Announcing Surrealism Appreciation Week!

Yes, it's Surrealism Appreciation Week here at Slow Boat! I would've started it yesterday, but the date (10/10/10) seemed a bit too rational. What is Surrealism Appreciation week? Simply a chance for me to clear out a big batch of strangely random (or randomly strange) thoughts and observations that have been floating around the Slow Boat ocean like so many millions of pieces of discarded plastic. A veritable North Pacific Garbage Patch of ideas, in other words, though nowhere near the size of Texas, and far less toxic to wildlife.

What can you expect from La Semana del'Amico du Surrealisme?

• Unashamed appreciation of Chinglish!
• Random pictures posted with no explanation whatsoever!
• Links to websites of little to no apparent consequence.
• A seeming disregard for logic and chronology!
• Thoughtful meditations on the nature of the Surreal, the Strange, and the Ugly, and the difference between them both. If I get around to it.

In other words, nothing too different from what you usually see on this site, but with a fancier pretentious label attached. Fnord. Let the games begin!
