Read this article about the change in movie going etiquette in North America. In Japan the theatre chains run in-house PSAs before movies reminding movie goers not to chat with friends during the movie, not to talk on the phone, not to turn on smartphone screens, and not to kick the seat in front...and they work. 😊

The parts for my Bialetti Moka Express arrived today. 😁. The new ones are on the left and old ones are on the right.

Music playback sourced from my iPhone X on my car stereo has been acting odd. It finishes one song, goes to the next song (whilst the iPhone playlist updates), plays sound for less than a second, and then goes silent (but the song is still playing). 🤔

I learned today that a "yakyu ban" game is a table top baseball game. One of my students said that's what he wants on his birthday. 🎂

I made it to Yamagata station with time to spare to board the 18:39 train bound for home. 🚉

I ordered the "Eigo Da-ke" game and bigger gaskets than the previous ones I purchased for my Bialetti Mokaespresso (sic) coffee maker.

I finally found the medical clinic patient number cards which I had been searching for since last Saturday. 😁

Neither the keyboard or mousepad on my old MacBook Pro work. Luckily I could set it up to work with my iMac Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. 😂😂. So, with those, I did manage to find a settings backup for my iPhone 6 on the MBP and was able to restore the iPhone. 😆

Fired up the old iPhone 5...it's as it was when I last checked on it. The iPhone 6 though lost all its data and settings. It opens up as a fresh new iPhone that has to be set up from scratch. I don't have a backup of it on my MacBook Air. 😞
