• Anyone done any Christmas shopping yet? The malls haven’t been too crowded so far, it’s kind of a surprise. Perhaps the trend of shopping on the web is helping a bit. A DJ on the radio the other day also said that the big push after Thanksgiving has been substituted by the “last minute” shoppers, making the 10 days BEFORE Christmas (The 15th to the 24th) the busiest shopping days of the year. So maybe it’s just good ‘ol procrastination that’s winning.

Who knows though, maybe it’s all the craziness with the move, or the unseasonably warm weather (though it’s still only in the 20’s in the mornings around here), but it just doesn’t feel much like Christmas this year! Maybe it’s just because we’re so busy with other stuff that there’s no time to think of it. Who knows? At any rate, time sure does fly. Remember when you were a wee lad or lass and every passing day before Christmas seemed like an eternity? If only things seemed to fly by then as fast as they do now!

And by the way, did any of you see that South Park Christmas special last week? Man, those guys are brilliant.

Anyway, enough of the commentary, because the News Askew just keeps a-rollin’ in! Once again, we’re going to catch you up on the latest goings-on in the UK, where Dogma’s release is just a few short weeks away. Kevin’s even back from his trip over there, and we’ve got a long post from him on what he was up to just ahead. In addition to that, a few other tidbits, all Dogma-related we believe, and a new article over on RC from the Philadelphia Inquirer called “Moviegoers Get Lesson In Morals” which is a very thoughtful and flattering take on Dogma. Thanks to Movi-robb, Greg Lester, & Darth Mabel for letting us know about it.
