You know, when I bought my Japanese dictionary to help with anime fandom things, I never thought it would be useful in my love of cyberpunk. Well, except for making me wonder why the heck the pronunciation of Gibson's Idoru (and also the actual Japanese phenomenon) is eye-doe-roo and not ee-dolr. If you told me my Japanese dictionary would ever have any connection to Shakespeare, I would have definitely laughed.

Now I get to wonder... do I call you Pat-kun and Kerry-kun, or do I go with Kerry-chan because I think too many k's sound weird? Hmmmm. Damn, and I'm going to have to memorize all the correct uses of honorifics. The REALLY ironic thing is that I can speak Italian IRL.
