There are two tracking numbers on it. One pointed at the nearby department store and originating in Illinois. The other pointed at me and originating in California. Both say they arrived seven days ago.07 Jul 2026 23:57 +0000at://did:plc:uvpyb4yvcllcho56rd2lay5j/app.bsky.feed.post/3mq3snls5pc2chttps://bsky.app/profile/vallian.net/post/3mooxijfn3226Dear unnamed company, Every time you've delivered my subscription in the last two years it has quietly appeared in my apartment's mailroom. So don't be offended that I ignored your random courier insistently buzzing my intercom to let him in.20 Jun 2026 03:54 +0000at://did:plc:uvpyb4yvcllcho56rd2lay5j/app.bsky.feed.post/3mooxijfn3226https://bsky.app/profile/vallian.net/post/3mdc6fu65dk2rGot caught up with last week's episodes of The Boyfriend. I'm loving the show, but I don't really know how to exist for a while after the binge ends. Like, how can you expect me to watch anything else?26 Jan 2026 02:16 +0000at://did:plc:uvpyb4yvcllcho56rd2lay5j/app.bsky.feed.post/3mdc6fu65dk2rhttps://bsky.app/profile/vallian.net/post/3md4icqqevk26Got tickets to the March #GMMtvFanDay29 and #LYKN concert in LA. I know there were a lot of people waiting just like me, but it really felt like someone at TicketMaster was slowly opening seats one by one rather than the whole venue at the same time.23 Jan 2026 19:57 +0000at://did:plc:uvpyb4yvcllcho56rd2lay5j/app.bsky.feed.post/3md4icqqevk26https://bsky.app/profile/vallian.net/post/3mbkx2c3gkc2mLast week sometime I finally bought a bottle of #gin to make simple drinks at home. Without any other equipment it's just been Gin & Tonics, but I'm liking it. Today I reached the bottom of the bottle and there wasn't enough for a normal full-sized drink so I thought to try and have it neat...04 Jan 2026 03:08 +0000at://did:plc:uvpyb4yvcllcho56rd2lay5j/app.bsky.feed.post/3mbkx2c3gkc2mhttps://bsky.app/profile/vallian.net/post/3macnsxwww22gSometimes you have to buy a $500 vacuum to finally motivate you to pick up the junk on your floor. And it takes sticking all this junk on your couch to motivate you to maybe get rid of some.19 Dec 2025 02:36 +0000at://did:plc:uvpyb4yvcllcho56rd2lay5j/app.bsky.feed.post/3macnsxwww22ghttps://bsky.app/profile/vallian.net/post/3lqr6hob3v22hI swapped my phone to light mode recently, trying to get as much light as possible to make it easier to read without glasses while I'm fresh and adapting to these new eyes. Most apps look really strange to me now 😊, but I do think it helps.04 Jun 2025 06:28 +0000at://did:plc:uvpyb4yvcllcho56rd2lay5j/app.bsky.feed.post/3lqr6hob3v22hhttps://bsky.app/profile/vallian.net/post/3lpvi5siyvc2zI've now had both #cataract surgeries as of yesterday. My list of notes for the blog post is quite lengthy, but I do want to give quick honorable mention to HOW AWESOME COMPUTER/PHONE SCREENS LOOK! Like, have they always been this beautiful? Exactly how long were my eyes broken?24 May 2025 06:07 +0000at://did:plc:uvpyb4yvcllcho56rd2lay5j/app.bsky.feed.post/3lpvi5siyvc2zhttps://bsky.app/profile/vallian.net/post/3loi2qdqml22sPart 2 of my cataracts journey, from diagnosis to today: https://dallinlauritzen.com/2025/05/05/blink-cataracts-part-2.html First eye surgery is set for this Thursday!06 May 2025 04:37 +0000at://did:plc:uvpyb4yvcllcho56rd2lay5j/app.bsky.feed.post/3loi2qdqml22shttps://bsky.app/profile/vallian.net/post/3llyptzpohk2rCataract stuff all scheduled. Preparation and measurements in April, surgeries the first and last week of May. Obviously the most important consequence of this is that I now have a temporary excuse not to start a gym membership, since I have to take it easy during May-June. 🏋️‍♀️04 Apr 2025 15:22 +0000at://did:plc:uvpyb4yvcllcho56rd2lay5j/app.bsky.feed.post/3llyptzpohk2rhttps://bsky.app/profile/vallian.net/post/3llg5rgcfw22eSecond ophthalmologist of the day, third overall. This time went well so I'll be getting everything done there in the coming weeks. My only complaint right now is: he explained dry eye to me and now I'm suffering in my own awareness... 