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?"

Snapshots from Home
The Fourth

UD’s about to go down the street to her mother’s house and watch the Garrett Park Fourth of July parade with her. They’ll sit on folding chairs at the end of her driveway.

This year, UD’s brother is a parade judge. UD, as always, will chronicle the parade, plus the town’s many other Independence Day events, for the town newspaper, the Garrett Park Bugle.

She will also try to blog some of this activity, so stay tuned.
