I couldn't find my wallet when I left home this morning >_< I don't remember leaving it anywhere, but it wasn't in the bag I used yesterday, nor the coat pockets. It wasn't on (or under) the bed, the desk, or the floor. I quickly checked my accounts using internet banking, and no money has gone, so it couldn't have been stolen I guess. Must still be somewhere inside the house.

And I'm in comp lab now waiting for my group mates to come prepare the presentation together. Just sitting here idly, reading my friends' LJ's, and suddenly realise that there's no earring in my ear!!! O_o" How long has it been since I dropped it? This is baaad news, coz by the time I get home to put something in, it'll most probably be closed up, that stupid hole.

Reading The Two Towers now. The books aren't as bad as I thought, but the characters are really... flat. I guess characterisation isn't the main thing in the books.

But can someone please tell me, why do people refer to the author as J.R.R. Tolkien? They don't know how to spell his first name? X_x" Or are all the 3 initial his first name (instead of first and middle names), so it's too long to say or write?

[edit: found my wallet XD]

Because that's the name he published under, including for his academic works (I had to read some of them at college).

So he published all his works using his initials? Is that a common thing to do in the past? ^^" (I have no idea about these things)
