I guess they finally got internet connections in the spirit world. A friend of mine showed me that Geoffrey Chaucer has set up his own blog over at blogspot. It’s called Geoffrey Chaucer Hath a Blog, and it’s a very clever idea, if you ask me.

Of Geoffrey’s most recent posts, he asks his readers to please vote for him over at Hot or Not with this plea: “Plese uote for me and saye that ich am hotte.”

Afterward, he reviews the new stageplay “Serpentes on a Shippe.”

(Caution, the following paragraphs may contain a slight spoiler for Lady in the Water, not that it matters much, since the movie kind of spoils itself.)

In other news, I watched Lady in the Water over the weekend. While it wasn’t a total waste of time, and had a few touching moments, over all it is a strange little movie too heavily laden with symbols and coincidences (think the coincedences of Signs on steroids).

I was worried about Shyamalan acting in one of his own movies since I didn’t think he was very good even in his bit parts in the others. To his credit, he does a decent job with his character in Lady in the Water. In other words, his acting wasn’t annoying. However, I do wonder what he’s trying to say by casting himself as the writer who will write one of the most-important books in the history of humankind.
