@adampapageorgiou.bsky.social This game has turned into a full on boulangerie. Every type of turnover imaginable for both teams.

@adampapageorgiou.bsky.social Wendell absolutely getting hosed tonight. Two phantom foul calls and got killed on our end. We need better play out of our center position, but they need to be allowed to play too

Just a few minutes away from landing at Osaka Itami Airport and then I’m headed straight to an Ichiran for dinner. Then it’s some much needed sleep before my one full day at USJ tomorrow. It’s so good to be back.

It’s an honor to be playing my Nintendo Switch on the same flight with the man responsible for so many of the characters I’ve played my whole life. I hope Shigeru Miyamoto had a wonderful visit to the US for the Epic Universe grand opening.

One advantage of flying to Dallas the night before my flight to Tokyo was having a chance to see Mission Impossible in a Dolby Theater at an AMC that was a 5 min walk from my hotel. The IMAX screening was an hour later and I will need the sleep, so I went with Dolby.

A couple of weeks late to the party, but I REALLY enjoyed Thunderbolts*. Like way more than I expected to. Loved the directing style, the freshness, the acting, the emotion. I don’t think this film could have possibly turned out any better. What a success.

I forgot to do an Epic Universe ranking of what I’ve seen so far. Could see changes next month when I’m back:

1. Ministry
2. Monsters
3. Mine Cart Madness
4. Mario Kart
5. Stardust Racers
6. Hiccup’s
7. Werewolf
8. Carousel
9. Yoshi
10. Dragon Racers

Shows and Fyre Drill later

Awesome Las Vegas intro for Wrestlemania. Really looking forward to going there for the first time next year. We all know what one thing is convincing me to finally visit the city.

I was perfectly content last year not getting any Express for my 3 days at USJ and I was glad I didn’t. But since I only have one day there this year and it’s on a Sunday, I went a little nuts and got 3 different Express 4 passes. Two guaranteed rides on Mine Cart Madness

Today I had to use AliPay for the first time ever when I booked my stay at the Universal Studios Grand Hotel in Beijing. I now have every one of my 16 hotel reservations for my nearly 3 week Asia trip starting in May. I’m insane for continually booking so many rooms for my trips

@adampapageorgiou.bsky.social That play to end the 3rd quarter sums it all up right now. No sense of urgency. No awareness of the time left on the clock. Don’t even get the shot off (which of course goes in after the buzzer). I’m worried that coaching is a big part of the problem.

Is it me or is there way less talk and footage from Disneyland Paris on your social media feeds over the past year or so? There has been so much goodwill built up from the 25th to the 30th anniversaries, but due to lots of bad decisions, it seems like interest has dropped a ton

Seriously considering flying down to WDW for a short weekend trip in May just to see Muppet Vision 3D again. But since my Annual Pass won’t start until July, I would have to buy a 1 day ticket. Can’t believe how expensive a 1 day 1 park ticket really is now. Had no clue.

Alien Encounter and you can have Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. Doesn’t get any easier than that.
