I know a lot of people who work with their televisions on. I couldn't imagine doing that--I go days without turning my tv on just because it tends to suck me in. I haven't had cable in years, except for one brief period when I moved into a new apartment and the previous tenant's cable hadn't been turned off yet. I actually found myself watching a two hour documentary about Drew Carey, just because it was there. The horror . . .
I always, always, always work to music. The music itself is never distracting--I guess it seeps into my brain without my realizing it. Meanwhile, if my disc ends and I'm suddenly surrounded by silence my train of thought goes careening off of a bridge, far, far, to the canyon below. Most of the time Will Wheaton and Jerry O'Connel make it across the bridge in time and I'm able to pick up where I left off, but the silence is quite jarring.
Right now: Ben Folds Live. Old Favorites: Radiohead's Kid-A; the soundtrack to Amadeus, especially the 1st movement to Mozart's Symphony No. 25; the KLF; The Chemical Brothers' Come With Us; sometimes Beck, but it depends on the story.
High-five! More dead than alive!

Would like to know what kind of graphic novels you're working on!
