Looking at my stats for the past hour, it appears that someone who reads Valleywag but doesn’t officially work there thinks I’m Lainey. Because presumably the people who work there know very well that I linked to them from the gossip blog only a few days ago, and they know it’s not Lainey‘s. So, am I Lainey?

This would be a “no.”

My gossip, however non-lucrative, is at least not consistently four days late. Seriously, when I started I wanted to give homegirl the luv, since all I do is link to other gossip blogs and she is a famously bootstrapping local. But after a couple of weeks trawling through the digital equivalent of stale, tepid bile drawn from the liver of a superannuated Robson Street barfly, I gave up. If it’s vicious, I can’t use it unless it’s also really funny. But if it’s stale and/or dull, I can’t use it at all.

So, keep looking. I’m still not going to blog about you. Levin, maybe.
