An external flash is your easiest bet. Bouncing is good as long as the ceiling or wall you bounce off is reasonably low, level & neutral colored.

Without a flash you will need to use slow shutter speeds or faster glass (like the 50mm f/1.8D). I'm not sure if the D70 supports it, but the auto-ISO feature can be very useful in compromised or constantly changing lighting conditions. You can set the minimum desired shutter speed you want and the camera will automatically increase the ISO to try to maintain it. With the 18-200VR you can probably handhold pretty slow speeds like 1/30th or 1/45th, if you have steady hands.

The cool thing is that since digital is essentially 'free' you can shoot LOTS of pics, and just toss the lame ones.
