Well, I made an honest effort to find a free, outsourced (not on my host), group blogging service besides Blogger/Blogspot, but couldn't find one. Most of the other ones I've seen weren't free, another one that seemed to fit the bill wouldn't load one day (unreliable), and the two (jroller and cheblogs, two different versions of the same software) that I thought did support multiple users (according to the documentation) turned out not to, in fact. I really like their simple interfaces, however, and I might recommend them as a simple alternative to Blogger (though without as many features). Thus, Blogger it is for the 30-day novel writing experiment. UPDATE: Blogger's been really slow over the past two days, and their Blogger status page reflects this information, but promises some impressive and scalable hardware upgrades that should remedy this problem ASAP. Hope so.

We watched "The Midas Touch" (1997; Trevor O'Brien, Ashley Lyn Cafagna) and "Star Trek V: The Final Frontier" (1989; Leonard Nemoy, DeForest Kelley) last night on VHS.

Misti spent and hour and a half in line yesterday at the Registrar of Voters successfully early voting, after having seen the even longer line at the Reno Town Mall library branch. What a pain. Personally, I'm going to wait until 5 minutes to 7 on the 2nd, because I honestly think the lines will be shorter.

Found the 'Pet Therapy' letterbox hybrid cache today, and Becky got to step on the big, white 'R' on the hill on the way back down. At some point we stopped by BK and Becky got a Donatello (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle) in her happy meal, which seems to be a leftover from a previous promotion, since their current one is Shark Tale. We then ran the kiddos over to our ward's Halloween party so they could trick-or-treat.
