Born, like other comic book characters, out of an otherwise trivial but life-changing animal bite, the Rabid Librarian seeks out strange, useless facts, raves about real and perceived injustices, and seeks to meet her greatest challenge of all--her own life.

I have one shiny fingernail
After work a co-worker who was giving me a ride tonight was going to stop by the mall and asked if I wanted anything from there. I've been wanting some of that Bath and Body Works orange ginger lotion, so I tagged along. On the way back from the store, the nice Israeli man at the Seacret kiosk lured first my co-worker (and then, since she was captured, me), whereupon he exuded his plentiful charms and buffed our fingernails with a buffer from their nail care kit that basically brings out the natural oils (I think it 'exfoliates' the outer edge of the nail, revealing the shiny nail below). It was very impressive, and he dropped the price from $59 to $29, but we did resist. Still, I must say I was intrigued. :) It really does look like I have clear nail polish on that nail, and since I can't stand the smell of nail polish, it would be a nice alternative. I'll consider it for the future.

Kudos to them!
Plus-size models buck thin trend in V magazine: ‘Big’ news as avant-garde fashion publication releases February ‘Size’ issue
In actuality the 'Size Issue' of V presents women, both large and small, in a way to encourage people to see beauty regardless of the size of the woman. They even have two covers, one with tiny Dakota Fanning and one with Precious star Gabourey Sidibe, who weighs just a little less than me.
In a world where a size 12 is a plus-sized model, the average woman is a 14, and 41% of women are above that, we need to redefine beauty. Women may have an ideal size when they are their most beautiful, but it shouldn't be dictated to them. A woman who is beautiful at an 18 shouldn't be forced to starve herself till her health is compromised. What's important is one, being healthy, which contrary to popular belief can be possible at a larger size so long as you are also active, and two, recognising beauty for what it is, not merely something physical but the all-around wonder of woman.

Quote of the Day
From Lily Tomlin: 'If truth is beauty, how come no one has their hair done in the library?'
