dream theater

[fox]

I had a dream last night/this morning about painting the walls in my new place.  I had for some reason decided to paint every wall (including, mysteriously, the windshield of my car) one color on the top two-thirds and another on the bottom one-third, and I was having a hell of a time marking a straight horizontal line where the colors were to meet.  Why it did not occur to me in the dream to paint the lighter color further than its edge and then tape an edge for the darker color, I do not know, but I was like trying to draw with pencil using a straightedge, of which I had few, so I was using whatever came to hand.  Eventually I stopped and said Hang on, how did I mark the boundary last time?

It wasn't until I woke up that I remembered that there was no "last time", that the walls in my current place are each one color.
