I went to see Leeni last night at Chop Suey – not to be confused with ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
leenerella. I heard about her years ago from R. Imagine 8-bit, chiptune synthpop made by a woman who can sing. She sang a surprising number of... ballads? Is that what they were? About romantic love, feelings, and bleepiness. Thumbs up!
Because she's a synthesizer nerd, I have to tell you what her gear was: a Sequential Prophet Rev 2, a Roland that I think was a Juno-X, and a Nintendo Gameboy in which she changed cartridges mid-show. Wearing a black hoodie, a short black skirt, blue eye shadow with serious winged eyeliner, and orange animal print docs. She seems kind of shy, both as a performer and a person. Yes, I introduced myself. Yes, she's kind of cute & Mediterranean-looking. Shut up.
The band after her, L80 (pronounced "lady"), had a trans (?) performer. They were campy and Hedwig-esque. Not as much my jam as Leeni, so I went home at a reasonable hour. I didn't stick around for Ghost Fetish.
Ex called this morning, wanting the Wendling's SSN and voter registration address. She's, well, she's lost her mother. She says she wants to eat everything and vomit at the same time. I asked if she's pregnant.
She's fixated on estate planning now, and characteristically of both herself and her mother, she's trying to tell me how I should do it especially in regards to our son. I did not respond, and I'm not doing it her way. You're welcome, kiddo. Don't mess it up.

Anyway, know that I am thinking of you with fondness and compassion and hoping that things resolve in ways that are least painful for everyone involved.

My sisters and I have been losing her bit by bit for so many years that we’ve had time to get used to the idea. That’s the only upside.
