Hansel needs some sugar in his bowl

Hello, Ducks!

Starzina Starfish-Browne here with your Eric’s!Periodic!Horoscope! for Whenzdee,  May Turdteenfff, 2015.

We know you are shocked…SHOCKED, you tell Us…to find Us e-pisstlitizing for two consecutive days in a row.

We’ll come back to that in a moment.  In a muu-muu.  (That there was to give you something to pixture while We natter on.)

Happy birthday to Albert, and to David, and to Patrick, each of whom turns twenty-four today right here in The City Of Brotherly Love Handles.  Also, happy birthday to Beth, who turns twenty-four today all the way out in Al-t-t-toona Town.

We are, of course, in the sign of Taurus, Our video for which is above.  And here, because it is also brillllllliant, is Our original Taurus video:

Here are the links with which you may share those videos with both of your friends:

And, before We move on from birthday-whatnots, don’t think We haven’t noticed that We have not received birthday-suit-pix from so much as ONE of the gentlemen to whom We wished a Happy Belated Birthday yesterday…:

And now, in the time-honored tradition (well, since February-or-so, anyway) of Eric’s!Periodic!Horoscope!, We hereby wish Happy Belated Birthdays to the most-mouth-watering birthday suits to have celebrated birthdays since last We e-pisstled.  So, Happy Belated Birthday to Danny, Fernando, Gerard, Gregg, Israel, Keith, Mark, Matt, and Vince. (It occurs to Us that, when We’ve made such a list in the past, We’ve usually actually seen at least one or two of the birthday suits thereon.  This time?  Not so much.  One or more of all y’all oughta do something about that.)

…Don’t MAKE Us hunt you down.

And now, on to New Bidness:  We moved into OurHosueWhereWeLive a little over seven years ago.  Since that time, there has been a houseplant on top of the cupboards above Our stove, slowly (s-l-o-w-l-y) dying from constant exposure to steam and heat from cooking.  Today, it occurred to Us that perhaps said houseplant would benefit from being relocated to somewhere OTHER THAN the cupboards above Our stove.

Change is good.

But that is not, of course, the reason why We are e-pisstlitizing an e-pissode just one day after Our last Eric’s!Periodic!Horoscope! e-pissode.  We were aware, naturally, that Darren Criss had taken over as the latest star of John Cameron Mitchell’s Hedwig and the Angry Inch (and don’t think We’ve forgotten that no one bought Us tickets to see Neil Patrick Harris in same).  We had even seen a pixture or two of Darren in the role, although We didn’t pay a whole lot of attention (We have not been the world’s biggest Darren Criss fan, ever since he ate the show over at Glee.)

Today, however, on Our WorldWideInterWebNetz, We stumbled across a high-res curtain call pixture of him (which see above), and We may have to reconsider…

Does he have the world’s most adorable teeny-tiny itty-bitty ickle-bickle micronipples, or what?

(Is there an editor in the house?  Or a grammarian?  Should that actually be “ipple-bipple micronipples”?  Inquiring minds want to know.)

On the other hand, We are reconsidering Our reconsidering…he also has a teeny-tiny itty-bitty ickle-bickle package to go with them. (He cannot possibly be wearing the same leather shorts as Neil Patrick Harris…)

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 over 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.

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

Celebrity birthday news is another reason why We felt We had to e-pisstlitize today…it is Bea Arthur’s birthday, which is practically a gay holiday.  Also, it is the birthday of Our future ex-husband, Hunter Parrish.

And now, a reading from Madame Olivia, with an extra-clever juxtaposition of Uranus.  (You may not have even realized that We were thinking about Uranus…but We ARE!)

Greetings Starzina ~

How nice to be with you again.

Madame Olivia has a paradoxical thought about procrastination: it can sometimes be put to good use. If, for example, you are trying to resist an unwholesome impulse, like eating or drinking or doing a certain thing, try telling yourself I'll do it later. In short, put it off! This will give you time to distract yourself and strengthen your sense of personal control, and thus increase your life satisfaction quotient. Try it.

