Hello and welcome to Keba's Anime and Manga Place (KAAMP for short)! Here at KAAMP, I write about anime and manga that I have seen/read as well as my views on them. I'll also post about my original stories from time to time.

Just beware that some of my posts contain spoilers. I'll put them in spoiler tags just in case.

KAAMP's history: KAAMP was created in July 2002 by yours truly. It was a sloppy-looking website on Yahoo's now defunct Geocities. I posted my anime fan art on that site. Also, for a time, I posted my thoughts on the few anime series that I had seen. Now that I look back on it, my thoughts were rather ill-informed (is that even a word?) because I had only seen bits and pieces of anime dubs. Now that I've seen more series, I think that my commentary on various anime will be a little better than before.

So, come on in and stay awhile! KAAMP is now in session.

Possible New Music World and Other Stuff I Gotta Do

This is going to be a post of random topics.

Random Topic #1: I'm thinking about starting up another World. I want the theme to be music. I was thinking of music reviews. I could do them, but it could take some time. You know me; I never get anything done. Heck, I don't even know where to start, especially with my owning nearly 200 albums. I'm kind of hoping that some of you would pick for me. I know you don't know my collection, but if you just shout out some random artist and album title, I'll review it if I own it. LOL, no one's gonna do this. Also, if you have other suggestions besides reviews, throw 'em at me.

Random Topic #2: I'm probably gonna close my voice meme soon. It's been up for nearly a year. I'm still having trouble with the software that I'm trying to record my guitar with. At least, I know a guy who knows a guy who can help me. What I'm saying is that I don't know when the meme will actually be up. But I will finish everyone's drawings, even if it kills me.

Random Topic #3: Speaking of drawings, I'm so behind on 30 Days of Art. I hope I can get my act together by the 28th. But that certainly won't be enough time to draw 22 drawings. Also, please note that I will be deleting the 30DOA World (or turning it into something else) once everyone has submitted everything. It's only fair that I keep it up as a reference for those of us who are behind. *Cough*me*cough*.

Random Topic #4: I'm going to review my New Year's goals and see how well I've done so far. I've accomplished a few things, I know, but I forget all the things on my list. I'll post my accomplishments in July. Just for my own reference.

Random Topic #5: Expect a really big fangirly post this July. By big, I mean in-depth. And maybe a little bit personal.

Random Topic #6: If you read my stories and want more, poke me from time to time, preferably by PM. When I know people are interested, it makes me want to write more.

This has been Keba Si Rota reporting live with a slight delay. Now back to your regularly scheduled whatever.

I Be Tagged, Yo.

RULE 1: POST THE RULES. RULE 2: ANSWER THE QUESTIONS THE TAGGER SET FOR YOU IN THEIR POST, THEN MAKE 11 NEW ONES. RULE 3: TAG 11 PEOPLE AND LINK THEM TO YOUR POST. RULE 4: LET THEM KNOW YOU’VE TAGGED THEM.

1. Do you have an OC? If so, what would you do if he/she was real?

Yes, I have several OCs. If I found out they were real, I'd probably freak out 'cause most of them aren't human.

2. What's your favorite video game?

It was Pokemon Silver. Then the battery died.

3. What's your LEAST favorite genre of music?

My first instinct is to say "country", but with more thought, I'd say the kind that goes "vrrb, vrrb, vrrb". I don't know how to classify that.

4. The title of any book you're currently reading -- now!

Adobe Photoshop CS5: One-on-One.

5. What's the last thing you ate?

Homemade carrot gratin.

6. What movie are you looking forward to?

None, really. I have a small list of movies that I want to see, but they came out years ago.

7. The title of any anime you're currently watching -- now!

Inuyasha

8. Mac or PC?

I'm not super passionate about taking sides in the Apple vs. Microsoft war. Having said that, I own a Windows 7 PC.

9. Traditional or Digital art?

Traditional, but I want to get better at digital.

10. Are you on DA?

Yes. CLICK MEH!

11. What's your favorite animal?

Tough question. I can't pick just one. But my top three, in no particular order, are rabbits, foxes, and dogs.

Now my questions:

1. Is it just me, or has this meme been around before?

2. Do you ever feel pressured to watch popular anime (as opposed to not popular)?

3. If I dissed your favorite band, how would you react?

4. Is it sad that I'm running out of question ideas less than halfway through?

5. Have you ever heard a word and thought that the definition was something completely different than what it really was? (Example: When I was 10, I thought the word "voracious" meant "really, really good at something".)

6. If Person A is driving from New York to California at 100 miles per hour and Person B is driving from California to New York at 120 miles per hour, in what state would they crash into each other?

7. What was your favorite toy as a child?

8. Parlez-vous francais?

9. Have you ever typed a message with your tongue before?

10. I will remember you. Will you remember me?

11. I totally got that song stuck in your head, didn't I?

And I couldn't think of any more people that (1) have subscribed to me, (2) probably haven't been tagged, and (3) are still active on this site. If I overlooked you, you can kick my butt and request that your name be on this list.

Sorry in Advance for Spamming Your Backroom

I just uploaded my 49th and 50th fan art submissions. Prepare for at least three submissions for 30 Days of Art tomorrow. That is all. Good night.

Man, I'm such a bad host.

50th Drawing Fast Approaching!

As the title states, I'm going to be posting my 50th drawing pretty soon. I'm working on #49, and I'm almost at the halfway mark with it. But what do I do for 50?

The answer is to copy Darkarax's idea and take suggestions. I know 50 drawings isn't anywhere near as impressive as Darkarax's 500 wallpapers, but I don't know if I'll ever reach that many drawings. Only time will tell.

I have no clue what I want the subject matter to be. I do know that I want my 50th drawing to be something special, but not too overwhelming.* I want to get it done before June 1, 'cause that's when I kick off the 30 Days of Art event. So, hit me with suggestions!

*When I say overwhelming, I mean like a poster. Kita once suggested that I do a "movie poster" for my story, The Rebels of Planet Aadau. Although I want to do it, I still don't know where to begin with that one.

Remember that Google Thing?

Hey, remember that post that Adam made about Google enabling random people to steal hi-res images and post them wherever they darn well please? Well, there's a petition for that. Sorry I didn't post about it sooner. I signed it some time ago. I hope some of you will, too.
