Bittersweet.
I have great fondness and huge affection for my collection of floaty spheres. The way they glimmer in a rainbow-esque way as they drift on the slightest breath of air. Tragic is their painfully slow descent to an inevitable conclusion. Teasing me heartlessly all the way down until they disappear, leaving only a wet smudge on the polished timber surface. I'm inconsolable.

Then I dip the little wand into the magical tub of fun and create a whole new gathering of magical treasures. Sometimes it excites me so much I do a little wee.

I seen an electric bubble machine once, and I almost shat. I was deflated when upon closer inspection, I found it's products to be soul-less clones. Zombies devoid of any trace of character or soul, fluttering out like legions of the undead, threatening to overcome the world with their tainted cloudy mis-shapen forms. I hit their creator with a hammer until the threat to my globulous friends was no more and I could go back to marvelling at their aquatic beauty.


Fuck me - it must be getting close to home time if I'm spewing this kind of shite.

Hmm...
I think it's medication time.

Makes sense to me.
One of my things that I love is soap bubbles, especially catching them back on the wand and sticking a wet straw through the side to inflate them to the size of a basketball before letting them go again.

It's especially fun to do when there are babies or small dogs around.

filling them with smoke
as you blow them is great too

herbal essences shampoo is best for this

there's a trick to blowing to get the bubble started and then exhaling to fill it with smoke.

when they pop you get a beautiful little splash of smoke, and if you use the shampoo they smell nice too.

@ vipros
very interesting. I tried making smoky bubbles as I've seen it done by some talent show trickster. I never could get it to work though. I think the smoke 'popped' them.

*Runs off to buy superior 'herbal essences' bubble ingredients*
