Do I have a CHO-BSESSION?
Is it me, or have I been blogging A LOT about John Cho lately? I think I have been. For the record, I admire his work, but I am in no way an obsessive fan. I just want to be best friends with him. Forever. Okay. That was a total joke. It just so happens...

Hangin’ with John Cho and his posse
