staring at the wall:

the wall (n) 1. thing that separates rooms. usu. wood or cement. 2. a message board on facebook. 3. a place where movies are projected sometimes. 4. place to put maps, postcards, pictures, portraits, calendars, mirrors, etc. anything that can be hung. 5. a thing people are driven up: viz. ‘she drove me up the wall when she did that,’ see [[idioms: up the wall]].
