I’ve got a lovely bunch of coconuts






Hello, Ducks!






Starzina Starfish-Browne here with your Eric’s! Daily! Horoscope! for JustAnotherManTitzMonday, September 30rd , 2013.  Happy The Queen’s Birthday to all of Our Australian readers down under, watching their toilet water go down the wrong way.



That was positively lyrical, wunnit?  Sittin’ on the dock of the bay…watching Our turds go down the wrong way…




Kiss Us quick, We’re Otis Redding’s proctologist.



Happy Belated Birthday, meanwhile, to Eric, (no, not THAT Eric…although feel free to send cards, gifts, and Strip-O-Grams™) who turned twenty-four this weekend right here in The City That Loves You (On Your) Back. Happy Belated Birthday also to Patricia (who may or may not be “THAT Patricia”, because We have no idea which Patricia you might be thinking of (although she’s NOT the Australian one)), who also too turned twenty-four this past weekend.



And, last but not Lee Strasberg, Happy Belated Birthday to Chad, who turned not-quite-twenty-four this past weekend Somewhere In Jersey (yes, THAT Jersey).



In other news, from the Just In Case You Thought You Didn’t Have Enough To Worry About Already Department, We just learned that ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY PEOPLE are killed every year by falling coconuts.




Oh, and Universe?  We are too busy to have this cold AGAIN.



And what, you ask, are We been so busy with?  Well, trying to get you to stop using prepositions with which to end sentences, for one thing.  But, more importantly, with remounting (ooooohhhh!) Our show, LOOKING FOR URANUS: Starzina Starfish-Browne’s Comeback Tour, the best-kept secret of the 2013 Philadelphia Fringe Festival, so that everyone who was too busy Fringing can have a chance to see it.  So get your tickets now, kidz; We’re doing it one night only, Sunday, October 13 at 7:30 at L’Etage:

And here is the HorrorScope:




Meanwhile, in celebrity birthdays, Chances Are…Johnny Mathis is a fag.  Also, Greg Brady (aka Barry Williams) is FIFTY-NINE.  Which is, in a bizarre coincidence, the age Robert Reed (who played his father, Mike Brady) was when he died.



[Insert Twilight Zone theme music here.]




Your brave heart is legendary, (Well, that’s as may be, but We certainly hope you don’t think We’re painting Our face blue.)




so take the time to choose your battles with care today. (Also, your bottles.)




The right word or action at the right time — hard as it may be — can make life far better for everyone concerned.  (So many words, and all We heard was “hard” and “better”.)




Your energy is positively bursting out of you today, (Damn control-top pantyhose are out of control again.)




shining bright light and positivity on everyone you will encounter. (Yeah. ‘Cause THAT sounds like Us.)




To make the best use of all of this contagious enthusiasm, dive into projects or adventures that involve a lot of other people — the more diverse the group is, the better!  (Didja ever get the feeling that you’d totally stumbled into Someone Else’s Horoscope?)




You are especially well-tuned toward other cultures and beliefs, and your mind is wide open to new concepts.  (We are so open-minded that everything has fallen out.)




There are important insights out there that you are finally ready to understand.  (Speaking of understanding, so you’re telling Us the INsights are OUT THERE?  Jigga what?)




So go see into them!  (Actually, for maximum confusion, that should probably be “so go OUT THERE and see INto them”.  AssHatt.)




(That was not a typo.  We have now decided that “AssHatt” looks better with two Ts.)




Working on home projects and just getting organized is a great way to spend the day — especially since busy hands let your heart and soul ponder things in a positive way. (We are “working on” selling tickets to Our show.  Go buy some, won’t you: http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/478137 ?)




 Sort it all out, at home and inside. (Again, with the “in” and “out”.  And not in (heh) a good way.)



In gaseousness,


Starzina Starfish-Browne

Like a rhinestone cowboy





Hello, Ducks!






Starzina Starfish-Browne here with your Eric’s! Daily! Horoscope! for  GoodPieRupeeTuesday, September Twoth, Twoth Ousandthirteen.   We trust you all had a laborious Labor Day.  We know We did. 



Happy Belated Birthday, meanwhile, to OurAmericanCousin David, who turned twenty-four this past weekend all the way out in Michigan.  Which, We learned recently, is near something called “Wisconsin”.  (Actually, We already knew where Michigan was; it’s this Wisconsin” thing that was news to Us.  Geography is difficult, especially around the holidays.) 



(Did We mention that We found out where Wisconsin is because We know someone who’s there (temporarily)?  We figgered, if We know where it is, maybe We can help him find his way back at the end.)



