Orson Welles once claimed that the reason he became increasingly unable to finish any films as his career progressed was a Voodoo curse placed on him by a witch doctor while he filmed a documentary in Brazil.
Lately Joel, too, has been fond of muttering in a low, theatrically serious tone “I have been placed under a Voodoo hex…”. I laugh, because sometimes, and very often of late, the number of obstacles that have stood in the way of us finishing this recording seem to border on the absurd and uncanny, like some evil force has deemed that it will not ever be finished. We’d like to say we know better, but wow, it’s been insane.
Have no fear, however, we will finish this recording one way or another, hex or no hex.
Also, this week we came across some appropriately eerie glowing Halloween skulls decorating a home down the street. We might be incorporating them into a video…if we can somehow outsmart the creepy forces that be.
