile on such things as slogging to the dentist (okay, he IS TheCutestDentistInTheWholeWideWorld, but still, a dentist) through the pouring rain and then, when We are in the chair with the female (why, god, why?) hygienist chiseling away at Our teeth, being subjected to McDonna on the radio.



Sigh.



On a positive note, however, Our celebrity birthday website informs Us that today is Danny Bonaduce’s birthday, so perhaps there will be cake.  Or at least cocaine.




And now, it being oh-so-much later than We think, here, in lieu of call-and-response with AssHatted Ass(tromalogical) Ho(roscopulist) Kelli, is a reading from Madame Olivia:



Greetings Starzina ~

A warm welcome back to Madame Olivia.

In the realm of getting stuff done, Madame Olivia has a fabulous concept that she herself invokes: Be your own project manager! This means going beyond just jamming as much onto a list as possible but rather taking a good chunk of time to plan what you're going to do when. It is human nature to underestimate how much time things will take but if you seriously get into your project manager persona you can plan and organize better and you will Get More Done. Guaranteed.

Now, dear Aries, let's take a look at something that's going to present itself to you. It's looking like a challenge and though Madame Olivia knows you generally like a challenge, in all honesty she would simply pass this one up. It's just not going to be worth it and could well add needless complication. A word to the wise.

Word for thought: desire

Good-bye for now. Warmest wishes from Madame Olivia until we meet again.










Namaste, MotherFuckers.



In gaseousness,

Kick her right in the Coriolanus






Hello, Ducks!




Starzina Starfish-Browne here with your Eric’s! Daily! Horoscope! for JustAnotherMedicinalMarijuanaMonday, August Ellebenst, 2014.




Happy birthday to James, who turns twenty-four today all the way down in MaryLand.  Which, were We (subjunctively) to show you a picture of this fine strapping example of virile Leonine masculinity, you would find an odd geographic place name for his habitat.



(James is also a Shakespearean actor, and We are trying (albeit failing) to work in the phrase “skilled in the use of his broadsword” in some bawdy euphemistic way.  So just pretend We did that, and let’s move on, ‘kay?)



Happy belated birthday, meanwhile, to Daniel and Danny, and Maribeth and Mary Jo, and Dylan, all of whom turned twenty-four this past weekend.  (And several of whom sound as though they might be the same person, although they are all completely different people, one as far away as Tennessee.  



(Tennessee, in case you were unsure, is one of the fifty states, much like Denial, Confusion, and Flux.  It is a few letters shy of having a cute song to spell it out with, a la Mississippi.  (To wit, em-eye-ess-ess-eye-ess-ess-eye-pee-pee-eye.  (Heh…she said “pee-pee”.))))




(The preceding paragraph is notable as the first time in living history that anyone anywhere has ever used the phrase “a la Mississippi”.)




In other news, We have moved into the sign of Leo, which contains, amongst other things, the highest percentage of sexxxy-assz mens in the zodiac (see all of the preceding).  Our Leo video is above, and here is the link with which you may Cher it with your friends: http://youtu.be/6kCzNp1JtDo



In other other news, being The Queen Of All Social Media, We recently reconnected with a Lovely And Talented Gentleman with whom We once did a show some fifteen years ago.  (We were both nine at the time.  (It was children’s theater.  (With a great deal of nudity.))) So thanks, SitOnMyFaceBook!



If you’ve been a Faithful Gentle Reader over the past week or so (as opposed to a Faithful Naked Skimmer (which is okay too)), you will notice the sudden absence today of any complaining, or mention of gentlemen’s nuts.  You’re welcome.



Our celebrity birthday website informs Us that today is McDonna’s son, Rocco Ritchie’s birthday, and that he is fourteen.  No word on what the equivalent in human years is.  (Oh, no, she di-int! (Oh, yes, she DID!))




And now, it being oh-so-much later than We think, here, in lieu of call-and-response with AssHatted Ass(tromalogical) Ho(roscopulist) Kelli, is a reading from Madame Olivia:

I wish they all could be California girls






Hello, Ducks!




Starzina Starfish-Browne here with your Eric’s! Daily! Horoscope! for FriedEgg, August Eightst, 2014.



August Eightst already?  Whoever woulda thunkit.  June and July certainly did disappear in the blink of an eye…you don’t see January and February going away that quickly, do ya?




Happy birthday to TCBITWWW, who turns twenty-four today all the way out on The Left Coast, in WeHo, El Lay.  Where birthday cakes are made of avocado frosted with sunshine, and the celebratory birthday cocktail is a Vodka And Juice Cleanse.




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



Happy birthday also to Nicholas, who also turns twenty-four today, somewhere, at least, in the same state as We are.  (By “the same state as We are”, We mean Pennsylvania, not the merry-go-round of Confusion, Denial, and Consternation which is Our sad, sad mental state.)



And last but not Lee Strasberg, happy belated birthday to Ariel, who turned twenty-four yesterday, while We were In Absentia. Drinking absinthe.



Abyssinia…in all the old familiar places…



Oh, shut up.



In Our trials, tribulations, travels, and travails across the sweeping plains of the WorldWideInterWebNetz, We encounter many and varied sites of varying degrees of interest.  Yesterday, We ran across a site on the subject of Women’s Fitness, with instructions on “How To Do A Dumbbell Snatch Squat”.



How to what now?



Is it just Us, or is that one of those almost-English sentences where One cannot quite tell a noun from a verb?



In other news, lettuce imagine, in the space that follows this paragraph, a big ol’ screed in which We complain about all the things We have to complain about.  Of which, there are so many, that We don’t have time to properly complain about them all.  Which, you may notice, is another complaint.  BEGIN:

























…and SCENE.




(Seriously, though…not ONE picture of a Gentle Gentleman Readers nuts?  Are your nuts THAT identifiable on their own?  Whaddaya have, your name tattooed on ‘em?)



In other other news, We have moved into the sign of Leo, which contains, amongst other things, the highest percentage of sexxxy-assz mens in the zodiac.  Our Leo video is above, and here is the link with which you may Cher it with your friends: http://youtu.be/6kCzNp1JtDo



Cher and Cher alike.



Also, Cher and Sherilyn Fenn.



Now, if you’ll excuse Us, We need to go celebrate Rory Calhoun’s birthday.  Rory Calhoun was a movie star.  We are fairly certain that We have never seen a Rory Calhoun fillum, but We have decided that “Rory Calhoun” is the quintessential movie star name by which all other movie star names pale in comparison.  (Take THAT, Zasu Pitts.)




Here, in lieu of call-and-response with AssHatted Ass(tromalogical) Ho(roscopulist) Kelli, is a reading from Madame Olivia:



Greetings Starzina ~

It is very good to see you again.

Madame Olivia wonders if like most of us, you notice that We did this exact same thing in Our last e-pissode, and, since Madame Olivia only sends Us readings once a week, We’re doing it again.  But We suspect that the likelihood that any of you are actually reading this is about equal to the likelihood that any of you will send Us pictures of your nuts, so what possible difference does it make?
Actually, We’re not even sure how many times We’ve done this now (the preceding paragraph first went unremarked last week), so We’re fairly certain at this juncture that We could just hire ten thousand monkeys with ten thousand typewriters and be done with it.
The first Gentle Gentleman Reader who send Us a picture of one or more of his nuts with the caption, “What the hell is a typewriter?” will win a prize.

Circles and round things will be of import in the near future

Madame Olivia wishes you the best of the best until we meet again.


Namaste, MotherFuckers.
