At last the stars are bright and shiny

When I walk out of the studio every week, I look. Can I see any stars, even in the city?  Is it a full moon?  How fast are the clouds moving?  Could that be…? I used to drive to the Read more ›

I’m ignoring our expiration date

I can’t even imagine an expiration to these times. Sure, sometimes it’s curtains for us but only so no one can see. When I talk about my last breath, it’s usually about catching it after a particularly fine romp through Read more ›

I wanna go on a huggin’ binge

I like huggin’. Nothing beats getting all bundled up in the battiness every week with you.  There will be some cuddling just we can have the all important “kuh” sound, but we’ll also have some frottage in our cottage. I’ll Read more ›

A girl without an umbrella relaxes in the rain

I know how to relax. Sometimes I might forget to do it, but nothing gets me more ready than a night in the rain.  A little mist through a window landing right on me, the sounds of the drops hitting. Read more ›

I wanna be your favorite snuggie

Who among us doesn’t appreciate a good snuggie? In this case, we’ll take the sonic snuggle of a guest appearance by Chandler Travis and Fred Boak, our Associate Producer and Valet (when Chandler’s not using him). In studio, I felt Read more ›

After many trajectorily successful years on WAIF…

It was the final episode of Bubbles in the Think Tank ORIGINAL on WAIF 88.3FM in Cincinnati. But the love continues on at Bubbles in the Think Tank EAST on WMFO 91.5FM in Boston. And it is agreed…we said all there is to Read more ›

But how’d I know I’d end up in charge of all these people?

We’ve spoken often of the ever embiggening staff of Bubbles in the Think Tank. I guess I’m just one of those gals who always needs a little more.  A little more excitement.  A little more attention.  A little more rest.  Read more ›

I’m gonna burn your bongos tonight

Oh, the rhythm. I know you hear it.  You listen so closely. Sometimes I notice that you even turn off all other distractions so you can hear each beat as it comes. I love to hear it, too.  And I Read more ›

A little hug becomes huge instantly

I like it when I get my first grab of you. You know the one.  That first moment when we get together and it’s like I can’t even wait to give you what you came there for. You aren’t even Read more ›

Here within your reach, if you’re big enough to take it

Many weeks, I feel like I have to really reach for the show.  Other weeks, the show reaches right out and grabs me. Sometimes it just takes me by the hand and guides me where I need to go, but Read more ›

You just keep right on wishing and all of my dreams will come true

You were wishing for what was on your mind. I was dreaming about what was on mine. So much happened to choose from.  I don’t see any way that we couldn’t have connected somehow. Could it have been Fred our Read more ›

I wish that I could blame it all on you

Just how many times can I reference “You, the listener” anyway? You know I like to invoke you whenever I can. To utter your “name” arouses me to the fact you’re really there with me. To vocalize your presence reminds Read more ›

For a chick who fills each cup until she falls out

Ruth Wallis has a way of diverting any episode of Bubbles in the Think Tank. It’s no secret what I fan I am of the bawdy broads of the 50s and 60s, when all you needed was somebody playing the Read more ›

Freedom is the handle on the bucket of your soul

Two bucket-centric posts in a row from Belinda.  At least I’ve got the stash ‘o’ pix.  But now for the “actual” content of today’s post. I’ve taken to choosing the titles of the posts for this site by looking at Read more ›

It’s called the cult of inspiration and it is rewarding

Back in the oft-heard chair of the WMFO studios (hey, it’s freeform…the chair can do what it wants), I felt right at home as I settled in for a night of Bubbles in the Think Tank EAST style silliness. But Read more ›

When we search our own hearts and not others

Each time I undertake another episode of Bubbles in the Think Tank, I’m searching for something. Sometimes I find it by the end of the episode, other times the next day.  Occasionally it takes years.  Good thing I’m not in Read more ›

How you ‘spect to get your corn meal made?

I’ve been thinking a lot about process lately.  Those who know me know that I frequently do, but that’s usually more about organizational process at work.  These days, it’s all about mine. Stunned to think that Belinda is thinking only Read more ›

How a radio show made me modulate myself

As long as I didn’t over-modulate myself. That would be the real shame. Bubbles in the Think Tank is many things to many people.  Sometimes many things to just one person.  On occasion it seems like it’s nothing to anyone Read more ›

Do You Recognize the 10 Early Warning Signs of a Clang!over?

1.  Catching yourself humming “Florida” on the train loud enough that other passengers notice. 2.  Ending the answers to all questions with “Sir!” 3.  Sending Scopitone clips to your parents. 4.  Suggesting to Chandler Travis that he may be in Read more ›