😭28 Mar 2025 06:10 +0000at://did:plc:uvpyb4yvcllcho56rd2lay5j/app.bsky.feed.post/3llg5rgcfw22ehttps://bsky.app/profile/vallian.net/post/3lleomayvy22iI continue to collect ophthalmologists. I had an appointment this morning, but she doesn't have experience with the specific lens I'm interested in. She gave me names for some other doctors in the area, and the first one I called has an opening this afternoon.27 Mar 2025 16:06 +0000at://did:plc:uvpyb4yvcllcho56rd2lay5j/app.bsky.feed.post/3lleomayvy22ihttps://bsky.app/profile/vallian.net/post/3ll43me5vz22bGot a very long overdue haircut today. The stylist mentioned the importance of moisturizing my curly hair, which was new to me. So I finally -- after years of having long hair -- decided to look into what's unique about curls vs straight hair. I've been doing so much wrong...24 Mar 2025 06:05 +0000at://did:plc:uvpyb4yvcllcho56rd2lay5j/app.bsky.feed.post/3ll43me5vz22bhttps://bsky.app/profile/vallian.net/post/3lj5azyajwc24It goes against my personality to be "window shopping" for cataract surgeons right now. I really want to just take the cute doctor I already met, but he doesn't offer the latest lenses. If I didn't have the daily annoyance of this busted eye I'd likely just sit still for months.27 Feb 2025 06:25 +0000at://did:plc:uvpyb4yvcllcho56rd2lay5j/app.bsky.feed.post/3lj5azyajwc24https://bsky.app/profile/vallian.net/post/3livkhervlk2mLong-form post about my recent cataracts diagnosis: https://dallinlauritzen.com/2025/02/23/sight-cataracts-part-1 I'll post more right before the surgery and once or twice afterwards as I adjust. https://dallinlauritzen.com/2025/02/23/sight-cataracts-part-1.html24 Feb 2025 04:52 +0000at://did:plc:uvpyb4yvcllcho56rd2lay5j/app.bsky.feed.post/3livkhervlk2mhttps://bsky.app/profile/vallian.net/post/3lijbvt2jok2jI must always remind myself after efficiently searching for and buying a product: to now be inundated with competing ads I no longer want implies that, while the companies may track my browsing, they don't know my actual purchases. Which is good. Or that they're sneaky evil bastards who hate me.19 Feb 2025 07:47 +0000at://did:plc:uvpyb4yvcllcho56rd2lay5j/app.bsky.feed.post/3lijbvt2jok2jhttps://bsky.app/profile/vallian.net/post/3ligcivn64c2jI just bought tickets to a fan meeting for a pair of Thai actors/singers in Denver. I know what to expect from this kind of event, and it'll certainly be fun, but I'm also in a minority demographic compared to their typical fans. #GeminiFourth1stUStour #GF1stFMinDENVER18 Feb 2025 03:20 +0000at://did:plc:uvpyb4yvcllcho56rd2lay5j/app.bsky.feed.post/3ligcivn64c2jhttps://bsky.app/profile/vallian.net/post/3lg7zpxrjr22bJust over two years ago I suddenly noticed the vision in one of my eyes was blurry in bright lights. The optometrist didn't find anything wrong, and the glasses I got worked great for a while. But before the year was up things were blurry again.21 Jan 2025 04:36 +0000at://did:plc:uvpyb4yvcllcho56rd2lay5j/app.bsky.feed.post/3lg7zpxrjr22bhttps://bsky.app/profile/vallian.net/post/3lfik5tmcoc27So I'm trying to login to a charity donation site and update my account. They send me an email with a single-use link, but when I open said link they say it's already been used. I'm guessing the automatic abuse protections on my email clients are doing a HEAD request on the link...

Not because of any singularly fantastic scene, but after weeks of delivering sweet, funny, awkward romance. Thomas bounces perfectly between death stare and goofy grin. And now that he has permission to touch you, watch out Rak. #ThaiBL16 Dec 2024 04:23 +0000at://did:plc:uvpyb4yvcllcho56rd2lay5j/app.bsky.feed.post/3ldfi73lkjc26https://bsky.app/profile/vallian.net/post/3lcwrs4uylk2jHad a first meeting with a psychiatrist to discuss anxiety and ADHD. She doesn't think ADHD is likely, since I didn't have trouble as a kid, but anxiety is pretty clearly an issue. Which raises the question I hadn't considered: if not ADHD, what is interfering with my executive function?10 Dec 2024 08:05 +0000at://did:plc:uvpyb4yvcllcho56rd2lay5j/app.bsky.feed.post/3lcwrs4uylk2jhttps://bsky.app/profile/vallian.net/post/3lbic4rhjms2fIntroduction: - Freshly 35 years old - Ex-Mormon Atheist - Android developer at Google - Living in Seattle, WA - Gay and single - Possible ADHD and mild anxiety (mostly about relationships or being annoying to people) - INFP - Huge fan of live-action BL, especially Thai Interesting enough for you?21 Nov 2024 20:22 +0000at://did:plc:uvpyb4yvcllcho56rd2lay5j/app.bsky.feed.post/3lbic4rhjms2f
