Here.
Right now.

Questions about "current" conditions aren't all that useful on WikiAnswers, where the question and the answers remain online for years. If you want to know the phase of the Moon "right now", there are apps for your Android smartphone or your iPhone, and there are many web sites that post the current phase of the Moon.
One useful site is the U.S. Naval Observatory's site, which offers all sorts of interesting data including the phases of the Moon and times of sunrise and sunset.
This question was posted on January 26, 2013. The Moon is "full" on January 27, 2013 at 4:38 AM Coordinated Universal Time (the fancy name for Greenwich Mean Time). So Alcohen2006's answer above was probably about 6 minutes off. Close enough!
