UD is...
"Salty." (Scott McLemee)
"Unvarnished." (Phi Beta Cons)
"Splendidly splenetic." (Culture Industry)
"Except for University Diaries, most academic blogs are tedious."
(Rate Your Students)
"I think of Soltan as the Maureen Dowd of the blogosphere,
except that Maureen Dowd is kind of a wrecking ball of a writer,
and Soltan isn't. For the life of me, I can't figure out her
politics, but she's pretty fabulous, so who gives a damn?"

CAMPUS ARCHITECTURE



In a recent comment, a reader reminded UD that GW's library is plug-ugly.

TRUE.



(ps: Did you know that "plug-ugly" is not an adjective meaning very ugly, but a noun meaning a ruffian, gangster, or bully? UD did not know this until she just now looked it up. For decades, UD has been using this wonderful word to mean very ugly, and she is not going to stop now.)