Dear Aries, we should talk about some challenges that could present themselves. Something might well happen that at first looks a little weird. Chalk it up to the movement of the planets, notably Uranus in Aries! However, If you just wait it out you will discover that this state of affairs will actually lead to a fantastic opportunity.

You are loved.

Godspeed and good wishes from Madame Olivia until next time.

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.

Hello, Ducks!

Starzina Starfish-Browne here with your Eric’s! Daily! Horoscope! for GoodPieRupeeTuesday, May 13^st  , 2014.

Happy Birthday to Patrick, who turns twenty-four today right here in The City That Loves You (On Your) Back.  Happy Birthday also to David, who also turns twenty-four today right here in The City Of Brotherly Love Handles.  And also additionally too, Happy Birthday to Beth, who also additionally too turns twenty-four today all the way out in Al-t-t-toona Town.

Also, Happy Decimo Tercero de Mayo to everybody else.

Speaking of birthdays, We are awaiting with bated breath (because We are nothing if not a master breath-bater) the arrival of Our birthday gift of tickets to see Hedwig and the Angry Inch starring Neil Patrick Harris and Leni Riefenstahl…

(We are just going to keep right on saying that until that show closes, thereby demonstrating the utter futility of Creative ViZZZualization.  (Although apparently We have viZZZualized well enough that one poor deluded Gentle Reader actually imagines that We already HAVE said tickets.))

(How many of you are now picturing Leni Riefenstahl as Yitzhak?  (We’ll wait.))

A brief (yeah, right), funny (not so much “funny: ha-ha” as “funny: he never asks for a second cup of bleach at home”) story:  We have been doing this “getting NPH’s co-star’s name wrong” gag for a few weeks now.  In (what passes for) Our mind, Yitzhak was being played by Lena Dunham (We don’t really know who she is), the star of something called Girls (We don’t really know what that is).  Today, as it turns out, is her birthday, so We were going to change up the joke and use her real name.  Lo and behold, when We Googled the whole mess on Wikipedia, it turns out that Yitzhak is ACTUALLY being played by someone named Lena Hall (We also don’t know who she is).

Now, on the down side, both of these women are famous, and We are not. On the up side, We have no earthly clue who the fuck either one of them is, would not know them if We fell over them, and most assuredly could not tell which one is which.

POP goes the culture!

In other news, We suddenly find Ourselves (not that We were looking for Us, but it’s a figger of speech) in the sign of Taurus, Our video for which is above, and here is the link with which you may share it with your friends:

http://youtu.be/iGNw4zF7MSs

Also, for those of you who like cups of tea, and history, and someone in a tree, here is Our previous Taurus video, which is somewhat of a fillum noir, if you will. (Or even if you won’t…since when is it all about you?):

And here’s the HorrorScope:

In IMPORTANT celebrity birthday news, Our future ex-husband Hunter Parrish was born today.

Your emotional side is in need of some attention — and you can make a real difference if you attend to your feelings. (WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?  HOW DARE YOU SAY A THING LIKE THAT TO US!  WE’VE HAD JUST ABOUT ENOUGH OF YOU!!!)

(Heh.   See what We did there?)

See if your people can give you the space you need to take care of this.  (Yeah, right.  “Our people”.   Now if only We could get one of Our people to get Our people on the phone…)

Your feelings may fly around like an unpredictable yo-yo today (A yo-yo is on a string…it is not the least bit unpredictable.  AssHatt.)

— so it’s not the best time to make any first impressions on anybody. (Especially anybody named Lena, We’ll wager.)

Stick with the folks who know you well. (Mmmm, sticky folks…Our favorite!)

You can’t control what kind of mood you’ll be in when you are with others, but if they already know you, they’ll be fine with whatever energy you put out. (Indiscriminate bastards.)

Your emotions are in control of your life for today.  (Wait…when did We get a life?)

Squeeze in some personal time today, (Oh, We don’t buy the personal time in the squeeze bottle…We buy it in the aerosol can.)

(Of all the things We’ve lost, We miss Our mind the most.)

or else you could find yourself moving at half speed or just feeling out of sorts. (This would be a good place for a poop joke.)

