If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it

Hello, Ducks!

Starzina Starfish-Browne here with your Eric’s! Daily! Horoscope! for  JustAnotherMagicMikeMonday, August 5^st , 2013.  Because any day that starts off with male strippers can’t possibly be all bad.  You’re welcome.

First and Formosa, welcome back to Connie, who has been on an Eric’s!Daily!Horoscope!  hiatus.  It is unclear to Us how, having once received these e-pisstles, one could subsequently voluntarily forego them, but whatevs.  She is back, from outer space, she just walked in to find Us here with that sad look upon Our face, she could have changed the stupid lock, she could have made Us leave Our key, if she had known for just one second We’d be back to bother she…

Sorry.  We forgot Ourself.  Once again behaving in a manner We had sworn to eschew (gesundheit (thank you)).

Seconal, what has Connie missed, We hear you all asking.  Well, as We don’t exactly recall the length of her hiatus (and as that’s not a question One can just blurt out in polite company…”How long is your hiatus?”  Miss Manners would rap One’s knuckles with her shrimp fork.), We cannot say that We rightly know.  Any number of Time of the Month Horoscope  videos, no doubt, and, of course, Our most important project of late, the Kickstarter fundraiser for Our upcoming Fringe Festival show, LOOKING FOR URANUS:  Starzina Starfish-Browne’s Comeback Tour ,   which can be found here:   

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/635878991/looking-for-uranus-starzina-starfish-brownes-comeb  

When you do go there, you will need to click on the big pixture of Us in order to play the video, which should amuse you even if you are unable to contribute to the project.

Another way to help out (and thanks to the many of you who have already done this) is to share the project with your SitOnMyFaceBook friends.

 Also thanks to all of Our early-bird investors (why exactly One would WANT a worm is somewhat beyond Us, but whatevs), whose generosity has pushed Us over the 25%- funded mark!

(Please do NOT let this fact deter you from helping out…We only get the funds if We become 100% funded.)

Thirdly and lastly, but certainly not leastly, (and not Lee Strasberg at all), Happy Birthday to Corey, who turns twenty-four today somewhere in Greater Bostonia.  Also, Happy Birthday to Michael, who turns twenty-four today right here in The City That Loves You (On Your) Back.

Fourthfully (which is either fourthly, or “forcefully” with a lithp), We have lied about the “lastly” bit.

Fifthfully (which is obviously fifthly, as there would be no earthly reason for “fitfully” to have a lithp in it), Happy Belated Birthday to Andrew, and Gloria, and Randino, and OurAmericanCousin Monica, each of whom turned twenty-four this past weekend.

And now, for realzies this time, last but not Lee Strasberg (I case you didn’t get that joke the first time), congratulations to Kevin and Tyson, who We just learned have gotten engaged.

And here is the HorrorScope:

Happy Slow Day In Celebrity Birthdays to Maureen McCormick of The Brady Bunch and Loni Anderson of WKRP In Cincinnati.

It’s a great day to get started on something new  (Oh, goody!  Perhaps We shall roll a fresh crisp new piece of typing paper into Our trusty old Smith-Corona typewriter and type “Lights up” to begin Our Fringe show script.)

(Extra credit points to anyone who is actually picturing that right now.)

— even if you’re not completely sure of yourself. (What if We’re not completely sure whether or not We’re not completely sure of Ourself?  Then what?  Huh?)

Try harder to rope others into your arrangements and find new ways to collaborate.  (We are guessing that, if We actually get some poor schnook tied up with rope, “collaborate” becomes a euphemism.)

Your opinions are valid, but you had better not expect everyone to agree with them right now!  (Especially the invalids.)

(Heh.  See what We did there?)

So give up (Why didn’t you just say that right in the beginning?)

trying to change anyone’s minds before you even get started, today — everyone is feeling like sticking to their guns instead of opening their minds. (Oh, good.  A bunch of closed-minded people shooting each other.  Welcome to ‘Murrica.)

(It is clearly “last-minute bulletin/this-just-in” day here at Eric’s!Daily!Horoscope!, where it has just come to Our attention that it is National Underwear Day.  We’re not quite sure what to do with that information, as We are not currently wearing any underwear.)

(Extra credit if you are now picturing Us banging away on Our trusty Smith-Corona typewriter with no underwear on.)

(Sorry.)

(We’ll pause here, while you mental floss.)

