Kanchanaburi and everything that follows

Right, people! Everybody tends to exaggerate when using sentences in the lines of "the best ever" or "unbelievable" (mind you, imagine the last 'e' being dragged out indefinitely, so it turns into a squeal instead), BUT - here comes the undeniable 'but' - it was the best ever! No cheating, kidding or any other misleading behavior here - I can't recall the last time I've been laughing out loud (on the verge of hysteria, actually) like an uninhibited child; sure, I have a decent guffaw every week (blaaaaaahhh...), but, as for most of us, the 'spark' that kick-starts a regular chuckle normally is not the kind that makes one think - is this really happening?? :) And after the regular laughs you feel time passing along just as it always does, whereas after one of them is-this-for-real events everything converts into fast-forward mode. The memory of an event taking place no more than 6-8 hours ago all of a sudden is located on the deeper far-away "shelves" of ones memory and thus appears to have happened weeks ago instead. It seems that the price that has to be paid for keeping a vivid memory for as long as you live is to let go of the feeling you actually were "in it" :)
Geez, what am I writing about? Clearly, there is nobody that can get me off the initial track better than myself! Lets "land" and talk some real stuff that actually matters and makes some sort of sense :)
