Dear Diary,
Alright, Nora Ephron. What gives? I've been waiting for over 10 years! Is it too much to ask? Oh, sure, Julie & Julia was lots of fun, and it was partly set in New York... But where are the quirky, somewhat handsome yet obtainable, men? Where is romance? And, most importantly, where is Meg Ryan?
Still waiting, Jessica
