And the colored girls sing…





Hello, Ducks!




Starzina Starfish-Browne here with your Eric’s! Daily! Horoscope! for JustAnotherMadCowMonday, October 28rd, 2013.  Happy Birthday to Deb, who turns twenty-four today.  In WeHo.  Well, possibly just in El Lay, but We prefer to imagine that everyone We know who lives in El Lay lives in WeHo.  We’re funny like that.  Not, of course, so much “funny: ha ha” as “funny, that freezer was never full until the neighbors started disappearing”.



Happy Birthday also to Soi, who also turns twenty-four today.  In Hollywood.  Not WeHo, though…Hollywood, FLORIDA.  Which is just confusing.  So We guess that would be SoHo.  Except there’s already Soho in New York, and Soho in London…


Fuck math, GEOGRAPHY is hard.



Happy Belated Birthday, meanwhile, to Celeste and Cheez-Its, each of whom turned twenty-four this past weekend, somewhere geographical.



So many birthdays, so little cake.  Sigh.



This is, of course, the time of year when the entire universe is busy turning against Us.  (It being, naturally, All. About. Us. (Screw that Eve chick.))  The days are rapidly getting shorter, and the weather is getting more disgustingly cold by the second.  So this is really not the time to have an impromptu water main break on War-Torn Warnock Street, and turn off Our water for the night.



Also, when We call up WaterWorld, or whatever governmental department is in charge of such things, We really do not need to be kept on hold for-fucking-EVER.  Especially if you’ve had time to make a recording to tell Us that, “due to an exceptionally high call volume tonight, it may take some time to answer your call”, when you COULD have made a recording that said, “water service to War-Torn Warnock Street is expected to return at blankety-fuck o’clock; in the meantime, drink vodka”.



Also also, when Sucretia and Epiphany’s second cousin thrice removed, Mitochondria, finally answers the phone, We do not need her to give Us attitude and say, “there is no one here who can tell you when service will be returned; you need to go outside and talk to the crew”, because, of all the stupid things We have done, are doing, and are still going to do in Our life, “going outside to talk to the crew” is not one of them. KThxBye.


In still other news, even after Picturing Allen And Kevin Naked Week, and Picturing Peter’s Peter Week, and What’s In OurThreeSons’ Jeggings? Week With A Side Of Sext From Lex, We are still waiting vainly by Our rotary phone for so much as one sext.  We’d accept even a dyslexic sext, at this point…a dyslexic sext being, naturally, one in which you clock out with your rocks out.


Or wang out in your hangout.



Everybody Wang Chung tonight.



It’s like We’re losing Our mind…



Changing gears,  The Little Show That Could, LOOKING FOR URANUS: Starzina Starfish-Browne’s Comeback Tour , will be returning for one night only on Sunday, November 10 at 7:30 at L’Etage.  Get your tickets here:  http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/499391  . Dammit.





And here is the HorrorScope:




Google would like Us to know that it is Edith Head’s 116th birthday.  We are guessing that’s more cake We’re not going to have.  Perhaps We’ll just go have some Very Special Brownies with Joaquin Phoenix.




Meanwhile, it is getting later by the second here at Casa de Curmudgeon, and We were looking for a  way to expedite Our usual call-and-response with AssHatt Kelli’s horoscope, when We discovered that today’s hrosocpe digest said this:




If you’ve got kids, today is all about them — even more so than usual. The good news is that your energy is in sync with little ones. If you don’t have any, find a friend who does and offer to babysit.



Seriously?  Have you MET Us?  Peace out, Bee-yotch. 



Namaste, MotherFuckers.



In gaseousness,


Starzina Starfish-Browne

Just another Psycho Psunday




Hello, Ducks!

Starzina Starfish-Browne here with your Eric’s Daily Horoscope for JustAnotherTwistedTuesday, February 7, 2012.  (Why didn’t they make a sequel to that “Manic Monday” song after it was a hit?  Hell, they could’ve had a whole album.  Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of the week….)  Also, happy birthday to Charles Dickens, who turns two hundred today.  Fucking hack.  Also also, happy birthday to Ashton Kutcher.  The only picture We seemed to have of him is above.  The inclusion of Justin Timberlake is just a perk.

