Spent the day at an FSA pool party with music by @taylorswift13. They even brought me whiskey. Hands down, best birthday ever.

Listening to the shells usher in my birthday. Afghanistan, California, DC, Egypt, Turkey, Syria. What an insane year.
Aside from Rastan, where there was a state of open war, I think Jadaydat Artouz was the most dangerous place I've been here. Glad to be out.
On BBC radio 5 Live later, 3 AM (ugh) local Syria time, hopefully talking mostly about the stark diff btwn Darraya and Jadaydat Artouz.
Been hearing all day about shelling in At Tal. Cell phones there are down now, which is often an indicator of impending government action.
