What is your grinding style, How do you keep it interesting and not just give up after and hour, how do YOU enjoy grinding?
I simply put on some good chilling music, get a couple of ginger beers, relax and do it, but it only keeps me going for a couple of hours.

I enjoy it for a little time, after that comes the task of my subconscious, while I'm thinking about something else and spamming 22341234123412342134

I used to just put my itunes on "Itunes DJ" and then just chillax
However, after an hour or so, I usually get bored. So yeah, two days ago I started watching some TV series on my laptop while grinding on my desktop. That really helped a lot - really!
As long as you watch something that doesn't require complete attention. Something like Family Guy or How i Met Your Mother
So yeah, yesterday I grinded for 5 hours, while watching How i Met Your Mother without getting bored even once!

Techno/trance/dance, anything peppy with a good beat while I'm grinding. It depends on how long I solo. Most of the newer quests are kill X mobs, so they don't take a long time.

Vent.
Farking around with any near by bots is also greatly amusing.

Grinding while watching a movie sounds a bit suspicious.

Yes but it takes attention...at least to select the mobs to kill them.

Not really, move your eyes like 10cm, watch where a mob is and click it and back to the movie. takes like 1-2 seconds.

I use Skype to talk to ma' homies, usually listen to some music. The was I grind and what music I listen to is set by the mood I'm in, one sec it can be some nice slow Dubstep with a badass bassline and the next it can be Hardstyle with extreme tempe or maybe some AC/DC.
I try to get as many mobs on me as possible since I'm a nuker. That way I wont spend as much MP

You can set your vent so that it autodetects when you are speaking into your microphone. I don't do it because it would pick up my parents talking to me and they are obnoxiously loud.

Maybe your microphone sensitivity is set too low, but OT it would be funny if you got so used to saying "duh!" before speaking that you did it in real life.

When I grind, most of the time I only listen to the sound effects of the game. It kinda keeps me concentrated and that way my grinding sessions are more efficient. Well... yeah, it never lasts more than a couple hours. Sometimes I put some music on in the background, whether it be a TV channel, a radio station or a playlist of music on my PC, and just chillax with the game.
PS: I really can't imagine how can one enjoy a movie while grinding in Silkroad.
For me it's either one or the other.
