      Dead Rat Alarm Clock sounds like a band that would exist for a brief period in the 90’s Seattle Grunge scene before one of the members almost OD’d on heroin and became a born-again Christian

        I can hear a song by them vaguely in my head. When I try to clarify it in my head I keep writing a better bad grunge song than Dead Rat Alarm would do. Kinda picturing a band with practice amps attempting a Wipers song, but that might even be too cool

        I did do a super brief project with a co worker called Vinegar Rat based off a dream he had where the chef at the plsce we worked told him the menu eas changing and one of our new items was gonna be the Vinegar Rat and he was tasked to got catch rats in the hallway.

      Did you see the one where he had a hole in his roof that a possum had come through, and did nothing to fix it, and the one where his friends made him taste fruit for the first time and he scrunched his face up, spat it out and said “ugh, I don’t know how people do this” and then asked whether he was supposed to eat the banana with the skin on. When told he needed to peel it, he confusedly tried to peel it with a knife.

      My own place isn’t looking great. I’m managing to keep dishes done and the sinks, tub, and toilet clean, but by the time I’m cleared to do anything it’s definitely going to be a project. 😬

        oh man that was my kitchen like a month ago. I had literally every single dish in my house piled up in the sink, and some of them had been in there for months. I feel so much better after getting it clean though, I was literally avoiding my kitchen because of how gross it was in there, but now it’s like I got it clean in my whole house feels better because there’s not any part of it that I’m trying not to look at. plus I can cook again which is cool.

        just about a week ago I did the same thing with my yard, got a whole bunch of trash that I had sitting around picked up. once you break down the barrier of the initial doing it maintenance is so much easier than cleaning up.

          As a recent grown up im this scenario, I blamed my working in kitchens about this. You gotta wash as soon as you finish eating and as you cook, for me, as soon as im out of food mode those dishes dont exist until I need em

          I’ve been wanting to do it, and I’ve had time, because I’m on leave – for an injury that’s supposed to be keeping me off my feet. I’m pretty sick of the mess though.

        My advice: get everytjingnclean in one big clean day and then pick a room each day to handle. You gotta get things to a point you’d be a bit upset if it got dirty and then it becomes a battle plan against dust. I hit an age where a lack of keeping my house clean became embarrassing instead of cool and punk. If you get things to a good baseline its about taking a half hour a day to keep it going. It sucks and I still hate it.
