It's 2:33, so I've already got a head start. One thing I have to say is that 2:34 does keep me waiting, which, naturally is a strike against it. On the other hand, now that it's here, I'm not so sure I want it anymore. Yes, it is a bit disappointing. It seems to me that 2:34 is not worth the wait, unless you're there already, which, in this case, I forrtunately was. Now that it's over, I can't decide if I am further disappointed or relieved. I suppose I generally want more out of a given time, but these things always seem to fall short. Perhaps it should come as a relief, then, that 2:34 was very low-key. I had low expectations going into it, but at least I wasn't terribly let down by it. It made no promises and it kept to itself. It acts as its own excuse, in a sense. On the one hand, one might complain how dull and boring 2:34 can be, but on the other hand, it
is 2:34 a.m.; what are you expecting?
Con: Work done at this time tends to suck more than otherwise
Pro: There is a higher chance that the sucking will be of an
erotic
nature
Con: Kind of dull and boring
Pro: Very discreet, almost unnoticable
Pro: Lends itself well to starting a new career
Con: Lends itself well to losing one's mind (maybe "career" was an overstatement?)
Conclusion: 2:34 is a basic, run-of-the-mill middle of the night sort of time, with few bells and whistles (one would at least hope, if one were trying to sleep!) and a homey kind of coziness to it. Alternatively, its extremely low-key nature can also be very isolating. You might miss it if you're not paying attention, but if you are paying attention you may realize that you're the only one, which is not necessarily a good thing at 2:34 a.m. It may be a time to live or it may be a time to die, but for most it is a time to sleep.