As you can see, We’ve got nothin’.  Fortunately, We got plenty of it.

Actually, that’s not entirely true. You will no doubt be (as We were) both flabbergasted and flummoxed that the Jews for Jesus did in fact send Us their screener for review.  Don’t bate your breath just yet, though, as We shall probably not get to it until next week. And don’t bait your breath at all, as that’s disgusting.  (But if you figger out how to masturbate your breath, message Us privately.  And send pixtures.)

In other news, We are still attempting to fight Our way through bureaucracy on a daily basis.  Today’s stumbling block (after being given the runaround through dozens of different offices and departments):  “Our office is closed daily between the hours of 11:30 and 1:30”.  SERIOUSLY?  WHY???  That’s when you slaughter and pluck the chickens for lunch?  You’re rolling out your prayer mats to bow to the East?  Who the hell closes their office for two hours in the middle of the workday???

In still other other news, with regard to the decision We have been attempting to make, TCBITWWW says “do it!”  The rest of you say…something that sounds a lot like crickets chirping.  Mixed with the sound of one hand clapping.  Erasers.  So We’re guessing that We’re probably gonna do it.  Damn the torpedoes, fool Edith Head!  (What does that even MEAN?)


Speaking of Oscars™, please share Our Aquarius fillum with your friends:


(How was THAT for a goddamn segue? (No, really…Edith Head…Oscars™…oh, shut up.))

Also check out the other videos, which no doubt influenced Our friends the Jews for Jesus to ask for Our help.   Especially the “pick things up and put them down” parody: http://www.youtube.com/user/RickinPhilly?feature=mhee

Is it just Us, or do We seem to have been neglecting Charlene Tilton?  Also, here’s the HorrorScope:

Your amazing energy can help you make even the most mundane tasks — like making lunch — exciting thrill rides!  (Hey!  Wanna come over and watch Us choke the chicken?  (Then pluck it?  (The chicken for lunch…what did you THINK We meant? (Our office is closed between the hours of 11:30 and 1:30…))))

Kick things up a notch and see what comes next. (Alternatively, kick things up the crotch, and see what DOESN’T come next.)

It’s sure to be a blast!  (Well, naturally One would be induced to imagine so, what with the random exclamation point and all.  We can play that game too…watch:  Well!  Naturally One would be induced to imagine so! What with the random exclamation point and all! (See?))

 Whether you want to develop a business partnership or romantic relationship, don’t wait for the other person to make the first move right now.  (Do, however, decide very clearly which one you want to develop, because mixing them together is illegal in most states.)

Luckily, (Also, pluckily.  (Heh.  “Pluckily”.  Referring back to the chicken, you see.  (We kill Us.)))

today will offer you the perfect opportunity (And the perfect opportunity’s knockers.  Don’t forget the knockers.)

to take control and make your move. (Pawn to queen’s bishop four.)

(What?)

Grab it! (See?  We TOLD you not to forget the knockers.)

Don’t be too shy. (We’re working on that.  Trying to come out of Our shell more, as it (subjunctively) were.)

Now is the time for bold action. (And bald eagles. (But don’t get them mixed up with the motherplucking chickens.  They HATE that.))

(Were We the only one who didn’t know that “motherplucking” isn’t a word?)

You have much more power and influence than you might realize right now … and if you do not use it, you will lose it. (That is so totally untrue.  We have fifteen extra pounds that We’re using for absolutely nothing, and do We lose it?  NOOOOO….)

 If you’re feeling — well — different, you are.

(The preceding sentence is entirely dependent upon proper punctuation. (Have a happy period.)  For example, just by altering the comma and long dashes, One could get a veddy British:  “If you’re feeling well different, you are”.  Or Yoda: “If you’re feeling well, different you are”.  (Are We a cunning linguist, or what?  (Who said, “Or what”?)))

(Heh.  “Have a happy period.”  See what We did there?)

Something deep within your psyche has shifted and you’re ready to experience a higher level of emotional intimacy with a love interest. (Oh, my.  (Hmm…not sure We’ve ever had this issue before.  In the Royal We, should that be “Oh, Our”?))

Don’t let the intensity scare you off. (May We let the preceding sentence scare Us off?)

(Your Your-O-Scopes:
