Ugh. If you subscribe you’ve probably noticed that I managed to publish a ridiculously rough, totally unedited draft earlier. Please, please ignore it.

Here are five things that I’m digging this week:

1. Corrine Bailey Rae’s “The Sea”

Corrine Bailey Rae’s voice is smooth, mellow and soulful. She’s sort of jazzy in a cool way. She wrote this album after her husband unexpectedly passed away, but it’s not so much about mourning as it is about hope. It’s groovy music to listen to on a Sunday morning.

2. “I.O.U.: Why Everyone Owes Everyone And No One Can Pay” by John Lanchester

You'll feel smarter—and pissed off!—if you read this.

I like my chick lit most of the time, but I read a review of this and downloaded it to my Kindle immediately.

Lanchester is usually a fiction writer and he was doing some research for a new book and realized there was a bigger story here. He explains the global banking fiasco for financial morons like me. It’s sharp and funny—and it’ll piss you off.

3. Lost: Season 6

The Lost Supper

This weekend I’m going to re-watch the last two episodes from Season 5 to refresh myself for the new—and final—season that starts on Tuesday.

4. “Celebrity Rehab With Dr. Drew: Season 3″

Mackenzie Phillips, Heidi Fleiss, Dennis Rodman and Tom Sizemore. Need I say more?

I know it seems like they’re exploiting celebrities at their worst, but there’s usually some redemption in there. Watching Rodney King take responsibility for his actions and forgive those officers was incredible and moving. I’m not sure that anyone is going to have that kind of breakthrough this season, but I’m kind of rooting for Heidi Fleiss.

5. The Puppy Cam: Part 2

The Shiba Inu Puppy Cam has returned! There’s a new litter of Shiba Inu pups— two males and three females, and they’re all ridiculously cute.
