Janie’s got a gun





Hello, Ducks!




Starzina Starfish-Browne here with your Eric’s! Daily! Horoscope! for WinesDay, March 26rd, 2014.



We were so afraid that We were going to have nothing to talk about in here today.  Fortunately, at the last possible second, the WorldWideInterWebNetz came to Our rescue and provided Us with this: http://www.queerty.com/man-with-three-balls-posts-nude-on-reddit-becomes-internet-sensation-overnight-20140326/



Despite the title, the link IS Safe For Work, although it leads, understandably, to NOT Safe For Work places.



Happy Birthday, meanwhile, to Jonathan, who turns twenty-four today right here in The City Of Brotherly Love Handles.  It has only just occurred to Us this very minute that Jonathan, as an Aries, is in a relationship with Our Birthday Twin Katy, who is also an Aries.  This Same-Sign Relationship issue is addressed at some length in Our show, Looking for Uranus: Starzina Starfish-Browne’s Comeback Tour, on which We have not yet given up.  No matter what the rest of the world has done.



(You did all understand that “Birthday Twin” means that Katy and We share the same birthday, didn’t you?  Because were you (subjunctively) to see Katy and Us together, you would certainly be able to tell Us apart. (And if you think Katy is grateful for that, just imagine how Jonathan feels.))



Happy Birthday also to Cheryl, who also turns twenty-four today, also right here in The City That Loves You (On Your) Back.  Happy Birthday also too to Damian, who also too turns twenty-four today, albeit elsewhere in The State In Which We Live (Pennsylvania, that is.  Not Confusion.)



There’s just nothing like a good “albeit”, is there?  Cleanses the soul.



In other news, Happy Belated Birthday to David, and Ryan, and, last but not Lee Strasberg, to The LovelyAndTalented Ed. (We have not seen The LovelyAndTalented Ed in person for quite some time, but photographic evidence from SitOnMyFaceBook indicates that he is, in fact, still Lovely.   We are, on the other hand, assuming that he is still Talented, thereby making an ass out of Uma Thurman.  As One does.)




We have moved into the glorious sign of Aries, the harbinger of Spring (never mind all the crap they fed Us about snow yesterday. And the fact that it’s eleventy-two billion and twelve degrees below zero outside.).  Our Aries video is above, and here is the link with which you may share it with your friends:



Also, for those of you who like cups of tea, and history, and someone in a tree, here is Our previous Aries video, featuring Our mother, Rosie Starfish, for comparison:




Also also, now that We have left Pisces, We need to randomly mention Johnny Depp, to return him to Number One Cited Celebrity status here at Eric’s!Daily!Horoscope!  We wouldn’t want him to get mad.



And heereeeere’s the HorrorScope:



So it is Robert Frost’s birthday today.  (Who did you think We were gonna say?  Steven Tyler?  Leonard Nimoy?)


Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I ate a piece of shoo-fly pie,
And then I sang “Pomp and Circumstance”.



You can tell Robert Frost is a great poet because you have no fucking clue what he’s talking about.





Try to blaze new ground today — your energy is best spent pioneering.  (Who the fuck are We…Laura Ingalls?)




You may need to go it alone, (Wow.  There’s a hot news flash.)




 because things are a bit too dicey for some of your stodgier friends or colleagues.  (“Stodgier”…now there’s a word you don’t see every day.  Sure, you see “stodgy”  (having lots of stodge) , and “stodgiest”  (having the most stodge, or, under certain circumstances, having ALL the stodge), but you rarely see the comparative “stodgier”.  Mainly because quantities of stodge are measured in a long-forgotten unit of measurement akin to the dram and the furlong, making it difficult to ascertain relative degrees of stodgiousity.)




(But seriously, who the fuck are We…Laura Ingalls?)




You have another day to do exactly what you know you were born to do: Mingle. (Well, you know what They say: “Have Pringles™, will mingle.” (Laura Ingalls?))




(You know, if you think of all the things They say that They say, it’s a miracle anyone still listens when They talk.)




By late this evening, you’ll be ready for at least a day off from socializing — and you’ll have it.  (We have a full day of work tomorrow’ if you can imagine such a thing.  Lord knows, We can’t.)




The stars make sure you get a nice break from the spotlight.  (Oh, please.  If We get any more of a “break from the spotlight”, We’ll be painting Helen Keller’s darkroom black.)




Even when it comes to a sign as fiery, outgoing and personable as yourself, it’s easy to see how home might be the only place you’ll really want to be now.  (Well, either home, or Johnny Depp’s underwear drawer.)




Think of it as a snuggle-fest.  (You do realize, We live alone, don’t you?)




 If you can’t figure out what to do today, turn on your computer and check your inbox. (We would just like to point out at this juncture that Ass Hatt Kelli’s horoscope is ONLINE.  So if We hadn’t (subjunctively) already turned on Our computer, We wouldn’t be reading her advice to TURN ON OUR COMPUTER.)




(Ass.  Hatt.  Wearing her Ass as a Hatt.  Since 2001.)




You may find a sweet, surprising message there — likely a new beginning or an important ending. Either way, it’s for the best. (Okay, that says that there are two best ways.  Words have MEANINGS.  Ass Hatt.)


(But seriously…Laura Ingalls?)




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.

