Tired today

I need to get out the door - but need to suck down some coffee first. I watched Fringe last night - oooh it looks good... and not just because of Joshua Jackson. And then I went upstairs to read for a little bit. You know just a little. I was entering into the "battle" scene of the book and knew I probably wouldn't be able to handle it all. Ah - WRONG - instead I read through the entire heart wrenching and sad battle. I was on the edge of my seat (well except I was lying in bed reading). I didn't want to put it down... So the battle ends and I think - I can't put it down here - I can't go to sleep and just let him lie there all night - midnight rolled around - and then it was I can't go to sleep now and let him dehydrate - 1AM rolls around... FINALLY I just had to put the thing down. Wow - it is gripping. Very well written. Sure I had a hard time envisioning some of the Afghan landscape that they discussed but the battle sequence etc was very well written.
