Title: API: Starred story date parsing (starred_stories)

Update #1:
I added short_parsed_starred_date and long_parsed_starred_date,
Hope I did everything right never worked with Pyhton and Github before.

Original request:
I’m working on a new (C#) Windows Phone 8 NewsBlur application but I’m having a hard time parsing the starred date time because it contains Today/Yesterday and sometimes it does contain the year and sometimes it doesn't, the default (C#) DateTime.Parse doesn't recognize those words and will lead to a error.

Can you please add a separate long_parsed_starred_date to the starred_stories API
like the story_date and long_parsed_date in the river_stories API?

Example:
"starred_date": "2013-05-29 10:30:00",
"long_parsed_starred_date": "Wednesday, May 29th, 2013 6:30am",

This will help me a lot with finishing my application in the best possible way.
Thanks in advance and for been so open with your development progress.

Greets,
Arnold Vink
