Hydration backpacks

For today's run, I went out with my regular rucksack and a Platypus bladder.  This was all state-of-the-art in 2002 when I bought it for hiking and biking, but the bag (loaded with a dummy load of fleece et al) was pretty bouncy on the run and worse than that, the platty bladder was crinkly like unto a heavy crisp bag.  A very chatty load.

So, dear flist, what running hydration backpacks do you like?  Is the current generation of Camelbak bladder quieter - would swapping the bladder alone be a smart fix?  Are there running backpacks that really do stay put like unto a blasphemous monkey/limpet hybrid?

I hate starting blank notebooks and sketchbooks.  Hate it!  I've got two now, looking at me with their beady metaphorical eyes: a fancypants Moleskine indulgence that I took to Tignes and back without even taking the shrink-wrap off, and a tough little sketchbook that I picked up at the weekend to doodle in prior to 24HCD.

I think it's just that the front page needs to be nice, or worthy, or pretty - and I draw a blank.  Ha!  Performance anxiety perfectly internalised.  If you find my ancient corpse surrounded by hundreds of new blank notebooks and sketchpads, you'll know that I never got over it.
