as a kid I always confused Come Together and Bad, Bad Leroy Brown because they were both songs about outlandish dudes

I couldn't think of the last time Ive seen shoes hanging in telephone lines and now I'm worried I've grown soft and bougie but I've always been soft and bougie so what's changed?

is this a downstream effect of sneaker culture?

since the first of the month the apartment parking lot across the street from me now houses *two* sunshine orange subaru crosstreks

tough beat for the original owner; like if a second ukulele kid showed up in class at the start of junior year

the man in the hotel room next to me is attempting the 'Wasn't Me' defense while his ¿ex? wife just keeps repeating "You were sucking on her titties! You had her whole nipple in your mouth!"

I can imagine it so vividly --they'd do it up tempo; I can hear the singer shouting "When I was in third Grade I thought I was Gay"; I know just where the bagpipes would kick in

a photo of the 'Nothing in Drafts' icon from new Outlook 

a weirdly large graphic of an open envelope or maybe a vertical memo outbox with a single blank piece of paper in it with the and a floating pen like shape; all three elements are given shading suggesting three dimensionality but otherwise float shadowless on a flat background

the background, container, and blank page are all similar shares slate gray while the pen like shape is a color gradient that shifts from a short of yellowy lime green to cerulean in a way that suggests it is luminescent 

the left back of the container also has a cerulean color gradient as if reflecting light cast by the pen but the paper and the right back do not

none of the shadows are consistent regardless of whether or not the pen is supposed to be glowing 

below the icon is the text, "Nothing in Drafts / Start writing something fabulous."

taken together it's incoherent; what does any of this have to do with an empty drafts folder

I suppose maybe it's intended to be a gray container and paper on a white background intended to suggest you use the power of writing to conjure form out of darkness the weird gray on gray might be the result of dark mode design gore --although that would also be damning
