Well I fill up ashtrays pretty quickly as well :) And drink pots (not cups)of coffee regardless of what I'm doing on the computer. I always have the TV on in the background....CSPAN....that's about all I watch. I create at night and weekends....when my work schedule permits. When I'm really focusing on an image, I pretty much block out the tv and everything else, with one exception: My cats :) When they "meow", I jump :)
