reference department, part 2

Fool that I am, I stayed up until 2am this morning finishing Red thunder. At 1:15 am I had reached Part 3 and was torn between sleep and getting to the epilogue, and as soon as I heard the upstairs neighbor snoring my decision was made; I was in for the long haul.

And I'm glad that I did it, other than the whole feeling like a zombie thing. I'm not going to make that same mistake tonight, though, so I'll have to put off writing more about the book until another night. I just wasted too much time trying to install phpBB2 (a message forum package that should work fine on my computer, but doesn't) and I need to get to bed before the bastard upstairs starts snoring loudly.
