This Self-Portrait Will Change Your Life, Week Twenty-Six - "Half-way."
Can you feel the excitement? We thought so.

We also want to be sure that you know that you can follow the project in its entirety at the Flickr and while we would be thrilled to post a self-portrait of you as well here on This Blog Will Change Your Life, after six months we are wondering if anyone is going to tak

Dan Sinker the founder of the now deceased, but always stellar Punk Planet has a new joint called CellStories that was highlighted in The Chicago Reader this week.

Recommended Reading. The Mesler. And more.
We keep stumbling into the quite awesome Recommended Reading blog where they interview any number of excellent writers about all things books and reading.

Life. Love. Comics. And the Tim Hall.
TBWCYL, Inc. favorite This Zine Will Change Your Life contributor Tim Hall has a very cool new serial-type joint going on at ACT-I-VATE called Uplift The Positivicals which he describes as "a free form serial about life, love, and comics." We just think of it as very Tim Hall which means we definitely think you should take a look. Yeah, like now, thanks.

Sunlight At Midnight, Darkness At Noon - The Cunningham/McCreesh letters Volume 1.

We saw the UP today with the boys and the UP is glorious, hence the title choice for this week's edition of This Self-Portrait Will Change Your Life, our effort to post one-self-portrait per week for one year.

We also want to add that you should feel free to follow the project on the Flickr and if you too would like to see a self-portrait of yourself posted right here at T
