(When you have the time, check out Try . She’s an amazing writer with unbelievable talent. I’m secretly jealous of her but I can’t say it because I’m supposed to be nice. The hardship of living among humans.) I put something up, by the way. (I know, big news.) On Okadabooks. Whaaat? You don’t know what Okadabooks is? Alright. I’ll be nice (again, the hardship of living among humans) and explain it to you. Okadabooks is a…place where writers can post their writing and readers can…read the writing that writers post. Yeah. And it’s really simple to use. You could go to their page, www.Okadabooks.com , or download the Okada books app from your mobile app store. You create an account, and you’re good to go. Oh, and it’s all free.  Yeah. Yeah, what I posted. It’s a short story. I wrote it forever ago for a contest, then couldn’t enter it, so…it sat on a certain hard drive for a long time. And I found it again some days back. So I pimped it some, added a minimalist cover,

So Usain Bolt has really never stood on a lower podium in all the Olympics he’s attended. Always on the highest one, in the middle. Ei. Ghana. When? Wheeen ? Côte d’Ivoire has won some oh (I was so happy I almost cried). You too win some! (This is the second part of an earlier post. You can read that one  here .) 5. Can anybodyyyy find meee somebody tooo love? *Rachel Potter voice* Yeah I think I need one of those. I think. I imagine people in relationships stay up late having winding conversations that end something like ‘You hang up’/ ‘No, you hang up’ / ‘No, you hang up’ and MTN is having a field day. You know what I stayed up thinking about in the past three weeks? (Who am I kidding? This stretches beyond those three weeks.) The thrill of watching Elaine Thompson finish ahead of Dafni Schippers. Is Shaunae Miller’s fall across the finish line something athletes will be replicating in coming days? Why did Jebet slow down before she finished…if she’d kept up the pace she

Some of us became temporarily nocturnal this month. We wanted to see if Usain Bolt will do his treble treble. That guy is too much fun. I enjoyed his brief bromance with Andre de Grasse. How will the Olympic world recover from Bolt’s exit? Anyway, I learned a few things. A few. 10. I’m not that much into sports. So it’s been said, that I like sports, and I do well because I follow it. Well, it took seventeen days of competition to prove all of that wrong. Apparently there are tons of sporting events that I never knew of. The Olympics happen once in four years, but in those intervals there are mini-Olympics, you know, indoor championships, the Diamond League, the IAAF championships. Handball leagues. BMX. Volleyball tourneys! Listening to those commentators harp on and on about this competitor’s season’s best and personal best and who won what earlier this year made me feel so dumb. All I follow is the NBA, barely, and the WNBA is dead to me, and my football knowledge is
