Choice

You know what. If I have to do away with The Scream, I do consider a few alternatives as my profile picture:

• the official picture of Franz Kafka
• a picture of Baruch Spinoza
• a silhouette of Sherlock Holmes
• a book cover with Philo Vance
• the cover of The Smiling, Proud Wanderer (笑傲江湖)
• my calligraphy of The Poem of Seven Sorrows (七哀詩) by Wang Can (王粲)
• a trilobite (三葉蟲)

But, above all, my all time favorite is a two-word phrase in Chinese: 杜鵑.

PS. After all these hassles, I found out that it was the problem of the hyperlink to my original profile picture, which was broken when I updated my computer folders. Unfortunately, I lost the previous version of The Scream, and I am forced to use a new one.
