Today I saw a hitchhiker slow down to read the name of a roadside cross.



It's getting to be about time to title my thesis, and I hate titling things, because Route A, typical academic title is horrible, Route B, sarcasticly over-academic title will probably be nixed by my advisor, and Route C, original non-typical but academic enough title is just not coming to me. So here are examples of the options.



Route A:

1. (Re)Visioning Ideological Construction of Subjects as Consumers

2. Consumption, Coolhunting, and Capital: The Savage Girl and Pattern Recognition as Responses to the Imposition of Capital into the Realm of Art

3. Who Am I? Or, The Search for Identity through Consumption in Late Twentieth Century America



Route B:

1. I Wrote a Thesis!: Want to Read It?

2. Everything Sucks, and Here's Why; Or, How I Learned to Shut Up and Worship the Economy

3. Okay, Maybe You Are Your Khakis: Literary Responses to Late Twentieth Century Consumer Capitalism



Route C:
Hmm... B3 is really starting to grow on me...
