Yeah, I agree with you there. Which is funny, because some people think ours is really messed up. But I'm kind of used to it at this point. Some of the other things I've heard about, I don't know how well I'd handle that.
It's technically a comic opera. There's a guy, Frederic, who finished up his apprenticeship with pirates and meets a girl, and then he discovers his apprenticeship isn't actually done yet (because he was born on February 29). It's really fun.
