A Tattle-Tale Sound: March 2015
http://www.taraacton.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
The Wind in the Wires. Wednesday, March 4, 2015. I went to the podiatrist for the first time in my life today. I should have gone when the pain began two years ago, because I enjoy self-knowledge, and I've never learned so much about myself in one sitting. What my therapist and I have discovered about myself in two years, this man summed up in five minutes. Well, in feet form. I left with a prescription for new shoes. I hope Scheel's takes Blue Cross Blue Shield. Monday, March 2, 2015. Kids will be kids.

A Tattle-Tale Sound: The Wind in the Wires
http://www.taraacton.com/p/wind-in-wires.html
The Wind in the Wires. The Wind in the Wires. In case you wondered. The title of the blog comes from Gordon Lightfoot's song "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald," detailing the true story of the sinking of the ship on Lake Superior. Though of course it's a tragic tale, I love his lyrics about the Great Lakes area, its people, and its elements. And later that night when the ship's bell rang. Could it be the north wind they'd been feelin'? The wind in the wires made a tattle-tale sound. Fetch me your most ...

A Tattle-Tale Sound: Someone Else's Art
http://www.taraacton.com/2012/10/someone-elses-art.html
The Wind in the Wires. Monday, October 22, 2012. Sometimes all you want to do is live in someone else’s art. Sometimes you don’t have anything inside of you that seems worth putting on to a piece of paper or a web page that seems worth sharing with the world. I still put things to the page, but these are pages only I can see. I saw Argo. And float away on Regina Spektor’s How. I want to order pumpkin pancakes and have their taste be the only thing I experience on a Sunday morning. Life as a Guiri.

The Wind in the Wires. Friday, August 31, 2012. Letter to a Rabbit. I would like you to inform you that, as a rabbit, you are not permitted to run across my lawn. As the Resident Dog, I must tell you that while it may have appeared excessive for me to burst into hysterical barks and launch all 19 pounds of myself firmly in your direction the moment I was let out for my morning constitutional, I was in fact just upholding the purpose of my existence.

The Wind in the Wires. Friday, March 1, 2013. How My Internet Habits Have Changed in the Last 15 Years. I was recently commenting to a friend that I was grateful to have lived through childhood before the glory of the Internet was made available to the masses. Ah, how unburdened my childhood was. No pressure to post on a blog. No Facebook friends to remove due to their bad punctuation. No memes with which to keep up. No bills to pay (unrelated). A simpler time. These days, my.

A Tattle-Tale Sound: Yours Truly
http://www.taraacton.com/p/yours-truly.html
The Wind in the Wires. I’m an MFA graduate of Northern Michigan University’s creative writing program, where I also taught writing classes to undergraduates. I previously studied English and Medieval Studies at the University of Iowa. After spending a few fantastic years studying and writing a lot of nonfiction in the UP, I returned to Iowa City. I am currently biding my time before superstardom (and also paying a few bills) by working in educational research. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Life as a Guiri.
