Watching Movies with Mom

Today I did something I never thought I'd do in college. I watched a movie with my mom. Yes, she is still in Las Vegas and I am still in Denver, but the wonders of technology (really just phones) allowed us to watch an almost 3 hour movie "together." It all came about because in my Hazard Mitigation & Vulnerability Assessment class we were given an assignment to view a disaster movie and see if it perpetuates myths about disasters along with some other questions. Well, my mother happens to be the biggest disaster movie fan I know, so when I told her about the assignment, she immediately started suggesting movies for me to watch. When I settled on The Towering Inferno, an epic made in 1974, she came up with the idea of us watching it together. While I was a bit skeptical at first, actually watching it and trying to get each of our DVDs at the same spot at the same time was a lot of fun! It is definitely the most ridiculous thing I've done in a while, but it was a lot of fun and not as crazy as it might sound. So what if I spent three straight hours on the phone with my mom today...it was fun, and productive! All in the name of school :)
