As I’ve been running more and more, I’ve spent more time wearing the high-tech breathable fabrics. The simple cotton t-shirt has been replaced by CoolMax, Dri-Fit, and a host of other thrice patented stuff. Besides being functional, the clothes are also amazingly comfortable; I wish someone would make non-athletic clothing with them.

I inflicted Waterworld on Varia this evening. A decade of nostalgia seems to have scrubbed away the numerous imperfections like so many barnacles. I am infuriated because as disappointing as the film is, bits of a magnificent concept shine through. If the budget had been cut by about 80% and given to the French it would have had a bright future, perhaps as an intense psychological tale of futuristic survival and adaptation in adverse conditions.