When Irish guys are smiling






Hello, Ducks!




Starzina Starfish-Browne here with your Eric’s! Daily! Horoscope! for WednesdayAdamsButWednesdayAdamsICannotWriteWithAnyStyleOrProperEtiquetteIDon'tKnowAParticipleFromAPredicateIAmJustASimpleCobblerFromConnecticut, March 12st , 2014.



Happy Birthday to TheLovelyAndTalented Sean, who turns twenty-four today, all the way out in WeHo, El Lay. (Sean is most likely NOT in WeHo, although he IS in El Lay.  But whenever We imagine El Lay, We imagine WeHo, as that is Where The Bois Are.  (Apropos of nothing, when Sean used to live on The Right Coast, he lived for a while in GeHo.  Which We almost NEVER picture, and the reason for whose name no longer even exists.))




Are We babbling today?  We feel like We’re babbling today.




Did We wish a Happy Birthday to TheLovelyAndTalented Sean yet?  We might have, but We weren’t listening to Ourself.  Did We mention that, in addition to being Talented, he is Lovely?  We used to say, back when We had people to say things to, that he was sculpted out of white chocolate.




Good thing no one listens to anything We say NOW.




Happy Birthday also to Michael, who also turns twenty-four today (Fo’ Realzies…imagine that), right next door to The City That Loves You (On Your) Back.  In New Jersey.  Or, to continue with today’s running and yet unfunny joke, NeJo.  Michael is, coincidentally, also Lovely.  He may be Talented as well, but We have no evidence whereby to judge.



We are apparently still baaaaabbbling away.  Babbling like Brooke’s dress shields.



What?



In case you are wondering why We are babbling (which, naturally, you aren’t, but We are attempting to maintain the fiction (is this thing on?)), We are having an especially crappy week to cap off an especially crappy month, and We ain’t talkin’ ‘bout the weather.  We seem to have come, unexpectedly, to a fork in the road, and We are attempting to maintain control over which way We wind up turning.



Unfortunately, it is unclear to Us whether We are Robert Frost or Roberta Flack.



(We have no fucking clue what that meant, but it sho’ nuff did sound clebber, dinnit?)



Did We wish Happy Birthday to Sean and Michael yet?  Did We mention that they are Lovely and Talented?  Did We say that We are picturing them wrestling naked in a hot tub full of white chocolate?  (Oooops…was that the outside voice?)



And We wonder why no one listens when We talk…



  Meanwhile, in ass(tromalogical) ho(roscopular) news, We have entered the sign of Pisces, Our most recent video for which is above.  Here is the link with which you may share it with your friends: http://youtu.be/KMNgwWwNux8 




Because you do that, don’t you?  DON’T YOU?



And here, because We can resist no opportunity to share it, is Our FIRST Pisces video, starring the now non-teen-aged Justin Bieber.  :





In horrifying news, We had better best get the fuck out of Pisces FAST, because We just discovered that Justin Bieber has now surpassed Johnny Depp as Eric’s!Daily!Horoscope!’s most-cited celebrity.  Jeebus.






And now, the HorrorScope:



You need to work out some of this great energy — so go have an adventure!  (Oh, no doubt We shall.  Of course, it will most likely be an adventure called “Poseidon”, but, hey.  Who’s counting?  Or accounting?  Or Count Chocula™?)




(Ooops…sorry.)




It may be at work or out in the wild, (Not that those are exactly mutually exclusive.)




but your amazing vigor is a sight to behold. (“Vigor”?  Izzat what the kidz are calling it these days?)





Others are quite impressed!  (With what?)




You’re more observant than usual, (Sorry…did you say something?)




(Heh.  SWWDT?)




especially when you stand to benefit from your discoveries. (We do so desperately want to make a “disc ovaries” joke here.  Unfortunately there aren’t any.)




Your eyes are open wide and nothing escapes your gaze. (Well, DUH.  Our eyes are open wide, so We have a gaze.  If We squint a little, We’ll have a gazelle.)




(Also, Our eyes are on the sparrow.  Or Ronan Farrow. One of those.)




This is a great day for detective work. (Good thing We look like Miss Marple then, innit?)




You find it easy to stay one step ahead of those around you. (That’s pretty simple when everyone’s avoiding you.)




You shine with an inner light. (She neglected to add, “Because you have uranium up Uranus.”)




(It’s not every sentence that has three words in a row beginning with U.)




(Unfortunately (heh), that still doesn’t help Us figger out if We are Robert Frost or Roberta Flack.)




(Still dunno what that means, but that won’t stop Us from saying it.)




The excitement that surrounds you motivates everyone else to have a more positive attitude.  (Of course…they are positive they want to put a stop to Our excitement.)




Your life feels like an action flick today, (Mmm-hmm. Ticked-Off Trannies With Knives.)




with you as the star!  (Dearest Darlingest AssHattedest Kelli: is the exclamation point meant to indicate that you are SURPRISED that We are the star of Our Own life?  Because fuck you.)




Find someone who can keep up with you, (It’s not so much finding someone who CAN as it is finding someone who WANTS TO.)




then challenge them to top you in finding adventure. (Yeah, whatever.  If anyone’s looking for Us, We’ll be in a hot tub full of white chocolate with Sean and Michael.)





Namaste, MotherFuckers.
