word on the street

Samurai seems to be having problems today, so I'm not able to receive any e-mail. Hopefully this will be fixed very soon, since I'm waiting to hear from three editors today before I leave for Germany tomorrow. :-(
After seeing Ruth (and Ally, Kristen and DavidB!) at WOTS, Jeff & I went to his mom's condo to move the LAST OF OUR STUFF from her place. Yay! Now we just have one small storage locker's worth of stuff to finish moving.
Need to do lots of errandstuff and packingstuff today offline. When putting aside my passport for the trip, I was reminded again of how much I hate my passport picture, which makes me look like a victim from Night of the Living Dead. Why do driver's license and passport pics always look so horrible? Is there anyone out there who actually LIKES their photo id? I'm curious.
Also, does anyone have suggestions for a good message board hosting service that's not too expensive, easy to maintain, not easily spammable and with good customer support? I had to delete a bunch of UBB message boards because of the cost of hard disk space, will eventually delete all of them; unfortunately there doesn't seem to be an easy way to archive messages.
I'd like to move Blatherchat elsewhere. I'm looking for a hosting service already set up with message board software because I don't have the time to do it myself. I know MovableType comes with its own message board capability, but spammers have figured out how to use them. Or maybe I'll just stick to the LJ comments board and open it up to anonymous posting so people don't have to register for an account to post.
Anyway, suggestions are welcome!
You can find other handwritten Blatherings entries here.
ONE MORE DAY until I leave for Germany.
