We decided as an apartment it would be fun to decorate the place a bit. Our first addition was a poster of Marilyn Monroe. Very glamorous. I though it was fine hanging in our kitchen. Made the place feel a little less like a jail cell. Today one of the roomies took the initiative to decorate. Here is where the problems come. She moved the Marylin poster into the hallway where it would join her collection. The biggest problem, a rather large, ugly, flag. It's not a state flag, country flag, or school flag. If only I were so lucky. It's a weird karate flag. There is not a word of English on the entire thing. It might not be so bad if it weren't the first thing a visitor sees upon entering our place. The next problem comes from a big poster of the moon. It's ugly. It has all sorts of weirdo diagrams on it and is not a romantic version of the moon at all. The last poster is some weird fairytale nonsense. It looks like you could find it at the gift shop at the Shakespearean Festival but their posters tend to be a bit cooler. A lot cooler actually. I am mostly disturbed by these additional decorations because they shrink the feel of the hallway. No posters= a non-claustophobic feel. Posters= the most uncomfortable place to be on the entire campus. And they are just no good. Any suggestions on how I can get them removed?

I'm guessing your roommates don't know your blog address!
hmmmmm. . . . . kind of odd posters.
How about if you propose a rule that all art in common areas of the apartment have to be voted on, by secret ballot, including current hallway and kitchen art. Also, that space be alloted to each person, i.e., one person can't put up all the art in the apartment. (And my motto is: I don't care if people like me or not as long as I have m way.)
P.S. Your other choice is to give your roommates your blog address. :) Love, Toots
How about propose that each person only get one poster in the hall (and of course, the five others probably won't put one up.)
And, who owns the Marilyn Poster?
PS- suck it up a little bit.
