I loved reading our Ghost Writer (Jen of Blog It Or Lose It ) today. She shed light on a subject which is near to us all, popular culture ... that is movies, tv series and perhaps video games and popular music ... there's a lot more behind the subject than most of us probably would have thought about without this reflection by Jen and I really appreciated reading her point of view and decided to find inspiration for the following haiku from a few of my favorite "distractions".
By the way, the post makes reference to how, in the past even the great haiku poet Basho used popular culture sometime to write haiku ... curious? Follow this link to Carpe Diem Haiku Kai!

There is so much to choose from ... to tell the truth I don't watch many TV series ... though I have my favorites - Star Trek (all of them), The Big Bang Theory, Doctor Who and I loved Firefly ... but I watch oodles of movies, though few more than once. The one's I used to inspire me are two of my "Linus Blanket" films. I have to admit ... I think i could have written at least a dozen more haiku!

Quote from the episode The Gorilla Experiment
Sheldon: Why are you crying?
Penny: Because I'm stupid.
Sheldon: That's no reason to cry. One cries because one is sad. For example, I cry because others are stupid, and that makes me sad.
