Well, I asked my friends at Stop & Shop if they would like to help sponsor This Full House with a call out for donations in support of Blogging Out Hunger and they seemed to feel that it's, you know, a pretty good idea. Aaaand, here's the good part, there's a way you (yes, YOU!) oh, savvy Internets, can help. How? [grin] Why, by doing what you do best...of course!!!

[img_assist|fid=2116|thumb=1|alt=christmascreepies] Just so you know, it's official - 60 SHOPPING DAYS UNTIL CHRISTMAS! - there are exactly 9 weekends left before one of the biggest gift-giving days celebrated on the entire planet.

Apparently, I am NOT the only person on the fence about what video games to buy for my kids, this year.

I am a huge CSI fan - Vegas, New York, Miami or wherever the crime scene investigation takes me - and last night's episode of CSI-Ny did not disappoint. A couple of gruesome murders, some pretty graphic autopsy scenes, a montage of sophisticated investigative procedures, set to some kick-ass music and...hey, wait a minute...isn't that Edward Furlong and where did he get those cool-looking t-shirts!?!
