Ask Amy: Rogue aunt snags reluctant dog sitters

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:21:54 GMT

Dear Amy: My husband’s father died when my husband was only 3 years old.His father had a sister, “Anne,” who never had anything to do with my husband and his siblings while they were growing up, but has surfaced over the last couple of years.She has given my husband some things that belonged to his paternal grandfather, but other than that there has not been much contact.Recently, out of the blue, Anne asked my husband and me to watch her 2-year-old dog (a black Lab) so she could have a break and settle her husband back into their home after having surgery.We took the pup into our home, but at the same time I told my husband I thought it was odd that she would ask us.I’ve laid eyes on this woman twice in the 36 years I’ve been married to my husband.The pup was very unsettled and my husband ended up taking the dog back to Anne’s home during the night — after spending two days with us.A week or so later we received a thank you note, and she wrote that she was hoping ...

Decrease in lightweight plastic bags continued in 2021

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:21:54 GMT

Dom Dolla Makes Chinatown Pop

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:21:54 GMT

A fall night in Chinatown is often a great advertisement for LA — an energetic, mixed crowd beneath neon lights and brisk (but not uncomfortably cold), confetti-filled air. Last Friday, Nov. 4, it had the added bonus of being ground zero for the best house music in town, as Australian producer Dom Dolla took over the plaza for a night of his signature groovy tunes.Dom brought some friends along for the lineup, and the evening kicked off with fellow Australian producer Torren Foot. When we arrived, the crowd was finishing up drinks and milling about before filling up the dense dancefloor.We got into the mix right as a special guest took over the decks. We couldn’t make out who it was, but it didn’t matter, as by that point most bodies were warm enough to be rightfully bouncy. We later found out it was British producer Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs, and he did a worthy job getting the crowd amped for the headliner.When time for the switchover came, one question percolated — we kn...

Review: Cage is brilliant in the weirdly fascinating ‘Dream Scenario’

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:21:54 GMT

By Jocelyn Noveck | Associated PressQuick: What’s a good adjective for Nicolas Cage’s screen presence? Mercurial, perhaps? Volcanic? Volatile?How about mundane, schlubby, average? Not the page we’d think to turn to in our Roget’s Thesaurus.Yet here Cage is, channeling his inner drabness to chillingly comic effect in Kristoffer Borgli’s “Dream Scenario.” As Paul Matthews (heck, even the name is drab), a college professor at nowhere famous, he performs his job with perfect mediocrity, and seems a fairly mediocre husband and dad, too. With his graying beard, wire-rimmed specs and shiny bald spot, Cage’s Paul is the guy in the room you ignore.Until, suddenly, you can’t. Because something weird starts happening. Paul starts appearing in people’s dreams. Everyone’s dreams.The premise is delicious — and precarious. It recalled for me the setup in a very different movie, “Yesterday,” where only one guy on Earth re...
