I take everything back

Kim Gordon evening, Berlin 20 April 2026

Apropos of nothing at all 5: "I'm gonna marry someone with a car." Me: "When? Now? Who?" 5: "Maybe a granny with children but no husband who has a car" Me: "you're going to now find a widow and marry her?" 5: (serious) "yes".

I once got super high at Redding festival and got bounced around like a ragdoll during the Deftones set. Chino Moreno has been unavailable for comment. More like tone deaf.

Telling my wife who works for a law firm what my day on the Games Industry was like

Tonight. Any takers?!

I'm old enough to remember what life was like before Tinder and well..

Watching Braveheart with 13 so he understands.

Berlin, X-Berg. 18 April 2026

Telling my wife who works for a law firm what my day on the Games Industry was like

Telling another cowboy to stand down:

There's a guy at the playground with his kid. He's about 50. Has a fat bike, FAT gold chains and the biggest D&G sunglasses you've ever seen. He has a boom box playing 90s electro and disco BANGERS. Absolutely in awe

Spare ticket for Kim Gordon going for tomorrow at Huxleys. Any takers?

Been comic book shopping

When I want to get my wife's attention

Had a beer on a Berlin terrace and felt my entire well-being recover a few percent. Berlin and I are back, baby!

Love the DJs names

At a beer garden with 5 and 13, talking about life and death. Waitress: "everything okay?" 5: "We're talking about dead people?" ... 5: "men love dead people!"

Why do the Japanese like their buns askew (2026)

"I'll take the kids tomorrow"

Brutalised my 13 year old so comprehensively at FIFA that he switched off the console and just sat there, seething. Pretty sure I'm getting a visit from child services. Worth it though to see 1 FC Köln demolish Mexico 4:0 in the first half. #StillGotIt #NotSureWhatItIs

Non-sexual WhatsApp messages to wake up to

Classic youtu.be/SyZp0vkuCiA?...

Same, robot. Same

Had our 7 year anniversary this year which is wool or copper. Here's what I got my wife (as well as a wool sweater from Strike Gently

Thank God blue sky is back. My mental health was recovering at an alarming pace

I got into Iron Maiden a little late in life, but have developed a deep appreciation for their art as I descend deeper into my 40s.

Tough week if you're on Mortal Kombat 2 and see this trailer hit the scene. I believe the kids call it "Trailer Mogged"

Oh, Blue Sky was down? I didn't realize, I was too busy lifting crashed cars off of toddlers and saving the rainforest to notice.

Trying out my other @kim-hu.com special on a very AAAAAAHHH day

5s breakfast: 5: "Breakfast is not funny"

heated chivalry

Drop your crime fighting catholics

I think that breaking up Ticketmaster and throwing a bunch of those mother fuckers in jail would heal western civilisation

The male urge to sail to the Netherlands and eat haring met ui

5 won't sleep at a reasonable time so I tried explaining counting sheep to relax the brain at bedtime. *10 minutes later* 5, shouting down the hallway: "I COUNTED COOKIE MONSTERS BUT THEY'RE FIGHTING"

*Godzilla stomps the US* CROWD CHEERS *Godzilla eats the mayor of New York* CROWD BOOS

Whats the opposite of "Looksmaxxing" as I'm doing that today having just caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror

Just had an AI notetaker arrive late for a meeting

5: "what does 6 7 mean" Me: ".... I honestly don't know. I haven't the faintest. Nor will I Google it. This is fine. I don't want to know."

All of fucking Blue Sky right now

I have been reliably informed by my sleepy wife that our anniversary is actually TOMORROW and I should pocket my enthusiasm and presents one more day. Please stand down.

Pleading with the US and the Vatican: "Guys, guys, you have so much more in common than not. Just focus on the many many gruesome and evil deeds you could be doing -together-"

7 years ago I added "Blackwell" to my name and my lovely wife added "Downie" to hers and so shall it be

Bart at the chalkboard in the Simpsons opening: "I WILL NOT SIDE WITH THE CATHOLIC CHURCH, EVEN FOR LOLS. I WILL NOT SIDE WITH THE CATHOLIC CHURCH, EVEN FOR LOLS. I WILL NOT SIDE WITH THE CATHOLIC CHURCH, EVEN FOR LOLS. I WILL NOT SIDE WITH THE CATHOLIC CHURCH, EVE" ...*school bell, grab skateboard*

Gravy a song: Life goes on day after day Hearts torn in every way So ferry 'cross the Gravy 'Cause this land's the place I love And here I'll stay People, they rush everywhere Each with their own secret care So ferry 'cross the Gravy And always take me there The place I love