Instead, you will make better use of your time if you channel your emotions into a creative pursuit like cooking, singing, or even shopping!   (Does any sane person actually qualify shopping as a “creative pursuit”?)

Avoid banging your head against a wall with a bunch of folks who just don’t get it.  (We are an unemployed editor/proofreader, and AssHat Kelli just got paid to write a sentence that implies that We should only bang Our head against the wall with folks who “get it”.  Welcome to ‘Murrica, Part Deux.)

Try not to unload emotional energy on anyone new in your life.  (Would that be like that “collaborate” business from earlier?)

What you’re feeling doesn’t really have much to do with them. (We don’t seem to recall ever figgering out who this person is that We’ve got all tied up with rope…)

Find another outlet — chat up a friend or give your place a rigorous and symbolic cleaning.  (Symbolic cleaning is Our favorite kind.  Our symbols wind up the cleanest when We dance to Tchaikovsky’s “Dance of the Feather-Duster Fairies”.)

(If you’re picturing THAT, Our humblest apologies.)

(And We’re outtie…)

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.

                                                                                                                                     

Why don’t you tell me ‘bout the mystery dance?

Hello, Ducks!

Starzina Starfish-Browne here with your Eric’s! Daily! Horoscope! for  Friday, August Twoth, Twoth-ousand thirteen.  Happy birthday to Edgar, who turns twenty-four today somewhere in Greater Bostonia.

We are very excited today, as, at Our murder mystery this evening, We are having guests!  That practically NEVER happens!  (Our employer, of course, would have it that We ALWAYS have “guests”, however, in this instance, We mean personal guests whom We know.)

(In case you were concerned that We had suddenly gone sane, We will have you know that, when We typed “at Our murder mystery” up there, We distinctly heard Kathy Bates’s character from Misery saying, “At Our murder mystery, Mister Murderer, now get in the cock-a-doody car!”)

This being the fourth day We are mentioning this, perhaps even the naked skimmers are catching up:  being on the cutting edge of hip-hop-happenin’ modern trends as We are, We are attempting to raise funds to produce Our Fringe Festival show,  Looking for Uranus: Starzina Starfish-Browne’s Comeback Tour,  via crowdsourcing. 

To that end, We have launched a Kickstarter project (Kickstarter being one of the two major crowdsourcing websites), which you should go and look at here:  http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/635878991/looking-for-uranus-starzina-starfish-brownes-comeb  When you do go there, you will need to click on the big pixture of Us in order to play the video, which should amuse you even if you are unable to contribute to the project.

Another way to help out (and thanks to the many of you who have already done this) is to share the project with your SItOnMyFaceBook friends.

Also thanks to all of Our early-bird investors (why exactly One would WANT a worm is somewhat beyond Us, but whatevs), whose generosity has pushed Us over the 25%- funded mark!

(Please do NOT let this fact deter you from helping out…We only get the funds if We become 100% funded.)

And here is the HorrorScope:

Okay, Butch Patrick, who played Eddie Munster?   Is sixty today.  If anyone’s looking for Us, We’ll be pooping Our Depends™ while We drink a vodka and Geritol™.  (Do they even MAKE Geritol™ anymore?  Or does saying “Geritol™” to denote “something that old people use” peg One as an old person, because they don’t even make it any more?  (We just Googled Geritol™ on Wikipedia…they DO still make it.  Also, it is 12% alcohol.  Kiss Us quick, We’re Lucille Ball.))

Details are aggravating today  (Also aggravating is the leg cramp with which We woke up, which is clearly going to impede Our errand-running progress.  Sigh.)

— you’ve got to either skip past (Well, okay.  If, by “skip”, you mean “limp”.)

them or delegate them to someone who can handle them with more patience.  (Hmmm….”someone with more patience”….well, that narrows it right down to, oh, say, ANYDAMNBODY.)

Keep your eyes on the big picture!   (Was that a fat joke?)

Someone who is far away is going to be on your mind today  (Indeed.  ‘Cause he posted hawtt pixtures of hisself on the InterNetz.)

— and you are on their mind as well. (We somehow doubt that.)

(Let’s just hold Our breath here and wait for him to get in touch, shall We?)

In fact, they’ve been thinking about you for a while now and are eager to get back in contact — perhaps they’ve even started a game of phone tag with you.  (Mmm-hmm.  “Phone Duck-Duck-Goose” more like.  Except without the goose.)

