I'll mark today as the first that I really broke my rules.  I bought a plastic folder at Staples for $2.16 - I have to submit a press kit tomorrow and I couldn't find anything to reuse at home or work.  In my defense, I only bought one (even though I have a bunch of other applications this month), with the rationale that I need more time to come up with a Fix-appropriate solution.  This area will be the source of most of my transgressions, I think: things I buy - and they've got to be brand spanking new! - for applications, presentations, and projects.  I know I'm out of dv tapes, and I'll soon be out of dvds - and I definitely feel like I have to have them in order to play the art game.  In her year of Not Buying It, Judith Levine made exceptions for anything for business - but I'm not exactly sure I can call my artmaking a business at this point...it's more like an expensive and persistent habit.   I promise to do my best to plumb the depths of my surplus supplies and seek other sources for paper goods -- and I know that to present myself as having my shit together and going places, I've got to pass out crispy photos on beautiful paper in sleek folders.  It is art, after all.
