That’s awesome … I gotta get me one of those.
A tiger mother lost her cubs from premature labour. Shortly after she became depressed and her health declined, and she was diagnosed with depression. So they wrapped up piglets in tiger cloth, and gave them to the tiger. The tiger now loves these pigs and treats them like her babies.

The long afternoons she spent browsing through dictionary and thesaurus made for constructions that were inept, but hauntingly so: the coins a villain concealed in his pocket were “esoteric,” a hoodlum caught stealing a car wept in “shameless auto-exculpation,” the heroine on her thoroughbred stallion made a “cursory” journey through the night, the king’s furrowed brow was the “hieroglyph” of his displeasure.
From Atonement by Ian McEwan. This description is of a young girl, but it will give you an accurate idea of the way many adult “professional” writers fashion their sentences.

I’m thinking a Ryan Gosling marathon would go like this: First, “The Notebook,” where he’s young and impressionable, happy with Rachel McAdams. But then, he strays, and “Blue Valentine” happens! Gets with Michelle Williams and his life derails. She leaves him, he takes a job as a getaway driver and further explores his dark side, later getting with Kirsten Dunst for that movie. He kills her. Feeling empty, he turns to the life of a playboy for “Crazy, Stupid Love” and meets Emma Stone. Reforms. Everyone’s happy, except Rachel McAdams, who dies alone with Alzheimer’s.
Yes, it took 3 text messages, and yes, this movie marathon will happen.
I read books, edit articles and ride the train. My soft heart is hidden under several thick layers of sarcasm and judgment.
