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]

That was my whole problem with the Tolkein books. In all honesty, his writing is....so...dry, I suppose? Not my cup of tea. Sit me down with a good Weiss/Hickman novel or some R.A. Salvatore, and I'm a happy camper. But then, I'm a dweeb too. ^_^

Oh and I have to finally comment...that damned icon of yours cracks me up XD

*grin* Or maybe some good fanfiction. That'll make me very, very happy =D

The books aren't bad, in terms of the adventure... a lot of imagination and everything. But somehow I think if I didn't see the films, I wouldn't have been able to imagine what, say, Merry and Pippin, or Aragorn looked like, or how they'd act...

*uses that icon again* hehehehehe

I totally agree on the imagery thing. I had a hard time envisioning things when I tried to read the books. Luuuurve the movies, though. ^_^

*pets Schuld* ^_^ waiii!
