there is so much with just those three words. worth looking at, most notably, "es" is translated as "ash tree" in both Afrikaan and Dutch.

(jonah is literally in the fish's belly)

(love song, with two goldfish) (He's a drifter, always floating around her, has nowhere else to go. He wishes she would sing, not much, just the scales; or take some notice, give him the fish eye.) (Bounded by round walls she makes fish eyes and kissy lips at him, darts behind pebbles, swallows his charms hook, line and sinker) (He's bowled over. He would take her to the ocean, they could count the waves. There, in the submarine silence, they would share their deepest secrets. Dive for pearls like stars.) (But her love's since gone belly-up. His heart sinks like a fish. He drinks like a stone. Drowns those sorrows, stares emptily through glass.) (the reason, she said she wanted) (and he could not give) a life beyond the (bowl)  By Grace Chua

Reversal

When Lude comes to check on Johnny as he is working on the "House of Leaves" project, Johnny doesn't "Leaves the House."

the word house on this page is black and not blue.

The words seem to take the shape of a martini glass on this page and the next. Maybe because of all the mixed words?

Johnny = Oedipus

Similarities between Johnny and Oedipus Rex.

Extremely affectionate relationship from mother to son. (Letter on 603)

Oedipus killed his father with a horse drawn carriage present, Johnny's father was killed by a tractor trailer. 

Oedipus's mother died of asphyxiation from hanging herself with her own robe, Johnny's mother died of asphyxiation from hanging herself with her own bed linens.

Lastly and perhaps most significantly, Oedipus stabbed out his own eyes with a brooch from his mother's gown, Johnny claims a piece of his mother's jewelry after her death.

Navidson reentering the house.

About two years ago, I took a trip with a couple friends down to Richmond. We drove down in my friend's old beige Town&Country Minivan with a sliding door. I sat in the middle row so I could stretch out across the bench style seating. A little ways outside of Richmond we stopped at a restaurant called "Johnny Rockets" for dinner. We laughed, ate, paid and walked back out to the van. Since I was the last to pay, I walked out of the restaurant last. Checking Facebook on my phone, I walked up to the old beige Minivan, opened sliding door and climbed inside, and buckled myself up. I should mention that I was slightly confused due to the bench style seating somehow transforming itself into two completely separate individual second row seats. I looked to the front of the van to see a highly unfamiliar man and a woman staring at me in shock.

I feel that this story relates to the scene where Navidson reenters the house and finds it to be different that it was before. Obviously I had climbed into the wrong van by mistake, but this brings up the concept of perceived reality vs. actual reality which seems very closely related to this book.

And the restaurant we ate at had Johnny's name in it, which I didn't realize until writing down this story.
