I am so tired, I feel like my eyeballs are actually melting inside my head. HOWEVER, there is a seminar on the history of museums and galleries in Ireland from 1773-present that I want to go to (shut up) at 4:15, so I will bravely soldier on.

I am frantically trying to come up with fandoms I want to nominate for Yuletide, and am blanking pretty horrifically. Sadly, I am also fairly sure that this will only get worse when it comes to actual sign-ups, ohgod. At the moment, my list of possible fandom nominees is as followed:

Aubreyad	(obviously)
Rome	(also obvious)
Bones	(if it still qualifies as small enough; idk, I'm not involved with the fandom at all)
Watchmen	(I am pretty unsure about this - how the hell do you fic WATCHMEN; it almost seems sacrilegious - but I just want something to cherish before the movie unleashes a tide of fangirls intent on redeeming the Comedian because he is played by Jeffrey Dean Morgan or pretending that Nite Owl isn't kind of gone to seed or woobiefying Rorschach I COULD GO ON D: D: D:)
World War Z	(zombies = awesome; alternate history = awesome; alternate zombie history = double-plus awesome)
To Say Nothing of the Dog	(/general Connie Willis timetravelverse)

And... that is all I can think of at the moment, though I know there must be more small fandoms that I love. I mean, at present this list means I don't have to narrow anything down, but... you know. D:

ANYWAY, DUDES - are you taking part? And if so, what are you nominating?

(Don't judge me, but I am also kind of tempted to ask for platonic! RPF of... certain people. I won't lie, I totally want them to be BFF.)

...Oh, maybe Deadwood. Or Cinderella Man. Or The Iron Giant...

Dude Emmy! I have read, I have raved, I have bought the action figure! Well, I would if they made action figures. WHICH THEY SHOULD. With bonus whale-rescuing action!

They SO should! Man, now I am desperately wanting to reread and I can't because the book is at my parents' house!

Well, I can go reread To Say Nothing of the Dog, at least.

Both of these books were in my 'Coming With Me To New York, Why Yes I Really Do Need Those Six Giant Boxes, Shut Up' pile. :D

(But before last year I had forgotten about it for years, and then I rediscovered it on a winter break and was like :O!!!!!)

When I moved to Seattle, I could only take as much stuff as I could fit in the spare bits of a station wagon, so many of my books did not make it. (And yet, somehow Mr. Emmy and I have ended up with more books than we have bookshelves for, and we have four ceiling-height bookshelves and three more smaller ones. IT IS A DISEASE.)

I've been smuggling my books out here a couple at a time since then, just by sticking a few in the old suitcase whenever I go back home. Next time, I add Quest for a Maid!
