A while ago I was wondering what the verb form of nostalgia was, and not unexpectedly thought it to be 'nostalgize'. But I decided to google it anyway and stumbled upon this interesting list of newly verbified words. Has some nice additions to the language:

Some words that stand out:
Sunset - To lapse or expire at a preset time. "Don't forget that this commission sunsets at the end of the fiscal year."
Theatricalize - To make more theatrical or flamboyant. On National Public Radio, Susan Stamberg said of Noel Coward that he had "theatricalized himself."
Yes - To agree to. From the St. Paul Pioneer Press: "Jennifer Aniston, one of TV's 'Friends,' has yessed a marriage proposal by Tate Donovan, late of TB's 'Partners,' according to the Star."
...and many more.
write some more ! :)
