Bryce Writes stuff, occasionally. Writing for fun, writing for self-expression, writing because it's the only way to get my thoughts out, sometimes. Curre...
Click here to view all chapters of this story. Rough draft, subject to change. Adeline thought she might hate working on Saturday again, but the work day went by like any other day without incident. After work, she rang Sarah again, hoping to meet up, go out together somewhere, just the two of them. Once again, she was told “Miss Sarah is not available at the moment.” “Then I will wait until she…
Click here to view all chapters of this story. Rough draft, subject to change. In just a few short weeks, Adeline had found her life very much changed. She’d faced a big change a few years ago, in the transition away from the failed farm into city life. That was a change that had gestated for some time, yet at first Adeline hated it, didn’t want to leave the only home she’d known, didn’t want to…
In my previous post about Oats and their milk there were some things that got left out, or things I want to expound on. Let's start with the thing I left out. Nutrition. I didn't bring it up before in large part because it was more or less completely irrelevant to the point of the post, which was the difficulties in availability of alt-milks. BUT it is worth noting. Quick disclaimer, I'm not a…
Boy, that last one was heavy, huh? Here's something light and silly! Oat milk! I've never been much of a cow milk drinker. I just never really cared for the stuff. I quit drinking it at a certain point in my youth (time is weird, I have no real conception of exactly what age I was, but IIRC it was probably elementary school), and even stopped putting it on my cereal. I'm not opposed to dairy. I…
I'm just throwing this out there, little to no editing. Partially I need to go to bed, partially I'm just trying to get this out and hopefully be able to thus let it go. It's kind of... negative, I guess, so if you don't want that, then please feel free to skip it and instead read any of the not-negative posts available here on the blog. My last post on this blog was a little meta/reflection…
Around six months ago I wrote a post about being in a rut , which was partially because I realized the last time I posted to the blog was around five months before that . Realizing that "rut" post was six months ago had me feeling a little reflective. In that older post I said I have to be okay if I don't post that often, but then in the "rut" post I kind of realized that I didn't like that. In a…
Click here to view all chapters of this story. Rough draft, subject to change. The benefits of saying “yes” to Mr. Cooke’s proposal were almost instantaneous, as it got Adeline a day off of work. He had approached her again Friday afternoon, and despite her inner voice saying “no”, she let her mother’s voice say “yes” through her. He told her he’d have his chauffeur come by her apartment Saturday…
Recently, I visited a local mall, as one does sometimes. I am not big on malls or shopping, can't really stand throngs of people, don't love monuments to lucre. But sometimes a store has something needed, or sometimes a visit to a coffee shop in the mall is what I'm after. Often, I bring a backpack with my laptop inside, so I can sit and work or write as I enjoy my coffee. I did so that day. On…
On the bearblog discover feed, I saw a post titled Start Dictating Yesterday , which you can click on and read if you so desire. The main argument of the post is that humans speak faster than they can type, and that "Three things have converged recently: the normalization of LLMs being a primary consumer of text input, the maturation of speech recognition models, and the commoditization of…
Once again I'm writing about two movies I've seen recently that share similar themes. Last time it was two films that came out in close proximity and had similar themes of crime, and being "period pieces". This time they are even more similar, both in theme and some very interesting parallels, which are very much spoilers, so I will get into those later. The main "idea" behind each film is being…