Happy Belated Birthday also to Jackie, who turned twenty-four this past weekend On The Way To Cape May, New Jer-Zay. (Since that sounded like a song, We decided to make it rhyme.  Because We can do what We want, and you are not the boss of Us.)



Also, Happy Belated Birthday to Our Labor Day babies (are We Stephen Fucking Sondheim in here this morning, or what?) Charlie, who turned twenty-four yesterday in New York (the one in New York…We even know where it is!), and Mike, who turned twenty-four yesterday right here in the suburbs of The City That Loves You (On Your) Back, and Tony, who  turned twenty-four yesterday in Hollywood.  Florida.  (So would that be East Hollywood?  We are confused…)




We just erased a really mean observation about someone’s lack of manners.  Miss Manners would be so proud.




So We finished Our script over the weekend, and read it for Our director.  It is supposed to be an hour; the reading was 59 minutes.  Which means We can cut some.




Meanwhile from the Math Is Hard Department:  the current script is about 7000 words, and lasts an hour.  The Wedding Consultant lasted an hour and twenty minutes, and was 28000 words.  Jigga WUT?!?




That said, please go and buy tickets for Our Fringe show,  LOOKING FOR URANUS:  Starzina Starfish-Browne’s Comeback Tour:  





Also, tell your friends, etc.  We have been a little preoccupied with, ya know, making there be a SCRIPT for the damn thing that We haven’t quite been the lean, mean publicity machine We might otherwise have been.




(That paragraph works best if you pronounce that last “been” as “bean”.  You DID pronounce that last “been” as “bean”, didn’t you?  If not, We’ll wait whilst you go back.)




There is also a SitOnMyFaceBook event here: https://www.facebook.com/events/706806152678843/ for your convenience in sharing on that platform.



 

Apropos of nussing, here is this: http://benedictcumberbatchgenerator.tumblr.com/‏





And here is a video clip in which Zac Efron has no shirt on: http://www.queerty.com/watch-zac-efron-shirtless-instagram-20130903/ You’re welcome.




And here is the HorrorScope:




Okay, Mark Harmon is SIXTY-TWO today, and Keanu Reeves is FORTY-NINE.  These fucking celebrities need to stop having birthdays, because they are making the rest of Us feel old.




Your bold (And beautiful…don’t forget beautiful.)




action makes life a lot better — and not just for you!  (Whaddaya mean, “not just for Us”?  Who the hell else is there?)




It’s one of those days when you show the world what you are made of, (Oh, please, Ducks.  Never show them how the magic is done.  They might think they could do it their own selves.)




and it sits up to pay close attention!  (Unfortunately, it then rolls over and plays dead.)




Take a risk.  (Take two; they’re small.)




 Are you feeling some anti-romance feelings right now?  (Oh, please.  We are the Black Hole of romance.)




(Wait…that didn’t exactly come out right.)




Feelings are just feelings, (Is anyone else singing “Feelings” now?)




(Whoa…whoa…whoa…FEEEEEELINGS….)




(Oh, is that song stuck in your head now?  Too bad, so sad, anal sex with your dad.)




so don’t let this worry you. (May We let it fret Us?)




 If you’re single, (…and you know it, clap your hands.)




you’re going to start to appreciate your independence in a whole new way.  (Mmm-hmm.  Because the actual word is “in Depends™ness”.)




But if you’re in a relationship or just starting one, you might struggle with this sudden urge to be by yourself.  (Okay, We’re fairly certain that sentence was composed of just a hunch of random words.  Not unlike a monkey flinging poo.)




Your partner will understand if you need your space, so don’t be afraid to ask for it. (Honey, if We’re asking for stuff, it’s gonna be a lot better stuff than space.)




Chances are,  (Johnny Mathis is a fag.)




the distance will help you both rejoice in coming back together.  (Why is it that people are always rejoicing, but We never see them joice in the first place?)




Are you daring? (We are glaringly daring, like a Waring™ blender’s ball bearings.)




(What?)




Of course you are, and with today’s big, bold, impulsive energy flowing right through you, (A euphemism if ever We saw one.)



you’re even more likely to take big risks. (Sounds risky.)




(We should point out at this juncture that We are also willing to take big frisks.  Just so ya know.)




 When it comes to your love life, why the heck not?  (Indeed.  You have clearly indicated that We should throw fucking caution to the cocksucking wind, what with your daring use of “heck” and all.  Stupid fucking asshatted motherfucker.)




In gaseousness,

Starzina Starfish-Browne