Do something that renews you and you start to feel — and look — just fine. (Yeah…like We can afford plastic surgery.)

Namaste, MotherFuckers.

In gaseousness,

Starzina Starfish-Browne

Hello, Ducks!

Starzina Starfish-Browne here with your Eric’s! Daily! Horoscope! for  JustAnotherMonkFishMonday,  May 13, 2013.  Happy Birthday to David, and Jeremy, and Patrick, each of whom turns twenty-four today, for a grand total of seventy-two.  (Seventy-two WHAT, We have no idea.)  Also, Happy Belated Birthday to Christine, who turned twenty-four over the weekend.

Friday’s e-pissode was clearly one of those “Why do We bother?” days, as alerts We sent out to its existence were resoundingly ignored in hostile droves.  And it was Birute Galdikas’s’ birthday and everything!  Perhaps people were just too busy baking Biruite Galdikas’s birthday cakes to pay attention.  In case that is the case Casey Kasem, here is a not-so-instant replay of Our Birute Galdikas Birthday Tribute.  You’re welcome.

Our celebrity birthday website, meanwhile, would like Us to know that it is Birute Galdikas’s birthday.  Ms. Galdikas, it would have Us know, in case Our memories were bumfuzzled (third time!  That word is OURS!), “worked closely with the orangutans of Indonesian Borneo in their natural habitat for almost four decades”. Now, of course, We all remember fondly the early works of The Orangutans of Indonesian Borneo, particularly their debut album, We’re the Orangutans of Indonesian Borneo, their sophomore album, Who You Callin’ Orangutans of Indonesian Borneo?, and their seminal third and fourth albums, You Rang? Born, Yo and Up Against the Wall, You Indonesian Motherfucker. Alas, this early promise was never to be fulfilled, as the lead singer promptly embarked on an ill-advised solo career, and the bass player married Yoko Ono’s gynecologist.  Fortunately, following the dark, dark disco period, and the nadir that was their Bond song, “My Dick Is Substantially Larger Than Yours”, they have been able to make a quasi-comeback as an ABBA cover band, and are currently enjoying some success playing gay weddings in Indonesian Borneo.

So, yeah, Happy Birthday, Birute Galdikas.

In other news, We were tiptoeing through the tulips of Our archives this morning, prior to performing preliminaries for a pending project (pee all over THAT, onomatopee-ers), and it came to Our attention that, early next year, the Justin Timberlake-Janet Jackson SuperBowl Intermission Wardrobe Malfunction Thingie will have been TEN YEARS AGO.  So there’s that.

Speaking of Our archives, you ARE aware that previous years of Eric’s!Daily!Horoscope! can be obtained for low, low prices as e-books (no, E-REALLY) at http://www.lulu.com/spotlight/epsingel ?  Aren’t you?

We feared, meanwhile, that after such a disastrous Friday, and a Saturday on which Our weekend seemed determined to take a turn for the perverse worse, that We were going to have to come in here and complain to all y’all this morning.  Not that We’re not a Highly-Trained Professional Complaining expert and all, but, fortunately, We seem to have been able to turn chicken shit into chicken salad.  At least temporarily.

To further repeat Ourselves, however, Our Friday alert was greeted with such a flurry of “DickSucking KnobGobbler has left the conversation” doorslamming (really…that’s how SitOnOurFaceBook signals that someone has left a conversation)  that We have no idea who actually was alerted by it and remained in the conversation, albeit ignoring Us all the while.  So, if perchance they are still within the sound of Our voice out where Mary Tyler Moore threw up her hat, or in case Our not-so-far-flung-and-who-knows-how-well-hung Eye-talian boi is still in da house, here’s this colorful manifesto:

Speaking of speaking of things of which We have recently spoken, We just came across the “speaking of” from Our most recent e-pisstle, to wit:

“Speaking of twenty-four-year-old Eye-talian boys who pole-dance in Our dreams…”  

…which caused Us to reflect, as much as One whose brains are as bumfuzzled as Ours canreflect, without a mirror or a reflecting pool, on the fact that the people spoken of in Our recent “speaking ofs” have all been real live people, and yet, not a one of them has responded to being spoken of.  (If that sentence were (subjunctively) in German, it would not end in a preposition, because German would no doubt have a word for “ofspoken”.  Because Germans are efficient like that.)

