Screamin Jay Hawkins - I Put A Spell On You
on youtube
I don't really have much to say these days on here. I think I may be too old for blogging anymore. But, there are lots of really great videos on the internet (mostly on youtube, of course) that I would like to share with the approx 5 readers out there. So, I think I am going to start posting some of my favorites, and some that are just plain interesting.

Homemade
This weekend I was at La Trattoria Bohemia, and the sandwich I ordered came with a side of "homemade" potato salad. How can it be homemade if it's made in a restaurant? What does that imply about the rest of their food? Don't get me wrong, I love the place. But I think the "homemade" designation on restaurant food is peculiar.

Quatchi!
The mascots for the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics have just been unveiled, and I am smitten. I have a special soft spot for Quatchi. I mean, how cool is it to have a sasquatch for a mascot? Answer: Really cool!

Under 2 billion within 100 years
I just finished reading The World Without Us by Alan Weisman. This is one of the most interesting books I have ever read. It delves into many topics that I find fascinating.
Toward the end of the book, he mentions a UN study that shows that if each fertile woman on Earth were to limit herself to giving birth to just one child, the population of the Earth would be less than 2 billion within 100 years. The current population is over 6 billion, but the number of humans that the planet can sustain in balance with nature is 2 billion (this is also covered in the book).
It's something to consider. I am not having kids, so maybe I could sell my right to have a kid, like a carbon offset? Haha.

Chicago Fire opens on J St
We went to the new Chicago Fire midtown location last night for dinner. And what I have to say is: it's really yummy! Everything we ate was really, really tasty. The staff was pleasant and professional, friendly but not invasive. Loved it!
We had:
Baked Artichoke: Really yummy; infused with butter and lemon and covered in parmesean cheese, so not the healthiest.
House Salad with Italian Dressing: A really tasty, no-frills salad.
Deep Dish Chicago Fire Combo Pizza: Italian sausage, pepperoni, green pepper, onion, mushroom. Really, really yummy! What more can I say?
Chicago Fire is located on J Street between 24th and 25th Streets. Go there and eat yummy food! Yay!
