Since I am running out of favorite sonnets I am opening today's entry up for anyone to post their favorite sonnets. It's either this, or I post one of my rubbish sonnets. No one wants that.
Please, I am desperate for fresh 14-liners.

Regency House Party
The first and only reality show I loved. Reading the less than spectacular Austenland recently made me long for the tantrum laced graces of The Regency Hose Party for the first time in ages. I was so pleased to see that Channel 4's website had the complete series up. That is until I saw that they blocked Americans from accessing their videos. Unfortunately, that's where I am. I don't like most American television, so I depend on internet resources to supply me with what BBCA and PBS don't mete out regularly or at all.
This is just my mini-rant/moan about not being able to find anywhere to watch Regency House Party. Any sneaky tricks or alternative names for the videos would be most appreciated. Thank you.
Oh, and Slings and Arrows begins its turn on American tv once again tonight on Ovation TV. It's a fantastic series about a Canadian Shakespeare festival. Anyone that's worked in the theatre will appreciate it humor and even if you never have, check it out.

Help
I have been turning over an idea for an historical fiction piece based off the poetry of the Exeter book for months. I have a basic story idea, but every time I try and start work on it I feel really trapped by my ignorance. I mean there is not a lot of information about the 10th century abounding. I've found some basic "here's what type of clothing they wore" and "Vikings came and pillaged in typical Viking style," information, but I really need to know about daily life, the life of women, marriage. What did it feel like to live among them, go to battle with them?
So if anyone has good sources for information about the early Celtic people from this period; books, documentaries, articles, even historically accurate feature films- I would be most obliged. I would cite you in my dedication if it ever gets published.
Thanks in advance.
