Can't seem to find this topic right away so I'll make a new one :p

What's the word for staring 'blancly' into nothingness, not abscentminded or meditating, but you know...braindead, like, I _don't_ get it. That kind of look.

...
God, my english has deteriorated(I had to look that up to see how it's spelled Sad )

Could be any number of words: vacuous, vacant or impassive. Like any of those?

iaiau--

"A twelve foot stare in a ten foot room" is another way of saying "staring blankly". The starer isn't looking AT anything--he's focused beyond the walls.

didn't they call that the 100 yard stare in Nam?

Zoned out is applicable, although I like Scoop'n Skeeters the best I must say.
