King Corn review

Last night I saw King Corn. Two guys grow an acre of corn in Iowa and learn
about how much corn is grown in this country and added to cheap foods
that we eat. There's more to it. It's well made, informative and worth seeing.
Click here for more about the film.

Oprah Winfrey Lookalike

This is so funny. It's an over the top exaggeration of her. I love it.
Hopefully Oprah would think it's funny, cause I love Oprah and her show.

Love this version of Dark Hallow, sung by Dan Hardin.

featured artist, YouTube video

Today someone sent me an e-mail to inform me that
I'm the featured artist on imagekind click here.
How did that happen?

Right now I'm busy with several projects,
and on a semi-vacation, dogsitting.
The vacation part is having
2 weeks off from my other job.

Yesterday I worked on making my first video,
which is on youtube, click on my name, sarahsolie7.
It's called basement tour. The next one will be
better and maybe I'll post it here.
