a gathering of the random bits....
1. This is totally a wagtail (as far as I can tell now), but this would have been a cool name for this blog.
2. Juan Blas Covarrubias, the last Spanish pirate is completely fiction. However, one of the last Spanish pirates, Benito Bonito, is rumored to have buried his treasure near Melbourne or Queenscliff in Australia.
Covarrubias may be a reference to the 16th century Spanish lexicographer, cryptographer, chaplain and writer, Sebastian de Covarrubias, who wrote Tesoro de la lengua castellana o española. (note: you'll need to use a translator on the wiki link since it is in Spanish) Covarrubias may also be a reference to the artist or a character in the X-files.
3. The overcoat plays a prominent role in SOT, Proust was know for his stylish overcoast, and just as known for wearing it regardless of weather or season. Lovecraft's overcoat was stolen in New York City.
4. Eric, in a fit of despair floods Standefer Hall.
- Standefer v. United States, basically a bribery case.
- Robin Standefer is part of the team Standefer and Alesch, who are building and interior designers. Previously, they were involved in film and their work can be seen here, here and here.
