Jessica Rules TV Ep 5: Super-short story
Yesterday I had a photo shoot for the Philippine Star. Jay Lozada did my hair and make-up; it took 3 hours. The shoot at Blow-Up Babies took three hours—half an hour posing, two and a half shooting the breeze with Quark, Erwin and Adel. When I got home I was going to take the face off but decided not to let my tedium go to waste. My plan was to interview my cats but they weren’t cooperating. However Saffy was meowing loudly all over the house so I decided to read a Lydia Davis story involving a cat.
In my comparative literature classes with Professor Pachot Fernandez at UP I was the designated reader because I have a flat, expressionless voice.
“Absentminded” is in The Collected Stories of Lydia Davis (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2009).
If you send me a video of yourself reading a favorite story, I’ll post it.
