START + DAY

7:11 a.m.

I dreamt of being awake and woke up in a fog.

TRUE + COLOR

11:03 a.m.

Anyone who cares searches for The One True Color. A monochromatic palette leaves one wanting in the opposite direction than one thinks. Solochromacy is the goal.

OCTOPUS + BOX

1:17 p.m.

Saw an octopus sneering at me again. I have grown weary of searching.

PAINT + CANVAS

2:51 p.m.

The discovery of Dark White brings me closer.
