Depending on how comfortable you are with making a design with html, this tutorial may come in handy.

It was written for WP 1.5, but I've followed those steps to make 2.0 blogs as well. It's not that hard. After I did 1 or 2 blogs this way, I checked out the template tags in the wordpress codex and started playing with those and putting the ones I wanted in to the proper places in my html. Now I can make a crappy blog skin as well as anyone

As for finding a good skin. I've googled a bunch of times and never found anything I liked, or that was suitable for what I was doing. I imagine you've been through the few hundred that pop up in the search results as well without being impressed. So, unfortunately, I don't know where the secret cache of cool, usable, wordpress themes is.
