    Here you go! Sorry if it's a bit rough around the edges. I have no idea what I've been looking at for the past five minutes, but hopefully I've accomplished what you were looking for. :p

    ...using the lasso tool is surprisingly pleasant when you absolutely cannot get to sleep. >_>

    That's a pretty distinct background and shouldn't be difficult to remove.

    What software are you using?
    In photoshop duplicate the layer and apply a threshold adjustment. Move the slider as required to separate the background.

    You may need to go in and paint in a few spots with a brush to clean up.
    Once that's done ctrl+click the layer to make the thresholded layer a selection.
    Or use the magic wand to select all the white bits. Invert selection if needed.

    Refine the edge to smoothen it up.

    You could go mad and use the pen tool to make a crisp vector mask also.
