SEEKING ADVICE
OK, everyone.
I'll be moving to Iceland for one month. Expect to see a lot about this later.
How should I blog it?
Context and criteria: I have subversive tastes, a lack of patience, and a lot to say. Of course, I'll be busy learning my Icelandic, hitting galleries, and staying at the bars until 7am during the runtur -- so, I'll likely be forced to blog updates during small windows of time at hip Icelandic netcafés. I also want to use it as an excuse to learn a new blogging community.
I'm using Orble, obviously.
I don't want the difficulty of a WordPress blog (well, I feel like in order for them to be cool, you need to make them difficult).
Notes on Facebook are too boring, too limited.
I hate MySpace.
I feel like another Tumblr would be tops, but, well, that ignores my criterion of looking for another blogging experience.
I've yet to try Blogger, so it's top on my list at the moment.
Are there other solutions one would recommend? Perhaps more non-mainstream/interesting/cr eative ones?
I'd thank you in Icelandic, but Orble tends to mangle the Icelandic letters.
Fine. Mangled Icelandic: hjalpina kaerlega takk fyrir!

I was more concerned with a quick, cool service to use. It's a toss-up between Blogger and Tumblr at this point.
Once I pass the learning curve, I wonder if WordPress is similarly efficient?
Orble's cool and all, but I wanna just slap a bunch of pics up, make some witty comments, and get back to my pylsur (icelandic hot dog), y'know?
Also, if you wanna see the incomplete page of adventures I hand-coded for my trip to Rekjavik during November 2006, click: SUGARCUBES2006