And so, in an effort to increase two-way communication here at Eric’s!Daily!Horoscope!, here is a review of some recent ofspokens, to give them all another chance to see themselves in print:

Speaking of twenty-four-year-old Eye-talian boys who pole-dance in Our dreams,

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”,

Speaking of “on Tuesday there was a naked guy from Minnesota where Mary Tyler Moore threw up her hat, on Wednesday there was a G-stringed stripper from Jersey, meanwhile, did We mention the guitar player?”

Speaking of woodchuck cock in a Jersey stripper’s G-string (is Our ability to develop a theme uncanny, or what?  (Who said, “Or what?”) (also, is it just Us, or is “uncanny” one of those words that sounds like it should mean something else entirely?)),

Speaking of “Capital One™: what’s in YOUR codpiece?”, We are still awaiting with bated breath (which, as We have explained many times before, is different than baited breath, because, eeeeuuuuwwww) photographs of codpiece contents from Minnesota.  To quote historically from yesterday:

“And now, having spent a full twenty-four hours reflecting upon Our naked Minnesotan, One wonders if it isn’t, in fact, a little cold in Minnesota to be naked.  Shrinkage issues, and whatnot.  Perhaps naked Minnesotan experts will weigh in on this.  Hopefully with photographic evidence.”

Speaking of “Is that the Virgin Mary in your Speedo™, or are you just happy to see Us?”,

Speaking of who do We need to blow to get some dick up in here, 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 the HorrorScopes:

Just when We thought nothing could top Birute Galdikas’s birthday, today?  Is Bea Arthur’s birthday!  It is also the birthday of Our future ex-husband, Hunter Parrish.

Your emotional surroundings are somewhat more difficult than usual — which may provoke some serious reactions in you!  (Nanny nanny poo poo.)

(What? Not serious enough?)

That’s okay, though, because sometimes honesty really is the best policy.  (But where does amnesty fit in?  Not to mention hoamnesty.  And amhonesty.)

(Cunning linguistics…it’s like aerobics, except for your tongue.)

(Okay, is anyone else now imagining their tongue wearing Spandex™ tights and an athletic supporter?  Just Us?  Alrighty, then.)

You might find that good energy is a bit hard to come by, today — everyone seems to be grumpy (Which is silly of them, when there are six other perfectly good dwarves they could be.  If they’re into that sort of thing.)

or holding a grudge that they just won’t let go of. (There’s really no other verb that pairs with “grudge”, is there?  Pretty much the only thing anyone does with a grudge is hold it.  Which is (A.) extremely predictable, and (2.) makes for an amazingly dull Kenny Rogers lyric.)

(We’ll pause here, to give those of you for whom that last joke was too e-soteric a chance to up-catch.)

Your first urge might be to try and cheer them up, but you should resist it. (Actually, Our first urge was to take a blowtorch to their crotchal areas.  Because that?  Would cheer Us up.)

Not only will trying to affect the moods of other people be a total waste of your time, it’s really none of your business.  (Wow.  Way to bring down the room with a cesspool full of negativity.)

Just focus on keeping yourself bright and cheerful.  (We shall commence to singing “Found A Peanut” in three, two, one…)

And the best way to ensure that is to keep your distance from the people who are in bad moods.  (Alternatively, you could walk a mile in their shoes.  Because then, you’re a mile away, and you’ve got their shoes.)

While this may not end up as one of your favorite days ever to grace your love life, (What was your first clue?)

you do have a deep, intuitive sense of the situation. (Why is it always a situation?  Why can it never be a liedownuation?)

Work it hard if you want to pick up some fresh understanding. (We heard that you get a discount if you pick up some peace and love with that.  (No one, however, will find it funny.))

In gaseousness,

Starzina Starfish-Browne
