The following were on my mind between Monday, December 5th and Thursday, December 8th:
- Someone should create a compilation video of every plot on "Modern Family" involving car crashes. I swear nearly every other episode lately has involved one of the cars doing some damage or getting damaged.
- So, it looks Albert Pujols is going to be playing baseball as an Angel in the minds of everyone except for Cardinals fans. In a way, I can't say that it was a bad thing that Pujols didn't sign to become a St. Louis Cardinal for the next ten years. $254 million is a lot of money, especially for small market teams like the Cardinals. He will also be 41 by the time his contract expires in ten years, and playing on an American League team with a designated hitter spot ready for him just in case he's not fit to play any more first place is a nice fit for him. Besides, he has done more in St. Louis (3 MVP titles, two World Series rings) than most people have done in their entire lies, and I think the Cardinals (who are the defending champions, I might add) have a good enough team already to make a few more postseasons without him. In essence, this wasn't the MLB equivalent of Lebron James signing with Miami at all.
- Speaking of free agent signings, so long Mark Buehrle! It's been great fun to watch you in a White Sox uniform over the years, whether it was viewing your two no-hitters or your pitching that helped the team win the World Series in 2005. I wish you, along with Ozzie Guillen, luck in Florida and hope that you can do better in the more pitcher-friendly National League.
- I'm looking forward to watching ABC's new comedy "Work It," but only because I'm interested to see if it matches my current expectations in being one of the worst shows of all-time.
- FOX News never seems to stop amazing me. Now they're even going so far as calling The Muppets a Hollywood plot to make children hate capitalism! I don't know what's sadder: the people who came up with this theory or the people that actually believed in this.
- I hate how E! moved "The Soup" to Wednesday nights! The show was such a great thing to watch at the end of the week, and the channel moved it two nights earlier for no reason. Does Comcast have a vendetta against Joel McHale?
- I get that you don't like Childish Gambino's new album "Camp," Pitchfork...but at 1.6?!?! That's "stop making any more music" bad! At least try to stop acting as if you're not trolling music fans with this review.

More random thoughts to come on Monday! Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go ahead and turn on my TV to watch a certain cult comedy on NBC before it's taken into hiatus for who knows how long. I suggest that you should too.
