Sweet Catastrophe

I now feel comfortable presenting my new blog, Aftershocks! I’ve still got a little work to do, but I’m happy with the name, and I’m happy with the setup now.

Aftershocks will be my review-type blog. Not necessarily all reviews, but my opinion on ’stuff’ in general–movies, music, websites, foods, products, etc!

It’s something I’ve wanted to do since I moved here to my own domain. I started doing this with my old blogspot blog to keep it going for a while, but I’m finally ready here. It took so long to decide on a name. I wanted something to signify reviews, but I wanted it to fit properly with my domain. Aftershocks finally came to me after an extensive thesaurus search led me to ‘afterthoughts.’ I think Aftershocks ties afterthoughts and Sweet Catastrophe in quite nicely.

I’m really excited about learning to manage two blogs. I’m still finding my balance in blogging about certain things on Afterthoughts rather than here.

I know there’s not much there yet, but I’d love a little link attention, or even comments.

More importantly though, I’d love some tips on how best to do reviews. For now, I’ll be sticking more to simply stating my opinion, but I’m really interested in doing proper reviews. I lack the skills to review something without giving away too many details, or getting too biased. I’d really like to work on that!
