Yo! I changed my photo. + SRL vol. II update

After experiencing technical difficulties with Blogger the other day I resigned myself to using the photo of me, reading a Rolling Stone [off-camera] while sitting on a futon [also off-camera] in front of a MSU Block-S Flag. But, after some tweaking and waiting I have put up a new pic. I cropped off the left-half of my face because it's just too scary to read something while I'm looking at you. [Strangely, some part of me feels that only half-a-face is even more sinister. Hmm.] I've got some pics where I'm not looking directly into the camera that I am still considering as replacements.