(Does anyone have a clue what the hell We’re talking about?  Because We seem to have lost the thread…)

If so, today you need to make an extra effort to reconnect with them.  (Remind Us exactly why WE always have to make all the (useless, futile) extra efforts?)

Not all of the people from your past are meant to be left there.   (Um, yeah, they pretty much are.  Because otherwise, life’s just one big long game of emotional Whack-A-Mole™, and ain’t nobody got time fo’ dat.)

(Does it occur to anyone else that “Whack-A-Mole” looks as though it should rhyme with “guacamole”?  Just Us?  Alrighty, then.  At Our murder mystery, Mister Murderer, now get in the cock-a-doody car!)

It’s time to buckle down (Also, buckle up for safety, buckle up!  (What was that part about Geritol™ again?))

and get back to racking up some accomplishments. (And hacking up some hairballs.)

That could mean doing a little love-related research (Is that a  euphemism?)

or a follow-up with a recent date, (Unfortunately, Our most recent dating was carbon dating.)

but make sure you take some kind of action soon.  (Why?  There’ll just be an equal and opposite REaction.  (Kiss Us quick, We’re Sir Isaac “Big Fig” Newton.))

In gaseousness,

Starzina Starfish-Browne

Holding out for a hero

Hello, Ducks!

Starzina Starfish-Browne here with your Eric’s! Daily! Horoscope! for  ThurstonHowellTheThirdsDayThursdayThorsDayWeOnceActuallyKnewAPersonNamedThorWhoDoesThat?  August 1^th , 2013.

We are currently so far behind that We are being forced to look at Our Own ass.  No wonder no one ever wants to hang out with Us.   Consequently, We are going to put on some briefs and make this suck sinked.

When you visit Our KickStarter, you need to click on the big pixture of Us in order to play the video.

We have alluded previously to Our upcoming Fringe Festival show, Looking for Uranus: Starzina Starfish-Browne’s Comeback Tour, tickets for which are (parenthetically (despite the absence (until now) of parentheses)) now on sale at http://fringearts.ticketleap.com/looking-for-uranus-starzina-starfish-brownes-comeback-tour/#view=calendar

But now, through the magic of the InterNetz, We are offering YOU the opportunity to help Us produce said show!  Yes, ladies and genitals, boys and gerbils, We have launched a KickStarter crowdfunding project to help Us defray the initial outlay expenses.  Won’t you please go and check it out, and give what you can?  Here is the link: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/635878991/looking-for-uranus-starzina-starfish-brownes-comeb

And thanks to all of those early-bird investors (why exactly One would WANT a worm is somewhat beyond Us, but whatevs), We are already over 25% funded!

(Please do NOT let this fact  deter you from helping out…We only get the funds if We become 100% funded.)

 In fact, We had one investor a few minutes after the project went live, before We had so much as peeped about it elsewhere.  The WorldWideInterWebNetz are a miraculous place.

We trust you are all also enjoying Our new Leo video, which is, of course, above.  And here is the link with which you are no doubt already busily sharing it with all of your friends.  As you do.  http://youtu.be/6kCzNp1JtDo .

Meanwhile, nice day if it don’t rain.

And here is the HorrorScope:

It is Cymphonique Miller’s birthday.  Ya know, ya need a license to get a dawg, but apparently, ya can have a baby and name it any ol’ damn thing ya please…

We accidentally collected AssHat Kelli’s Leo daily horoscope before We noticed.  We sure hope she didn’t break a nail copying and pasting…

Here is Leo:

You’ve got a unique way of thinking, and today puts it in stark contrast to the more sedate frame of mind of those around you. Bust out with great ideas and show the world what you’ve got! 

Here is Aries:

You’re busting out with new ideas and schemes today — so take notes! It may be a better time to plan than to take action, but if something is super-hot, you might as well go for it now! 

We. Can’t. Even.

Leonardo DiCaprio.  There; that’s better.

Here is the rest of the Aires horoscope; do with it what you will:

Friends are the family you choose for yourself — and you have chosen very well! That will become all the more apparent today when someone backs you up in a potentially embarrassing situation. Once again, this person has come to your rescue! To repay them, don’t get out your credit card or make dinner reservations — tell them how much they really mean to you, how much you value them in your life. Honest communication like this will make a bigger impression on them than any gift could.Now is a great time to answer some of those online profiles you’ve been checking out! Keep your messages short, sweet and sexy, because a little flirting can go a long way right now!

In gaseousness,

Starzina Starfish-Browne
