Woody Allen’s typewriter, scissors, and staplers
Woody Allen bought his Olympia portable SM-3 typewriter when he was 16, and he’s used it to type every single thing he’s written since then. “It cost me $40. The guy told me it would be around long after my death.” When he needs to cut and paste, he cuts and staples.

Jeune fille timide, Amélie cultive un gout particulier pour les tous petits plaisirs : plonger la main au plus profond d’un sac de grains, briser la croûte des crèmes brûlées avec la pointe de la petite cuillère et faire des ricochets sur le canal Saint Martin.
She cultivates a taste for small pleasures: dipping her hand into sacks of grain, cracking crème brûlée with a teaspoon, and skipping stones at St. Martin’s Canal.
