There's no such thing as a pink ceiling according to Kevin de Wolf (22) from Price Waterhouse Coopers. This "token gay" is elected PWC young professional of the year and set up a gay network within his company. Let's see how high he can climb...
In the mean time I am thinking of switching accountants.

Religulous

Bill Maher made a compelling/funny and serious documentary about religion. I like the fact that he is so blunt with the people he is interviewing, He makes a good case in arguing that religion is dangerous in a way that it makes people to believe in absolutes in stead of trying to doubt certain things. The scenes in Amsterdam are particulary funny :-)

Gus van Sants' Milk is a moving picture about (the real story of) Harvey Milk. I really like James Franco as Harveys' lover Scott. The whole seventies atmosphere is great - I even like James clone mustache ;-)

The Teyler Museum is the oldest museum in the world. It is a science museum that started as a state of the art Science Lab when Holland was still a top notch destination for scientists. Antony van Leeuwenhoek, Lorentz, Kamerlingh Onnes and even Newton al worked in this place. It one of my favorite museums and especially the huge batteries (Leidse Pots) and the famous Van der Graaff Generator.
