just venting
woke up to a dead battery, must have been that 30 minutes i had the doors open with no radio on. I knew the battery was going sooner or later, i couldnt even listen to the radio with the car not running for more then 5 minutes. anyways, first time i ever bought a $138 battery.I got it from napa, so i just had to vent a little.

I am not by any means an expert but shouldn't your interior lights turn off after 5 to 10 minutes when the door or trunk is left open? Mine do on my 04SLE.
