Apr. 2nd, 2007 12:34 pmCheyenne Wright drew and posted this tribute to Joe yesterday. So appropriate because I can just hear Joe asking to play with the shield. He is a Kick-Ass Mystic Ninja, after all!
I listened to the episode of Wingin' It that was recorded this weekend. It was pretty good and the gang did a good job of putting out a normal show. Then at the end they were talking about Joe and how he would be gone soon and that they are going on hiatus until they feel up to recording again. Ended up trying to see through tears to do my work. :( Cancer sucks.

Well shit. Last November I had posted about Joe from Wingin' It having a tumor in his abdomen. His surgery was today.
Evo just posted this update a little bit ago:

Final update for tonight. Mike called me an hour ago, and I’ve been pondering what to write. So here goes.
The prognosis is pretty shitty. The operation is over and the doctors have decided that Joe’s cancer is inoperable. Hey — now you have an “i” word to hate.
It’s spread in too many places, is invading too many organs and has found too healthy of a blood supply. Cutting it out would simply endanger Joe, so there’s no point. They took a sizeable chunk out for for further study. With luck, this particular variety is vulnerable to either chemo or radiation therapy — cuz the knife isn’t the right tool for this job.
Docs say that he should be out and back home in a couple of days. Pray, cuss, rant, rave. Do what you need to do. With luck, there are therapies which will be helpful. More on that in the coming weeks/days when we know more and tests come back.
Dammit.
I've never met the guy, but in over a year of listening to the gang down there in Phoenix doing several different shows a week I feel like I know him.
I know that he is a good person with a good heart who doesn't deserve this.
I know that he has people all over the world pulling for him.
I know that he's got about the best support system ever in Michael, Evo, Summer and all the other folks down there at Draco-vista studios.
I just don't know if that's enough and it is just really damn unfair.
Fucking cancer.

The really bad type teacher actually gave us a tiny bit of feedback last night on our roughs. Also, I learned that I just have to do stuff, it doesn't have to be good. I asked her if she had any of our previous assignments graded yet and she said no. Then she said that if everything is turned in I could just assume I'm getting an A because the biggest thing that causes people to get a lower grade is not turning everything in. This is a second year class in a two year program! Shouldn't we be getting some kind of feedback????
work:
Four days off! Yay! I'm in Shakopee next week and the week after.
home:
Four days to relax! Although I think we now have plans for all 4 days.
family:
My mother is officially completely bat-shit nuts! Thanksgiving with her extended family tomorrow will be fun. If Dad wasn't going to be there![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
hellbob and I would TOTALLY be crashing dinner at akdar's mom's house instead. More details on this to follow in a flocked post.
Moose:
I have to get him to Jeanine's house so that he can travel abroad again! He will be going to London, Paris and Luxembourg. Lucky bastard!
podcasts:
Still love Penn Jillette's show. It's been almost 2 weeks since I sent an email during it though...
Bad news on the Farpoint Media front. If any of y'all listen to Michael & Evo's Wingin' It but don't go to the webpage, Joe posted some disturbing news this last Monday: http://www.michaelandevo.com/2006/11/20/got-some-bad-news-this-weekend
Basically, he has a tumor in his abdomen the size of a cantaloupe. The only symptom he's had thus far is anemia, so hopefully that means it is just one tumor that's benign and all will be well when it's removed. The guys over there have been keeping up a sense of humor about it though. The tumor has been named Kuato. *sigh* On Saturday during the live feed/chat room we were talking about Joe having gone to the ER that morning but no one knew why or what was wrong. I don't thing any of us guessed that he has an alien growing in his tummy. :( If you listen to the show, pop over and leave him a note. If you don't listen, just send positive "Kuato must die!" thoughts toward Arizona, K?
OK, back to work for me now.
