Gratitude today for:
1). Movies I've never heard of but that are streaming instantly on Netflix. Like this one. With the apartment to myself, I can watch whatever movies I like, regardless of whether they are cheesy romcoms or dance the line between progressive/Orientalist and would make my graduate advisor from NYU purse her lips, smooth her hair, and say, "I think that is a very normalizing/homogenizing statement..." (And she'd be right. Guessous is always right.)
And 2) hearing Syrian Arabic spoken, in said film, for the first time since being in Sham. Qalbi ma3'k ya Sham.
